BBC on the Big Texan
The BBC’s website has an article about the 72 ounce steak challenge served at the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo, Texas:
Americans, of course, are not completely insensitive to those global challenges, and they are not entirely immune to the effects of them either. But it certainly doesn’t look as though the appeal of the steak challenge is flagging. This year has been one of endless bad news for the American economy but the challenge is more popular now than it was last year.
The American appetite for escapism, here at least, outweighs any moral squeamishness people might feel at this grotesque, but compelling, display of excess.
