After a slight lull in entries for the 2016 Travel Story Competition, it is great to welcome back Lin Middleton with her second entry.
Lin, and her husband Ken, have recently been travelling in the USA and her highlight is therefore Texas themed. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

“How much meat?!”
“A 72oz steak , baked potato, salad, shrimp cocktail, bread roll” Ken replied.
We were at the Big Texan Restaurant, Amarillo – home of the 72oz steak challenge.
People sat at the table. An hour to eat their meal. One man remained with just one more forkful. He gave in. His green pallor told his story.
Others tried, only to be defeated. We weren’t going to see anyone win the battle tonight.
“A woman holds the record, eating three steaks in 20 minutes” said Ken.
“No way!”
“That's more than 13lbs of meat!”, Ken replied, reading my thoughts.
