It takes vision for someone to open a restaurant like The Big Texan. Famous for its 72 oz steak challenge, The Big Texan makes up for its mediocre food with a highly entertaining atmosphere. It sits right along Route 66 in Amarillo, Texas making it an easy stop for large groups and families. The outside of the building is a great place for pictures with its bright colors and gaudy props.
My group opted to call in for the free limo service the restaurant offers. Don, the driver, was loaded with funny stories about international travelers and his ex-wife. The car horn even moo-ed!
This is the infamous table that sets the stage for the chuck of meat and any other up-chuck. It is set with the one hour clock ready for the group of four who were going to attempt it later that evening.
This display showcases the steak and its
fixin's that must be devoured before declaring victory and receiving the meal for free. It includes the 72 oz. steak, baked potato, salad, 3 cocktail shrimps, and dinner roll.
The most creative method I heard in eating the steak was to line the salad in the middle of the steak, then fold and eat the steak like a taco. This piece of cow was the size of my head. I even put my head right next to it for confirmation.
This last photo shows the closest I got to attempting the challenge. I ended up ordering a 6 oz. steak, and I was plenty full.
