Bv)= The only steak place I have eaten in Texas is the "Big Texan" just off of Route 66 (now I-40) where the offer a "free 72 oz steak" (4 1/2 lb roast cooked on the grilll). To get it free you must finish it in one sitting along with the baked potato and side salad. I managed it. But an hour or so further west I was getting hungry again. Seems all that food got my stomach stretched out of shapen and when it passed on down the line it left an rmpty feeling.

Discontinued that with covid, brought in RH> bagged peanuts (shells go into buckets) only a couple of years ago. We used to have a chain place called "The Ground Round" a family casual place that offered the p-nut shells on the floor deal. The chain, a part of the Howard Johnson's family went bust in 2004. Our local store is now "The Dublin Pub" with not an Irishman in sight.
