icon, Texas version

Last year when my good friends from New England made their inaugural visit to West Texas, I decided that one of the things we had to do was to stop at the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Then I doubled down on that plan and we also spent the night next door at the Big Texan Motel. Both places were equally kitschy, which was of course the point of our visiting them.

“So, I was drivin’ up through that Big Texan place and I swear there was a gal practically LAYING DOWN in a puddle. And she was holdin’ a camera, too. It’s the gol-darn truth. Mebbe she had one a them sunstrokes or sumpthin.” -this guy to his buddies
