Come to Amarillo, Texas, for a world famous power eating experience. :)
Big Texan Steak House in Amarillo
I have been to the Big Texan, and I can say from experience that they serve outstanding food. I had a 24 oz KC Strip that was like eating ambrosia.
I saw the 72 ounce steak. I was 34, and I almost ordered tried it. However, I had been driving all day with the family. It would have taken a good 5 or 6 mile run and workout to set me up for such power eating . . . back when I was 25.
So, I passed. No way I would try it now, as the metabolism has simply slowed down too much.
There is a trick to power eating. It involves stretching your stomach and burning a lot of fuel in preparation. We did it a few times when I was on the crew team in college, and the local Fass Brothers had Wednesday "All You Can Eat" seafood deal.
Tuesday morning, eat a whole lot of dry toast for breakfast. Work out at lunch. Get hungry. Tuesday night, eat loads of pasta/bread. Wednesday morning, early morning run, big carb/bloat breakfast. No Lunch. Heavy workout Wednesday afternoon. Make sure to "empty the plumbing" before dinner.
Initial condition: be starving, stomach stretched from two days of packing in filler.
All you can eat seafood? Did we ever. Pounds and pounds of crab, flounder, shrimp, trout, clams.
No need to eat Thursday morning, but don't forget the Alka Selzer before bed Wednesday night . . . and accept the next two days discomfort as the stomach shrinks and you go back to more normal habits.
Ah, the excesses of youth, when you are bulletproof and immortal. :rolleyes:
