Commends Demetri's Barbeque Restaurant in Homewood, Alabama, on 60 years of continuous family operation and service to the Birmingham Metropolitan Area.

Recognizes founder Tyke Nakos, who immigrated from Greece in 1950 and opened the El Rancho Restaurant in 1961 before establishing Demetri's Barbeque.

Acknowledges the restaurant's evolution into a downtown Homewood landmark serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner to workers and families for six decades.

Honors Demetri's as the oldest continuously family-operated restaurant in Homewood, maintaining the Nakos family's warm welcome since its establishment.

Extends heartiest congratulations and best wishes for continued success from the Alabama House of Representatives.
