English restaurant offering 200-ounce steak challenge: 'We wanted to bring a bit of fun to the restaurant'
A restaurant, apparently in England, is offering a 200 oz dinner for 4, eat it all in an hour and it’s free.

quote:
A restaurant is serving up a massive steak which weighs more than a newborn baby lamb — and costs $250.

Cattlemans Steakhouse serves the 200-ounce monster along with garlic bread, fries, onion rings, mushrooms, tomatoes and cole slaw.

It is designed to be shared by four people, and any group which completes the meal within one hour gets it free of charge.

So far 10 groups have attempted it — but only two have finished it.


"Challenges seem to be all the rage, and we wanted to bring a bit of fun to the restaurant," said a spokesperson for Cattlemans.

"We don't get people doing it every night, but we've had a few."

The restaurant in Paignton, Devon, also has a $125 100-ounce steak challenge for one person, which has only been completed once.

"The 200-ounce challenge is very doable," said the spokesperson before admitting, "I've not tried it; I could never eat that amount of steak."

Anybody ever had a go at the Big Texan Steakhouse in Amarillio? 72 oz steak, cooked your way, baked potato, salad, shrimp cocktail, in an hour?




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Any way to shrink that photo down? It makes the type too small to read on my screen.

I don’t know that English beef would have the same qualities as found at Big Texan.

Pass. I wouldn't eat 1/4 of a 200 oz steak at a Texas steakhouse and you couldn't pay me to do it in England.

I spent 10 days in England last year which included eating at two London steakhouses and one of them was extremely expensive. The grade of meat wasn't very good at either, and only one could did a decent job of cooking it. I could make a killing there selling reverse seared prime grade steaks.

I like my steaks mid rare but that's way too rare for me. No way I could eat the meat in the center.

It might be OK if it's not cooked by an English cook. For the most part their cooking is horrible. Except the fish & chips. Otherwise I will stick to the ethnic restaurants while in England

About 50oz per person? I'm a little embarrassed to say that I could take that and probably a dessert depending on my mood that day.

Do you have to eat all the sides too?

I once ate steak at one of the best steak houses in London (according to my host). It wasn’t nearly as good as K-Bob’s in Raton, which is a low bar to set for a steak joint.

Ain’t no way I could eat 50oz of steak in England.

John Pinette would have taken the challenge.

To those who have commented on eating steaks in England, how is it that the steaks aren't tasty?

Seasoning?
The quality of beef?


Just curious.
