Yes, I ate there during a business trip to the Amarillo area about 25-30 years ago. But I did not try to eat the monster sized steak!

Yes, I was stuck on a Boeing 777 which diverted to Albany. But it was the middle of the night and they didn't have a high enough jet bridge so we couldn't get off of the aircraft.

Yes, sort of twice.
During the winter holidays, right after it turned into 1999, (probably January 2, 1999) after visiting some relatives in NYC and vicinity, we set to drive back to Detroit. We were advised by our relative to go through Canada because "lake effect" makes it for better weather north of the lake. So we drove all the way across NY state till we almost got to Niagara Falls, but when we got close to Batavia it started snowing, so we found a motel there and settled for the night. On the weather channel we saw that there was snow emergency in Buffalo and around it, so the next morning I said "let's go see what this snow emergency is all about". So we got on the freeway to Buffalo and all was fine (and the road very salty). Then we got off the freeway ramp and slided on ice. Luckily it ended OK and didn't get stuck and then proceeded slowly on the highway along the Niagara river to Niagara Falls, and I must say snow emergency is beautiful, especially when you get close to the falls.
The second time was about 5 months later for a conference organized by the AMS in Buffalo.

I have been to several amusement parks, but not many. One of them was Legoland on the way from Munich to Karlsruhe (Günzburg, Germany). Two others were Disneyland (Anaheim) and Disney California.
