The resolution commends Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot, a historic barbecue restaurant in Selma, Alabama, for being recognized as one of USA Today's 2025 Restaurants of the Year. As the only restaurant from Alabama on the prestigious list, Lannie's was selected for its ability to surprise and delight customers, showcasing a rich culinary tradition that spans five generations. The restaurant has been a staple in the community since its founding in 1944 by Lannie and Will Travis, and it has recently reopened in a new location after 80 years of service, continuing to offer beloved dishes like smoked pork and fried fish.

Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot has not only survived various challenges over the decades but has also served as a welcoming space for the community, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The resolution expresses pride in the restaurant's legacy and extends best wishes for its continued success in the future.
