| Had to eat at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo. We were probably the only diners who ordered only veggies: great beans, fried okra, tomatoes and red onions, mashed potatoes. |
 |
| If you eat a 72 -ounce (4.5 pounds!) steak, baked potato, salad, roll and butter, and three shrimp in an hour or less, the meal is free. Contestants sit on a platform at the front of the restaurant. This guy had 6 seconds to go. |
 |
| He did it! You can't see it, but he was wearing shorts and cowboy boots, classic summer combo. |
 |
| These two contenders couldn't do it. |
 |
| The restaurant was on historic Route 66 in Amarillo until Interstate 40 was built and business dropped drastically. The restaurant moved to its new location on I-40 in the 1960s and expanded to include a hotel. |
