Amarillo is the home of the Big Texan where a 72 oz steak is free if you can eat it all in one hour. We didn't try but others have and succeeded. Don't remember what it cost if you couldn't finish.
So not a bad place to get stuck.

It costs $72.00 paid in advance. You receive a refund if you complete the challenge. However, why on God's Green Earth would anyone do this and why has this ordinary steak house become famous for it? There's nothing like gimmick marketing. The food is nothing special and certainly not worth a detour.
