Can you eat a 72oz steak (sirloin) in an hour?

[mikeofaustin]

I would probably hurt myself trying.... but I wouldn't mind trying if I had $72 to blow. (and it's free if you do it).

Steakhouse in Amarillo Texas does this. If you eat it, and a couple of other sides in an hour or less, you get the meal for free.

(notice I added sirloin to the title. I'm a steak intellectual .

That's insane. A 72 oz. sirloin with sides can feed me for 3 days! Earlier this year, we had an Air Force Captain try to eat a 56oz steak....and he succeeded, but paid dearly for it. He said he was up all night in pain and sweating a whole lot. Even said his sweat and urine smelled like steak...I didn't ask for proof, just took his word for it. Sometimes a free t-shirt just isn't worth it.

That's more meat then what I eat in a week. I would find better ways to punish myself. It's an IBS thing

72 oz = 4 1/4 pounds = 17 MacDonalds 1/4 pounders without the buns.

Once, when traveling through there - we just had to stop there, but when they saw Mr. O, they locked the door! (no lie). They didn't have an hour left to be open.

But, its a salad, and a potato and bread - and all that meat - you do not have to eat the fat or the gristle. Back then, Mr. O probably could have done it - now - that's a weeks worth of meat!

Big Texan in Amarillo is a cool place. Forget about the 72 ounce steak deal. They do chicken fried steak right and they got fried okra. And plenty of iced tea. Good entertainment some nights, too. My ex-wife did a show out there some years back and that was the first time I was ever there, but I been back a few times since then.

I don't think anyone can do chicken-fried steak right (it's one of the few meat dishes that I just cannot eat - pounding steak into oblivian, dragging it through breading, frying it and then covering it with peppered white gravy just isn't my cup of tea), - geesh, I sound like a food fuss-budget - but I'm really not, I just like to SEE my steaks and I like it cooked just short of a vet being able to fix it.

What else do they make there - I thought (by word of mouth) that they have great steaks and hamburgers and roast beef and bakery fresh breads. Supposedly, even their salads are great.

I would like to go back and actually eat there.

Rando,

Yep - we are going to have to check our geneology - definitely related.

If the steak for chicken fried is so tough - I'd rather have a hamburger.

I like 'em rare, too - like I said before - If a vet can almost fix it - I'm there, staining my mashed taters red!

I don't know - I've tried chicken fried steak from several different people - I just cannot get with it - oh well.
