Texas May Rename the New York Strip

In a bid to inject some regional pride and perhaps a dash of politics into the beef industry, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of Texas has proposed renaming the New York strip steak as the Texas strip. The move is aimed at recognizing Texas' leading role in cattle production and giving its ranchers more credit. Mr. Patrick's initiative is, however, not welcomed by New Yorkers, including those in the meatpacking and steakhouse industries who consider the rebranding unnecessary and absurd. The origins of the New York strip steak's name remain somewhat ambiguous, often linked to the historic Delmonico’s restaurant in New York City, which opened in 1827. While it's unclear if political motives will lead to a name change, what remains certain is the durable popularity of this cut, known for its marbling and tenderness, as a staple in American steakhouses.
