I tried to eat that 72 ounce steak back in 1979. Me and a friend of mine were in up in Canyon, Texas looking at going to college at West Texas State University (now West Texas A&M).
On the way home, he dared me to try to eat it (I was 6'6" and weighed 285lbs. back then). He told me that he would buy if I could not eat it.
You have to pay for it first (it was $44.12 in 1979) then they reimburse you if you eat it all. You had to eat a salad, shrimp cocktail, the steak, potatoe and then strawberry shortcake).
This steak looked like the size of a brisket, butterflied, and grilled. It was HUGE. My jaws absolutely got sore trying to chew everything in one hour.
I could not do it.
But it was making memories. If you are ever down in Texas, you will see billboards promoting the 72 ounce steak. Brings back a laugh when I see one.
I want to try it again someday for grins. Just gotta find someone to spot me the money upfront.
