許多餐廳都試圖重複72盎司牛排吃法的挑戰，但是最初的飲食競賽是 德克薩斯州阿馬里洛的大德克薩斯牛排牧場和啤酒 如果您將目光投向停車場之外的巨型公牛，那將不僅僅是一個旅遊陷阱。
The menu features everything you would imagine old west cowboys would eat — cowboy beans, potatoes, fried okra, and beef. Sure there is chicken on the menu but do yourself a favour (or should that be FLAVOUR) and come here for the steak.
With Texas-sized portions (AKA massive) all entreés are served with bread and choice of side. The bread is soft and light and unexpectedly very good considering it’s just a roll on the side.
Why am I telling you about something as minor as a tasty roll? Well, that’s because everything at the Big Texan is scratch made fresh — the rolls as well as the salad dressings and the sour cream for the baked potato. No minor detail is overlooked at the Big Texan — order a beer and it’s served in a chilled glass!
They say that in Texas everything is big, and that is apparent when you look inside the dessert case at the entrance to the dining room but don’t skip dessert merely plan on sharing whatever sweetness you pick from the display.
Don’t get the wrong impression and think from the flashy exterior and the multitude of billboard ads along the highway that The Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brew is a tourist trap with high prices and sub-par food. Entertainment, service, food, and value for the money was excellent and trust me there are a lot more locals eating here than you think.
The story of the The Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brew starts in March of 1960. Founder R. J. “Bob” Lee, a native of Chicago Illinois visited Amarillo Texas for the very first time and wanted to experience Western Cowboy food and couldn’t find it. With zero experience in the restaurant industry, he set off to fix this oversight by opening the original Texas-style steakhouse restaurant on historic Route 66.
10 years later, Bob Lee had the foresight to invest in land on the I-40 looking to expand one day. Today, that plot of land is home to the current restaurant location on 6.5 acres that includes the restaurant, a shooting gallery, horse stables, a motel, the Starlight Ranch RV Park, and a craft brewery but first and foremost it’s a 50+-year-old iconic part of Amarillo Texas.
The Big Texan Steak Ranch is open 365 days per year. Almost half-million people eat here per year with 28% being International Guests. Yes, that’s a lot of steaks!
Here’s what we tried at the Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brew
山牡蠣
When in Texas right? Battered deep-fried calf fries or testicles were delicious. Texturally like calamari, the seasoning and spice mix wasn’t salty at all — the breading reminded me of KFC. The best mountain oysters I’ve had and even husband Ray enjoyed them.
凱撒沙拉
All meals come with a choice of salad – in this case, I decided on a Caesar Salad.
洋蔥圈
在與山牡蠣相同的香料中摻入切成薄片的厚切洋蔥。對於共享開胃菜來說，這些是絕佳的選擇。
牛扒
Husband Ray had the prime rib – tender, juicy – delicious. Not a single complaint from him because he was too busy chewing!
I had the ribeye – well marbled and hence not suitable for everyone as it is a bit fatty but it is tasty! My steak was well seasoned not overly salty, and the fabulous charred crust on the outside was outstanding! Beef is wet aged for 60 days and it shows. Served with mashed potatoes, country gravy, and country beans which are pinto beans with a bit of bbq smoke.
胡蘿蔔蛋糕
七層胡蘿蔔蛋糕和奶油芝士，結冰的大小和一團鮮奶油一樣。這塊巨大的蛋糕是另一種完美的共享美食，它新鮮，濕潤，美味可口，但又不過分甜。
關於大德州72盎司牛排挑戰
The original of all eating contests, the 72oz Steak Challenge started in 1960 and has not changed one bit according to son Bobby Lee of the Big Texan. The challenger sits on the stage in front of the whole dining room and attempts to eat an entire 72 oz steak as well as ALL the sides in 60 minutes or less. If the challenger succeeds, their complete meal is free; otherwise, it’s $72US, but you get to take home the leftovers so nothing goes to waste.
目前的世界紀錄保持者是女性職業進餐者和當地德克薩斯人莫莉·舒伊勒（Molly Schuyler），她在不到5分鐘的時間內首次完成了這項挑戰。她回來打破了她的紀錄，能夠吃掉三個72盎司。不到20分鐘即可享用牛排晚餐。
你敢嗎？？
統計數據表明，每六名男子中有一名征服了挑戰，每兩名女子中有一名獲得了成功！！
如果在飯廳前的舞台上用餐對您來說還不夠奇觀，他們還會在Big Texan網站上播放牛排餐桌的實況轉播。
The Big Texan Steak Ranch and Brew is many things. Consisting of 6.5 acres it includes the restaurant, horse stables, a motel, Starlight Ranch RV Park, and craft brewery, but first and foremost it’s a 50+-year-old iconic part of Amarillo Texas worthy of a visit.
