Hilltop Steak House provides a very mooving site
for drivers on Route One in Saugus. A herd of
cows are gathered below what can only be the largest
light up cactus in New England.
The most famous bovine is Ferdi. In 1981 Ferdi
was found grazing atop the Great Dome at MIT in Boston.
It is fondly remembered at the MIT Museum's Hall
of Hacks along side the history of smoots.
The stunt, which first infuriated Hilltop management, would
become great meat marketing.
Hilltop serves six tons of salad a week.

"We got inundated with people who came to see the place where it was missing. I've been here
24 years, and that incident still comes up often," says the company's vice president.
Inside, cowpokes can wrestle up some
grub in either the Carson City or Virginia City rooms of the
restaurant. Hilltop's "Chuck Wagon" is always available to bring the
feed bags to your next hoedown.
