Actually, part of Colorado used to be Texas! We were generous and gave land to beef up that tiny state.

Good comeback!

So how big of a steak can you get at the local steakhouse?

Hrmmm... I'm not entirely sure... I had a little 10oz filet mignon 2 weeks ago at Pappas Bros Steakhouse and it cost me $42, so I think I may be on a fund-induced diet of good steak for now. ;)

#29 ... The Pappas family chains are here in force! Right down the street is a square of restaurants that features Pappadeaux's, Pappasitos (my fav), Pappas BBQ and Pappas Bro's Steakhouse! All are VERY good and VERY different. :D

A friend of mine once stated that "They grab it by the horns, slap it on the face, and throw it on the grill." :lol:

So I imagine you can get any size steak you would like.

I have been to Pappadeaux's AND Pappasitos and I can vouch for the food being very good as well. :D

Was that in CA? I have seen them in TN, so I assume they are elsewhere too.

I love Pappasitos for the food and environment. I have never had anything there I didn't like.

Bills Website under the Pig Farm Tab wrote:
="Bill's Website under the 'Pig Farm Tab'"]Here at Bill's, we grow our own hogs on our own farm. 450 to 500 sows are serviced with 26 boars, enabling us to control the quality of meat. This ensures the best pork product that anyone can serve.

Bill's cooks whole hogs over hickory coals, with gas heat from above, on specially designed cookers that Bill designed and had custom built. Some 15 of these large cookers can easily produce more than 100 cooked hogs on a given day as needed for Bill's catering operation.

Doesn't sound like Bill has quite the piggy-production level to support a nation-wide chain. But he has enough cookers to roast up 1/5 of his pig-herd in a single day! :D

Oops, sorry. No. That was while I was on a business trip in Austin.

I thought I remembered a 54 oz one the last time I was in Ft Worth but it has been a while.

#30 The great State Fair of Texas. The best State Fair in all the U.S. imo that also happens to host the greatest rivalry between our Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners.

#31 The Texas Rangers (well for me at least, my fav team)

People told me to check out Mt. Bonnell. So I did. I had my hand held GPS with me which shows how many feet above sea level you are.
Ready for this? It was a grand 716 feet above sea level.
That doesn't even rate as a foothill here in California.  :p

I always thought Mt. Bonnell was taller than that. Where I live, I'm 1173 ft. above sea level.
