The must-try legend

The Big Texan Steak Ranch has been an Amarillo icon since 1960. It's home of the famous 72-ounce steak challenge — finish the whole meal in an hour and it's free — plus a full menu, an on-site brewery, and its own motel.

Local favorites

Youngblood's Cafe serves Texas comfort food from a CIA-trained chef and has been featured on Man vs. Food. Think chicken-fried steak, burgers, and hearty breakfasts.

Coyote Bluff Cafe has been slinging hand-built burgers since 1994. Its notorious "Burger From Hell" earned a national spotlight on Man vs. Food — order it if you dare.
