This is where we will be having
dinner (or supper depending on where you are from) on September 5th with
Wayne Early and his friends. This is where we spent the evening last year
and I can't find one reason to change it this year.
The Big Texan Steak Ranch is proud to be named to
MAXIM Magazine’s list of Top 10 Steak Houses in America!
In
1960, the Big Texan Steak Ranch opened its doors
alongside old Route 66 in Amarillo, Texas. On evening a
hungry cowboy ventured in bragging that he was so hungry
that he could "eat the whole, darned cow." Big Texan
founder, R.J. "Bob" Lee started cooking him steaks. When
the cowpoke finally hollered "calf rope," he had consumed
4 1/2 pounds of tasty Texas beef. Bob vowed from that day
forward the dinner would be served "FREE" to anyone
who could consume it in one hour.
The
FREE 72oz. STEAK dinner is still flourishing at the
Big Texan. More than 40,000 people have attempted to
consume the Free 72oz. Steak dinner since 1960. About
7,000 have succeeded. People from all over the world
continue to visit us to take the challenge and claim the
bragging rights.
