Amarillo, TX

There is nothing worth writing about between Dallas and Amarillo. In Amarillo, located in the Texas panhandle, lies the Big Texan Steak Ranch. The inside resembles a large saloon but ornamented elaborately with christmas lights, trophy deer racks, and cowboy paraphernalia. This north Texas disneyland is complete with souvenir shop, air-soft rifle range, and slotmachines. Even more, it is home to the free 72 ounce steak. The mammoth piece of meat only becomes gratis if the courageous consumer is able to down it in its entirety - within an hour. None of the crew was up to the task this early afternoon. Instead we settled for 12 ounce chicken fried steaks. A few Alabama and Oklahoma fans sat at the tables among us. I was hoping to start an old west war of words for dessert but refrained - for now.
This is a picture of an Alabama houndstooth hat wearing fan failing at the 72 ounce steak contest. I believe it will be indicative of his prospects to come.
