Day Two of the GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up in Longview

Joined today by State Rep. Tommy Merritt, Gregg County Judge Bill Stoudt and members of the local agriculture and business industry, we celebrated day two of the GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up, presented by Farm Credit , at Johnny Cace’s Seafood and Steak House in Longview. A lunch, made with fresh Texas-grown ingredients, was served as part of the only statewide, weeklong dine-out event in Texas created to honor Texas farmers and ranchers who provide us with the safest and most affordable food supply in the world.

Showcasing the best of Texas is what the GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up is all about. When restaurants like Johnny Cace’s Seafood and Steak House choose foods grown by Texas farmers and ranchers, more jobs are created and our economy benefits. Through the Round-Up, all Texans have the opportunity to celebrate Texas by dining at restaurants serving their customers locally grown and raised products.

In addition to supporting Texas agriculture, the GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up also benefits local communities, as many restaurants are donating a portion of their proceeds to local food banks.

The GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up runs Sept. 28-Oct. 2. For more information, visit www.gotexanrestaurantroundup.com.
