The article discusses New Yorkers' outrage over Texas' proposal to rename the New York strip steak to 'Texas strip.' Local steakhouse owners argue that this move threatens their business and disrespects culinary heritage. Todd Shapiro plans to file a lawsuit if the name change occurs, highlighting the economic significance of the steak in his restaurant. Alan Rosen further mocks the initiative, emphasizing the absurdity of renaming iconic food items and reminding readers of the New York strip's historical roots dating back to 1837 at Delmonico's steakhouse.
"Remember the Alamo? What happens to the Alamo will happen to [Texas Lt. Gov.] Dan Patrick if he messes with our steak," a fired-up Todd Shapiro, owner of War Room steakhouse in Albany told The Post in reference to the Texas lieutenant governor's meat-headed move.
"This guy should find something else to do with his free time - we have more pressing issues in our country. Are we going to call New York cheesecake Athens cheesecake now?" Rosen said in a reference to the dessert's origins in Ancient Greece.
