Relocating to Amarillo

[stormtracker]

I am considering relocating from the D/FW area to Amarillo. What is the market like there, and is it saturated like here?

Isn't that place with the 72 ounce steak in Amarillo?

ANy area is what you make it. Find a niche and work it.

It's called the Big Texan. I sure hope tumbleweeds need coverage...

Big Texan Free 72oz steak

Yeah! I tried to eat that thing once. Didn't quite make it, but I still have the t-shirt. You can watch people try and eat it on the webcam.

I'd market away from there - nothing but high cholesterol for a twenty mile radius, I'd bet.

Are you suggesting guaranteed-issue territory? Problem with the 72 oz'er, you have to eat EVERYTHING-- salad, baked potato and roll...

Does stomach rupture count as a self-inflicted ailment or injury?

It would come under the suicide clause during the first two years... I read that the record for consuming that entire feast was just over 8 minutes-- you can see it on the website.

When I tried it, it was:

72oz steak

Roll

Baked potato

Salad

Shrimp cocktail

I got through all the side dishes and 63 ounces of the steak in 45 minutes. Then...

Well, I didn't finish. They try to trick you, you know - when you first come in there's a display of a "sample steak" sitting by the door to show you what you'll be facing if you try. That thing is about half the size of the true steak.

Why?

I grew up in that area and it feels like the middle of nowhere...
