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. This prestigious list features 45 restaurants from across the United States, and Lannie's is the only representative from Alabama. The selection was made by food writers who sought out establishments that consistently impress and delight their patrons. Lannie's has been a beloved institution for five generations, known for its signature smoked pork and fiery red vinegar-based sauce, and has maintained a loyal customer base throughout its 80-year history.

Founded in 1944 by Lannie and Will Travis, Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot has weathered various challenges and recently reopened in a new, larger building after the original structure was torn down. The restaurant has served as a welcoming community hub, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. The resolution expresses the legislature's congratulations and best wishes for the continued success of Lannie's Bar-B-Q Spot as it carries on its rich tradition in the years to come.
