World's Largest Chicken Fried Steak Dinner!

FORT WORTH, Texas - A Fort Worth restaurant is boasting the biggest, baddest breaded beef in the world: a four-pound slab of top round, that, after being coated in panko crumbs, deep fried and slathered in cream gravy, weighs about ten pounds and packs a whopping 10,000 calories.

The Cowtown Diner started serving the "Full O Bull" platter when it opened in January. Since then, the restaurant has dished up about 15 orders of the bovine behemoth complete with sides: six pounds of mashed potatoes and ten slices of Texas toast.

How many fat grams are packed in such a preposterous meal?

"We were afraid to calculate that," said Scott Jones, owner of the Cowtown Diner. "We also didn't want to figure out the Weight Watchers points."

So who eats this thing? According to Jones, just about everyone.

"Couples, groups of four," he said. "I had a table of six college guys try one the other night, and they had to take the rest home in a doggy bag."

If you're brave enough to tackle the $70 mammoth meal by yourself, you'll get it for free. You don't even have to eat it in a certain time limit. You just have to eat it all: steak, potatoes, gravy and toast.

So far, Jones said, no one has swallowed the challenge.

But everyone enjoys the spectacle. The "Full O Bull" must be ordered 24 hours in advance so the chefs can procure the special cut of beef. Preparation takes a full 45 minutes.

And everyone in the restaurant knows if you've ordered it: not only is the colossal cut of cow served on something resembling a pizza pan, its delivery to your table is accompanied by the entire wait staff parading through the restaurant with cowbells and musical triangles.

The Cowtown Diner is at 350 Main St. in downtown Fort Worth, Texas.

!!!Man!!!

Brother Paul,

I grew up in TEXAS, lived in Bedford/Hurst/Euless (next to Fort Worth) and later lived in Amarillo Texas home of the Big Texan Steak Ranch...where they had a similar deal where you had to eat the 72oz steak to get it for free

Well, being a native born Texan, I have to say that one of the things I truly miss is a good chicken fried steak...when you're raised on that, you really miss it!

I would LOVE this honker chicken fried steak...with about a 5 gallon jug o' Shiner Bock sitting next to it That is a true Texan dream-dinner

Peace,

MK

The Shiner is definitely a nice touch to add on top of it. On draft of course though

Yes, absolutely. Texans don't do small meals. Or small people, for that matter...

I've always liked chicken friend steak, and I'm from glorious Massachusetts. I did live in Texas for a year and a half and enjoyed many Shiners--although at the time (about 10 years ago), there was annoyance among the Texas natives that it had become somewhat trendy and thus more expensive. I'm not sure if this is still the case.

In my estimation, chicken fried steak is the most glorious combination of salt, pepper, animal protein, & fat on planet earth. Mmmmmm....

No, man. This is how we roll in Florida.

They ain't eatin' those type of meals, my friend. Therefore, they can't be real Texans.

^^ I wonder if they could finish the Full of Bull.

[Peikko 1,575]

4lbs of meat for 14 people seems reasonable, I bet those gals could finish one serving between them

[Empress of Groovy 373]

I bet those fit chicks are from like, Colorado or somethin'.

Wait a minute - 4.5 oz a pop is reasonable?
