Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick recently suggested renaming the New York strip steak to Texas strip, arguing that Texas, as a leading cattle state, deserves recognition for its ranchers. This proposal aims to promote local cattle producers but has drawn criticism from New York steakhouses. Critics, like Harry Sinanaj of Ben & Jack's Steakhouse, find the proposal ridiculous, insisting on keeping the traditional name. Despite the obscure origins of the name New York strip, which may be linked to Delmonico's restaurant, the proposal reflects broader themes of regional pride and political rhetoric.
Liberal New Yorkers shouldn't get credit for our hard-working ranchers," wrote Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of Texas in a post announcing a proposal to rename the New York strip steak in his state.
Oh my God, it's so ridiculous, said Harry Sinanaj, president of Ben & Jack's Steakhouse... I'm going to leave it as the New York strip.
