From the looks of some of those steaks one would feed a large family! I know I couldn't eat one of those by myself.

The way Tim devours food, he could probably make a good dent in several of those steaks.

The biggest steak I have had in a restaurant was just over 4 pounds at a fine steakhouse in New Orleans. The folks I was down there with on a business trip said I could not eat it. I ate it and gnawed the bone and finished the prime rib of one of the ladies with us. I can eat some dead meat.

At that point it is no longer a steak but a whole roast :P

True dat!!  Remember, we are talking about Tim here.  His idea of a burger is a side of beef and a loaf of bread.

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.

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  :o  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.

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

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.
