I remember the Big Texan Steak house when it was just a quaint little
restaurant on Route (I 40) 66. Their specialty of the house was Steak but
they always served you Cowboy Stew with Hot Cornbread... Cool place to
go... It burned to the ground in the middle to late 70's and thus the new
Big Texan steak house emerged...
The Cadillac ranch was moved west about 20 years ago.

You're right, the Big Texan was cool before it became a tourist trap.

Somewhere in New Mexico, maybe near Gallup and on 66 of course, was a
house that was converted into a restaurant. It was the first place I got to
order a steak! It was a sirloin for about $2, with all the trimmings of
course. I don't think I ever knew the name of it. We ate there a few times
before I-40. Dad would pull up and we'd all get out.
