  Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Tim Love 
on the 25th anniversary of his restaurant, Lonesome Dove, a cornerstone 
of Fort Worth's culinary scene. Since opening its doors in 2000, 
Lonesome Dove has not only become an anchor of the Fort Worth 
Stockyards but has also set the stage for Mr. Love's expansion into a 
thriving restaurant empire. Today, he owns and operates 14 acclaimed 
restaurants across Texas and Tennessee, each enriching the cities they 
serve with unique flavors and a vibrant atmosphere.
  Beyond his influence on the culinary world, Mr. Love has played a key 
role in shaping Texas' entertainment industry. His involvement in major 
music festivals such as Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits has further 
solidified his reputation as a bold entrepreneur. In Fort Worth, he 
helped launch the Fort Worth Music Festival and Conference at the 
Stockyards, an event that advances the city's music scene and cultural 
landscape.
  From Lonesome Dove to Gemelle, Woodshed Smokehouse, and Tannahill's 
Tavern and Music Hall, Mr. Love's restaurants have become landmarks of 
Fort Worth's culinary excellence. Through his commitment to bold 
flavors and innovative dining experiences, he has helped establish Fort 
Worth as a premier destination for both residents and visitors.
  On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to 
recognize Mr. Tim

Love for his extraordinary contributions to our city and state. His 
relentless work ethic, passion for the culinary arts, and dedication to 
Fort Worth's growth have left a lasting impact. I congratulate him on 
this milestone anniversary and look forward to the continued success of 
his restaurants for years to come.
