Last week we went to Bartlesville, OK, Amarillo, TX, and Albuquerque (the hardest word to spell!), NM. The whole week we were singing George Strait's Amarillo by Morning, one of the best country songs of all time. It also reminded John of the English comedian Peter Kay's Amarillo. Amarillo is home to the Big Texan. It is a restaurant that has been featured on lots of TV shows. They have a steak challenge. If you can eat a 72 ounce (4 1/2 pound) of sirloin steak, a baked potato, salad, dinner roll, and shrimp cocktail in 1 hour, you get the dinner free. Their website http://www.bigtexan.com/ is entertaining. Amarillo is also home to the Cadillac Ranch. We didnt see it, but I just researched it and it is located on Interstate 40 between exits 60 and 62. I must imprint that on my brain so I dont miss it next time.
