Man v. Food host Casey Webb took on the Cowboy Showdown Challenge at Deadwood Legends Steakhouse, working through a four-pound plate -- a 16-ounce buffalo ribeye plus six sides -- inside a 30-minute window, according to the show's own promotional description of the episode. The steakhouse operates inside the historic Franklin Hotel, part of the Silverado-Franklin Historic Hotel and Gaming complex in downtown Deadwood, and serves hand-cut, 28-day-aged Certified Angus Beef steaks, according to the hotel's own website. Since the March 2020 episode aired, the restaurant has kept a high profile in local dining coverage: Tripadvisor's aggregated visitor ratings placed it as the top-ranked restaurant among more than 40 Deadwood dining options, and Yelp's page, last updated in September 2026, listed more than 300 reviews, with recent diners praising the steaks and service while a handful described inconsistent cooking temperatures and wait times, according to that listing.
