Big Texas Steak Ranch

When Brandon was in Texas a few years back, he ate at this place called the Big Texas Stake Ranch. It is home to the World Famous 72 oz Steak! So, of course, we had to go.
 
 
We lucked out and we got there before they closed. I knew we were in the right place when we came upon this huge bull in the parking lot! Yep, we are definitely in Texas! Bigger is better, right?

 

The outside was lit up like crazy. You could see the lights from the highway. Made ya think of all the lights back in Vegas there for a minute.

 

When you go in to be seated, there is a 72oz steak right there for all to see. Are you man enough to try to eat that sucker all by yourself? Well, if you do, you get the meal for free!
 


 
 Man, that was ALOT of meat!
 
 
This place was very busy and so cool. It was a hunters paradise. There were mounts all over the walls, bull horns, and pelts.
 
We just got seated...
 


Brandon & Sky

 
Me & Bart
 
When the coolest thing happened! One of the waiters got up and announced that they had a contender who was going to attempt to eat the famous 72 oz steak!

 
So, here is the guy who wanted to take the challenge!

 
So, they asked him how he wanted his steak cooked, and the cook cooked it to his liking. Then they put him up on the stand where there is a table with a short table cloth on it. (I guess so you can see him & make sure that he doesn't hide any food). There is actually room enough for 6 people to try it at the same time.
 
If you look right above this picture you will see 6 separate clocks. If you are able to eat that 72 oz steak in under hour, then your meal is free! But, and I say but - because you also have to eat a salad, 3 jumbo shrimp, a baked loaded baked potato, a drink and a roll.
 
We didn't stay for the entire hour, but it didn't look like this guy was going to make it. So, it would cost him $75.

 
But, THIS guy didn't have any trouble downing his 30 oz steak. Where does he put it all?
 
 
 
And, this little girl didn't have any problems eating this HUGE burger.
 
As for Bart & I, we had normal steaks for dinner, and I do have to say that they were pretty good.
 

This lady set the record for eating the entire steak! Not only once, but twice IN THE SAME SITTING! Unbelievable!
 

And, we got these awesome collector's cups to take home. So, if you come to my house to visit, you will probably get to use one (since we have limited dishes).
