It is the steak dinner and all the trimmings (fat and/or gristle don't count). When I was teaching Census classes in 2000, there was a guy in one of the classes that had done it 4 times. He was not a big guy, either. He told me that the secret was to order it very well done. He was saying that it is because the extra moisture takes up more space. Guess there must have been something to it because he didn't order it very well the first time he ever tried and he couldn't finish it. Don't think I'll be ordering one either way any time we go back to Texas for a visit. Do the math....that's like eating a 4.5 roast beef complete dinner. Kudos to you for trying, though!
