H.R. No. 1518 is a resolution commemorating the 100th anniversary of Martin's Place, a family-owned barbecue restaurant in Bryan, Texas, established in 1925 by Martin Kapchinskie. Originally a travel stop on a rural road, the establishment has evolved over the decades, surviving the Great Depression and expanding its offerings to include a meat market after World War II. The restaurant has become a beloved institution in the community, known for its rich history, heirloom recipes, and as a gathering place for locals and Texas A&M students alike.

The resolution acknowledges the significant role that locally owned businesses like Martin's Place play in the economy and culture of Texas communities. It recognizes the contributions of the Kapchinskie family, particularly Steve Kapchinskie, who has maintained the restaurant for over fifty years. The Texas Historical Commission designated Martin's Place as an Official Texas Historical Landmark in 2005, highlighting its importance to the local heritage. The resolution concludes with best wishes for the future of the business and expresses the Texas House of Representatives' high regard for the Kapchinskie family.
