Texas is advancing a bill to rename the New York strip steak as the Texas strip, sparking outrage among New Yorkers. The bill acknowledges the cutâs New York origins but seeks to emphasize Texas beef production. New York lawmakers are pushing back, arguing that the name change is a distortion of history. Publicist Todd Shapiro plans to sue Texas, claiming the rebranding harms New York's cultural heritage and its economic interests tied to the steak's well-known name.
"New Yorkers believe in truth in advertising. Whether it involves the history of food or the history of our states, renaming is an attempt to rewrite history."
"The New York strip steak is named for New York City, where it was popularized in local steakhouses."
