GIANT Steaks, Anyone?

[Hub]

I don't think small steaks make any sense at all.  If one is going to have a chunk of cow, make it a meal    Life is too short for petite filets.  Let's have a STEAK 

I haven't eaten at any of these establishments, but I did put away a two and a half pounder at a place in Phoenix a few years ago.

One of each please - not in the same sitting of course

I tried the 72 oz. steak at Big Tex's in Amarillo a while back....and it only cost me $72. An expensive experience since I had convinced myself that I could eat all of it for free. I had a hard time eating a quarter of it. I guess that's why they make you pay before you get your steak. You have to eat all of it plus a salad, baked potatoe, and a dinner roll loaded with butter all in one hour. You also have to eat a shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, but since I don't eat seafood, they let me substitute fried pickles. My take home box must have weighed about 5 pounds. I have to say that it tasted pretty good for awhile.

Did you video tape it? I think they have a live web cam

Tailgate, the video evidence would not have been pretty. Sort of like teesquare trying to eat an Amish breakfast.

16OZ is my go to steak and nothing more. I know there is now way I could be one of the super stars.

Whenever I can I try to get a butcher to cut me nicely marbled ribeyes about two inches thick.  That typically turns out about a 16-20 steak that make a nice big meal for one or can be shared by two smaller appetites.
