Bone in rib eye is my steak of choice, and if they make it mediocre, they get a verbal raping. (I only order prime rib if that is THEIR thing)
If we end up going that way, we'll probably share a prime rib and a rib eye

I'll keep you guys posted if we end up going that way

Anything you recommend? I may be a fat ***, but god knows I can't compete in their challenge, lol
Meh. When I drove to texas I went there... Their steak was honestly too fatty for me. I don't really like fatty steaks. I got the 32 ounce one and finished all the meat part but tons of fat left over =(

That extra fat is what makes the steak moist and juicy.

FW is REALLY redneck, Houston is ghetto as fùck (yes it has it's nice parts)
And Austin is CA Jr.

I'm a New Yorker and a strong critic of certain narrow-mindedness in Tx. That said, I wouldn't call Fort Worth as much Redneck as much as I call it traditional. Forney,White Settlement, Granbury is redneck.

Well the other way to get that is by getting your stakes really rare. That is what I usually do but then the fat like isn't really cooked and its just gross at that place so I had to have them cook it more than I normally would have liked.

I am a steak fiend. I usually go to outback steak house at least once a week. I always tell them to cook it 1 minute on each side =)

Honestly a bit of fat doesn't bug me but the amount of fat on those steaks was just ridiculous.

I am glad I went so I can atleast say I have gone there. I didnt go there on the way back although I did stop at an outback steak house in Albuquerque NM.

Downtown FW tripped me out that EVERYONE was out in cowboy boots with their hats, jeans, line dancing at the bars, smoking in the bars, lol
I had the ONLY Japanese car in sight when I went to The Lonesome Dove, LOL

I updated the first post.
I'm going to update this with LOLs I find along the way

First Toyota's truck pulls a 292,500 lb space shuttle over a bridge...
THEN:




Damn this is pulling TWO at 90MPH!

Friend told us to go to Cattleman's Steakhouse outside El Paso...
This is a Yelp review:



I think this guy REALLY liked the steak

LOL from FB:
