Thank you fir your reference to Big Tex

First time I ver had their product was Paraparaumu early 1970s

I don’t remember the food ,as I was 9 - 10 years old

Remember the site falling into disrepair

Do remember in later years attending Foxton.

Go to burger for me was “Super Chuckwagon”

Big Tex was way ahead of KFC /Macdonalds.

The food was pure deliciousness & the memory is ingrained .

Thank you for mentioning it

Apparent the cowboy sign from one of the Big Tex’s was at Chevies Dixon st Wellington until early 2000s

That is the only tangible photo I found by googling

It was similar to the Keans Jeans cowboy

Main difference is Keans cowboy was twirling a rope
