Wyoming is known for a whole lot of things – cowboys, geysers, stunning mountain scenery – but one thing that often gets overlooked is our food! Locals know that the best steaks on the planet are served in our small steakhouses and saloons, and the Cowboy State might as well be the Carnivore State.
