It's obvious this place is a huge tourist trap. But it's actually a fun and tasty tourist trap. The best way I know to describe it (and only my Houstonian readers will get this) it's like the Gallery Furniture of restaurants. It's huge! It has also expanded to include a hotel and a "horse hotel". Bonus for me...it was decorated for Christmas!
JR was beyond excited when we sat down and discovered this on the menu.
Harry and Jason decided to go with the Man Vs Food tribute (JR would have had a conniption fit if they hadn't) which is the same as the challenge except the steak is only 1/4 the size.
And what does all this food look like?
Salad.
"Shrimp Cocktail". (Yes, I'm very much aware those are fried shrimp, but on the episode Adam refers to them as 'shrimp cocktail', and if Adam says they're shrimp cocktail, then JR says they're shrimp cocktail!)
Steak (but only 18 oz.)
Baked potato (oops, not pictured.)
Also included, dinner rolls almost as big as Kyle's head. (They were delicious!)
JR wanted to have his own Man Vs Food challenge and ordered the kid's steak. He was so excited he didn't even mind that there was a piece of garnish on his plate. (And you know that means he was beyond excited since under normal circumstances any sort of green colored food on or near his plate would render the rest of the food inedible.)
And with a celebratory jump and squeal, JR finished off his steak. In this battle of JR vs Food, JR won!
He then enjoyed another dinner roll (3 total). Check out that clean plate...with the garnish still there...He didn't even make us take it off! Do you think Adam Richmond would mind joining us for dinner every night? Sigh...

Wonderful pictures - after all the food over Thanksgiving, how could you all find room for all that food. Looks like everyone truly enjoyed.

Oh man, Jerome is going to be so excited. JR needs to come over & watch M vs F with him, cause I won't! Tell him I'm proud of him for eating all that lovely meat!
I've seen that show and it cracks me up. It seems like food always wins...But go JR for beating food! I love that!
