A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE BAMBI DANIELS FOR HER SOUTHERN COOKING WHICH HAS GARNERED HER A TOP TEN SPOT FOR THE GREAT AMERICAN RECIPE COOKING COMPETITION AND FOR HER DEDICATION TO REPAIRER OF THE BREACH FOOD DISTRIBUTION IN CHESTER.
Whereas, a native of Chester, Bambi Daniels grew up on her family's farms in South Carolina, her maternal grandparents' in Chester, and her homestead in Blair, where meals were prepared using the food they grew and raised; and
Whereas, all of her cooking and recipes have a hint of her South Carolina roots, and she still incorporates fresh ingredients in her recipes, and when people sit together around the dinner table, she seeks to make authentic connections and break down walls; and
Whereas, her mother, Mary Emma is her inspiration. Ms. Daniels strives to keep family recipes alive, thereby allowing the voices of her ancestors to be carried over the generations. Her signature dish of smoked mac and cheese with bacon has been passed down from generation to generation; and
Whereas, she supports her hometown of Chester by donating her recipe creativity, budget savviness, services, and delicious well deserved meals to the Food Distribution volunteers of Repairer of the Breach Food Distribution. She also volunteers to cook meals for families experiencing food insecurities; and
Whereas, as fourth generation landowners and tree farmers in the Palmetto State, Ms. Daniels and her family and her sister, Emily Jackson, the proprietor of their homestead, Davis Farm, are revitalizing and promoting South Carolina agribusiness and farm-practice development to provide sustainable timber products as well as create and curate products and services that will reflect South Carolina's agricultural heritage; and
Whereas, Ms. Daniels is one of the ten talented home cooks chosen to appear on the new eight-part uplifting cooking competition, The Great American Recipe, which celebrates the multiculturalism that makes American food unique and iconic; and
Whereas, The Great American Recipe will culminate in a finale that features the finalists preparing an entire meal for the judges to make their ultimate decision. One of the winner's dishes will grace the cover of The Great American Recipe Cookbook, which will also feature recipes from all the contestants and the show's host and judges; and
Whereas, to celebrate the premiere of the national PBS show, South Carolina ETV (SCETV) and the ETV Endowment are hosting a sneak peek screening of the first episode with Ms. Daniels at SCETV in Columbia on June 15, 2022; and
Whereas, attendees will gather around the table together and enjoy a supper inspired by Ms. Daniels' self-described Southern "Heart & Soul" food-style and get a sneak peek of the first episode of The Great American Recipe. The host of SCETV's By the River, Holly Jackson, will interview with Daniels on the show; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that Bambi Daniels has brought to the Palmetto State and wish her success as she competes on The Great American Recipe. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Bambi Daniels for her Southern cooking which has garnered her a top-ten spot for The Great American Recipe cooking competition and for her dedication to Repairer of the Breach Food Distribution in Chester.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Bambi Daniels.
