Description
Lick Skillet is a name that courses through the history of rural East Texas. For more than a hundred years or so, it has been attached to communities, creeks, roads and anything else where people have a sense of humor.
The name supposedly came about when newcomers arrived late for a community dinner and found that all of the food had been consumed, leading someone to admonish them to “lick the skillet.”
You’ll find a road named Lick Skillet running through a couple of East Texas counties and there’s a story that Bethany, which sits on the Texas-Louisiana line southwest of Shreveport, was once called Lick Skillet. In fact, the town still has a “Lick Skillet Store.”
