In Amarillo, TX by lunch (not by morning) and had to check out the Big Texan tourist trap. No 72oz beef for me, but I wonder if Adam from Man v. Food has tried this one yet?
What would you pair with such a load of protein? Probably something you wouldn’t mind losing a little later if you catch my drift. p.s. There are dudes walking around in real cowboy hats. Yeehaw! On to NM. -Easy

Look what I’m missing!
I feel like you’re making pretty good time here. Safe travels and good work avoiding the overly large steak.
One problem with the 72 oz. steak is that it’s not really a steak–it tends to be something like chuck roast or rump roast, and not only does that make the meat tougher but you’ve got a lot of additional gristle to dig through.

Benito… that’s interesting, because I thought that meat looked funny on the video Steve linked up. Even thought, Gristle was my fraternity neophyte name, it’s no good in a steak fo sho
I’d recommend a nice big juicy Red Mountain Syrah. Since I normally drink about two-three glasses with a 12 ounce steak, eighteen glasses would match up to the Big Texan.
Yeah, that wouldn’t be pretty later on on the recycle.
Nice recommendation, Chris!
