Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of Texas has proposed renaming the New York strip steak as the Texas strip to boost state pride and benefit local cattle ranchers, highlighting Texas' leading role in the cattle industry. The proposition suggests a touch of political rivalry with New York, referred to by Patrick as 'liberal.' Despite the push from Texas, steakhouses in New York dismiss the notion, preferring to retain the traditional name due to its historical ties. The New York strip, renowned for its tender texture, has become a staple in steakhouses throughout the United States. The origins of its name remain somewhat unclear but may trace back to Delmonico’s, acknowledged as America’s first fine dining restaurant. Despite Patrick’s push, New York-based restaurateurs like Harry Sinanaj of Ben & Jack’s Steakhouse remain resolute about sticking to the old name, considering the change ridiculous.
