Monday Rant: Buffet Restaurants

skypilot said:
A new Italian Buffet opened near me recently so I thought I'd try it out for lunch. Big mistake. Price was very reasonable, but food was just barely acceptable. The one thing I noticed was that all the really fat women who are normally in the fast food drive thru's (the ones who get the jumbo drinks, make sure they have loads of condiments, and are usually smoking a cigarette while they are ordering) were at this buffet with their kids. It was mayhem. I was in the pizza line when one of them bumped me out of the way with her fat ass. It was one of those asses that are so big it looked like there was a shelf between the top of her ass and her back that was big enough to put a set of encyclopedias on.
Generally I find that most buffet restaraunts suck. I have found some good Chinese ones though.

BBW all over the place?
 
There is a truck stop buffet off the 401 around London. The food is pretty much 100% fat, fried chicken, deep-fried everything, even the vegetables were all dripping with butter. I was too hungry to care. Great looking customers too.

I love those buffet restaurants in Tennessee and Alabama. The serving spoon for the mashed potatos is like a snow shovel. And then the track pants wearing oversized locals manage to carry 2 plates plus balancing a chocolate pudding bowl at the same time. What a sight.

I would never open a buffet in the south, you'd go bankrupt in 3 months.:D
Especially if the whole basketball or foodball team shows up. Talk about southern hospitality.

Have you ever had the Prime Rib at the Mandarin , I have eaten at very expensive restaurants and I know good food from bad and there Roast is excellent in my opinion . If you haven't had the Prime rib you can't call buffet food crap .
It really depends how long it's been under the heat lamp. It's YMMV. Of course, you don't expect to compare it with the Old Ed's. I need more horseradish...
