Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the legendary\nJaxson's Ice Cream Parlor in Dania Beach, Florida on its 70th\nAnniversary.\n  Founded in 1956 by Monroe Udell, Jaxson's began with a simple but\npowerful vision: to create the best homemade ice cream using Monroe's\nproprietary recipes, serve high-quality American classics, and build a\nplace where families could gather to make lasting memories. Seventy\nyears later, that vision continues forward under the leadership of\nMonroe's daughter, Linda Udell Zakheim.\n  One of South Florida's most iconic, long-standing family restaurants\nand multigenerational businesses, Jaxson's is known for oversized\nsundaes--especially its ``Kitchen Sink''--classic American fare, and\nnostalgic charm, including one of the largest collections of license\nplates, which adorn its walls. The restaurant has been featured\nnationally on CNN, Good Morning America, the Food Network, and various\nlocal media.\n  Monroe and Linda always considered their staff to be family and have\nimproved the standard of living for their employees. On February 24,\n2014--the day of Monroe's 86th birthday--Jaxson's voluntarily raised\ntheir hourly wage from $7.93 to $10.10, which was later recognized by\nPresident Barack Obama. Additionally, their iconic ``Kitchen Sink''\nholds a permanent place at History Fort Lauderdale Museum as part of\ntheir ``Roots of Resilience: The Journey of Black Broward'' exhibit,\nhonoring Monroe Udell's commitment to hiring Black employees during the\nJim Crow era. Among them was George Hadley who worked at Jaxson's for\n38 years.\n  As a long-time customer and fan, I can attest to Jaxson's dedication\nnot only to their customers, but to our community. Linda Udell Zakheim\nand the Jaxson's family set a remarkable example for all Floridians. I\ncongratulate them on 70 incredible years of serving up scoops, smiles,\nand sweet memories.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2026-02-13-pt1-PgE137-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8393649477511644, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
