Texas Wants To Rename New York Strip Steak

Delmonico's actually opened up eight years before Texas became a state.

But, the current lieutenant governor of Texas now wants to rename the famous New York strip steak after his state.

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says there will be a resolution in the Texas Senate to officially change the name to the "Texas Strip."

"Just because a New York restaurant named Texas beef a New York Strip in the 19th century doesn’t mean we need to keep doing that," Patrick tweeted.

Patrick says he got the idea while speaking with Texas cattle feeders and raisers.

"Out of curiosity, I asked each of them their favorite cut of meat. A few said New York Strip. I asked why we didn’t call it a Texas Strip because New York has mostly dairy cows," he adds. "Liberal New York shouldn’t get the credit for our hard-working ranchers."

Patrick now hopes all Texas restaurants and grocery stores change the name to Texas Strip the next time they reprint menus.

He hopes this catches on "across the country and around the globe."

What Does Delmonico's Think?

Delmonico's does get the majority of its beef from Texas. The eatery also gets its meat from other states and countries.

NBC reports Delmonico's is believed to be the first fine dining restaurant in America, the first to use the word "restaurant", the first eatery to have printed menus, and the first to allow women diners.

So will it be the first New York eatery to change the strip steak name?

"I think it's ridiculous. It's the New York strip. It will always be the New York strip. And good luck trying to change that," Delmonico's owner Dennis Turcinovic told NBC.
