The 72 oz Steak Rules
The meal consists of Shrimp Cocktail, Baked Potato, Salad, with Roll, Butter, and of course the 72 oz. Steak
  1. The entire meal must be completed in one hour. If any of the meal is not consumed (swallowed)…YOU LOSE!
  2. Before the time starts, you will be allowed to cut into the steak, and take one bite. If the steak tastes good and is cooked to your satisfaction, we will start the time upon your acceptable approval. The time will not stop, and the contest is on, so make SURE before you say “yes.”​
  3. Once you have started you are not allowed to stand up, leave your table, or have anyone else TOUCH the meal.​
  4. You will be disqualified if anyone assists you in cutting, preparing or eating your meal. This is YOUR contest.​
  5. You don’t have to eat the fat, but we will judge this.​
  6. Should you become ill, the contest is over… YOU LOSE! (Please use the container provided as necessary.)​
  7. You are required to pay the full amount up front; if you win we will refund 100%.​
  8. You must sit at a table that we assign.​
  9. If you do not win the steak challenge, you are welcome to take the leftovers with you.​
  10. No consumption or sharing of the leftovers is allowed in the restaurant once the contest is over.​
  11. If you fail to complete the challenge, you must pay the full $72 (today’s price) dollars.​

Looks like he’s making good progress. Everytime I pass through there I want to stop in when I see the billboards.

We were just there a couple weeks back and went in. It was 11 in the morning on a Thursday and it was packed. We just went in to look around the place. It's huge, dining below and up top.

They have a rv park in the back, we spent a night on our way to Nashville. Limo with horns on it comes and picks you up to take you over to the restaurant, and yeah the place is huge. Really good rib eye and ribs.

Been to that place. Worse part is, they put you on an elevated table in the middle so everyone can watch you. I don’t know how Darryl got talked into that.
