      The 'ol 96 was a classic scene. Now if his wife ask the server, "if I can get a dessert down him, can we get a couple of free hats for the kids"! I would have fell off my chair.

    I lived in Amarillo for 30 years now in Canyon here is the history of the meal. There was a blizzard going on and a man came in who had been traveling and was worn, the restaurant at the time allowed him to eat for free as much as he could due to his desperate need. He ate and ate and when he was done he had eaten 72oz of steak and the menu that is now the contest.

    Great choice for a first win in Texas. This challenge is legendary! And for a good reason too; the restaurant clearly knows what they’re doing. Timers set up, announcements for challengers, no booking necessary, etc. Love the idea of a free first bite. Gotta make sure the steak isn’t so cooked you could resole your boots with it, or so raw it’ll eat the lettuce and get you disqualified.
    Great job taking down a famous challenge, and congratulations on the win!! 🎉🎉
    I’m glad the restaurant gave you a cowboy hat. Would’ve been a crime not to have one. I’d’ve had to travel all the way to Texas to give you one myself if they didn’t 🤠

    Hi Eli!! Great job! That looked good! I’m with Amber because I like my steak medium well also. I would of needed sour cream for my potato. I’ve always eaten the potato skins also. I really liked the cowboy hat and the cowboy boot cup. Have a blessed weekend!🙂❤️😊

    I liked the cut of this steak better then when they serve one that's the shape of a cube. Looks like it's cooked more evenly. Great idea with the roll.
    Most cases I'm for no skin on the potatoes, unless it is seasoned very well and a bit crispy.

    Great job !! There used to be a restaurant called the red barn just a hair down the road and use to be in competition with the Texan restaurant. I ate there a few times steaks were awesome. Never made it to the Texan. I could eat steak everyday . Best steak house in Las Vegas was a place called the Flame they brought the meat to the table and you picked out the cut you wanted. Love me a good steak 😊

    Hi Eli & Amber - Only people who think they have a reasonable chance of completing the Big Texan will try it. And of those, only 1 in 10 can. My guess is that most of the people who do finish it, take almost the full hour. You did it in less than half the time. Congrats. Thanks for the video.
