The Chuck Wagon is the last of the great all-you-can-eaters, with the juiciest everything in town. We hadn't eaten all day, and spent a solid, lusting, bestial two hours going back for more and more food. After sitting around the table for a while to tell each other how much money the restaurant lost on us, we waddled off to the car and headed for Los Angeles...
