Texas May Rename the New York Strip

The New York strip steak, a popular choice in steakhouses across the United States, is at the heart of a political naming debate. Texas's Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has proposed renaming it the 'Texas strip' to honor the state's leading role in cattle production. His proposal, seen as politically charged, suggests that New York should not receive credit for the agricultural work of Texans. In contrast, New York's meatpackers and restaurant owners, like Harry Sinanaj of Ben & Jack’s Steakhouse, reject the change, finding the idea ridiculous. The origins of the term 'New York strip' are unclear, though it is possibly linked to Delmonico's, a famed New York City establishment. Despite the proposal, Texas's efforts to rebrand the cut have met skepticism and resistance from New Yorkers. Extracted by: https://Janestrinketonline.com.
