HR 905 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Honoring Ernest Servantes of Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin for his contributions as a pitmaster and restaurateur.

It formally honors Ernest Servantes, owner and pitmaster of Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin, for his contributions to Texas barbecue and the culinary scene. The resolution recognizes his career journey - from dishwasher to Michelin-recognized restaurateur - and his achievements, including winning Food Network's *Chopped Grill Masters* and earning James Beard Award semifinalist status. It expresses the Texas House's admiration and extends best wishes for his continued success.
