Todd Shapiro, owner of War Room Tavern in Albany, reacted strongly to Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick's proposal to rename the New York Strip steak to the Texas Strip. Patrick claims this would support Texas's cattle industry, citing its status as the cattle capital of the U.S. Shapiro argues the proposal threatens New York's culinary heritage and has initiated a lawsuit against the State of Texas to protect his business. His restaurant embraces a political theme, serving creatively named menu items.
Liberal New York shouldn't get the credit for our hard-working ranchers, he wrote.
We have two steaks on the menu: New York strip and filet mignon. No one's gonna order a Texas steak' in New York's capital, said Shapiro.
