John Wayne, known as the quintessential cowboy, rose to fame in the 1940s and 1950s as the iconic figurehead of the Wild West. He enjoyed a variety of foods, including steak, bourbon, and a 136-foot yacht. While he was away from acting, he also had a deep-rooted taste for finer things like reading books and spending time with family on his ranch. His favorite steak was a massive, bone-in ribeye, also known as "cowboy steak," which he cooked in a particular way. Despite his fame as a cowboy, he was also a connoisseur of the spirit, particularly fond of Wild Turkey. His son, Ethan Wayne, had control of the estate after his father passed away and discovered four unlabeled bottles of whisky from his father's vast liquor collection.
