One of the best ones was in norcal that I ate a couple years ago, I believe it was called High Steaks. I asked the waiter how big was the prime rib and he said it was approximately 20 ounces and he could tell I was disappointed even though I placed the order. He then wanted to surprise me and came out with a 44 ounce prime rib. I ate the whole thing in 15 minutes, so delicious!

I'm not really picky on the type of cut, when I arrive at the restaurant, I'm just hungry.

I think 20 ounce was the biggest prime rib I've ever eaten.. but the fixins were piled high, and all you can eat.. so I walked away satisfied..
Did your prime rib, come with any fixins?

I generally like to have a steak, rack of ribs, and prime rib all once every two weeks..
Sounds like you can wolf down some meat.. I generally can handle a nice steak.. but lots of vegetables need to be there to help with my digestion..

Being 140lbs and my co-workers constantly asking, "Where do you put it all?" never gets old.

2 co-workers and I went there a couple of months ago when working in Amarillo. Not for the challenge, just to see it and hopefully have a decent steak. Among the worst any of us has ever had. Logan's Roadhouse $13. sirloin is light years ahead. The place seats over 500, and there is always a wait for dinner, so you'd think they would have cooked enough meat to figure it out.

For those that are interested in such things .... she didn't know how to "complete" the steak ..... neverthteless her first attempt at sous vide steak ...
It'll take 24 hours to cook and look like leather. But could this be the best steak you'll ever eat?

As for the sous-vide steak? Well, it still looks like the sole of a battered old boot.
Then I taste — and find myself having to eat my words. Flavour explodes from the unattractive sous-vide steak. Tender, moist and mouth-watering,
I’ve never tasted meat like it. Suddenly the 24-hour wait seems worth every second.
By comparison my pan-fried steak, pretty as it is, is chewy and bland. And I am not the only convert to this new way of cooking.
