You forgot shrimp. Don’t ever forget shrimp again. You also forgot rabbit.
Sure, most chinese buffets I go to have that low tier Chicken Ball nonsense, but they still have good food as well. You get like Beef and veggies, crazy noodle dishes, and most of the ones near me have a make your own stirfry.
i be camping in buffets like Call of Duty … in order to eat as much as possible, eat as quickly as possible…
From the moment you put something in your mouth, it takes 15 mins for your body to send that “I’m full” signal to your brain… so have everything you plan on eating in front of you, don’t get one plate at a time… if you eat a little bit of something and wait 15-20 mins, you’ll be full, realistically you don’t need to eat much to get full as long as you DON’t eat it quickly, but if the goal is eating alot then eat quickly…
Also waiters refill your drinks with the quickness, but it’s a trap, your stomach holds less liquid than you think (I think you can down 2 pints every 30 mins at the most). so you’ll think you’re full till you walk out and be like “FUCK! :mad:”, two glasses and you’re down for the count like Dudley in 3rd Strike…
After you eat that 15 minutes worth of plates, then you just keep grabbing more food OR play the waiting game and wait till they put the best/different food out…
One day I decided to sit a buffet for 3 hours and see how much I could eat at a Chinese Food Buffet, them niggas(well the people running the show) were giving me these eyes O.O’ …
Back in the 90’s we’d do this thing were a couple of guys would hold our table while the rest would go around the mall and maybe hit up the arcade. Harder to do these days though since not every mall has an arcade nowadays.
I use to be a connoisseur of fine buffets in my day. LOL!! But int he past few years I haven’t been going to them like I use to for the simple fact that buffets been popping up like liquor stores in the hood. The last one I went to, which was a couple of months ago, was a chinese one and it left a lasting impression on me. I had gas and loose bowels for 24 hours. Thank the Lord I have leather seats in my car. When I do go to buffets I usually try to stick with the “american” ones since I don’t get the same effects as the chinese ones.
I go to three buffets and have different strategies for each…
General strategy:
Drink 32oz of water 1hr before beginning. I take a massive piss, and sometimes a shit before going and can load up more food. It also prevents me from getting constipated.
Chinese buffets:
Look for anything with shrimp, get as much of the shrimp as I can and as little of the additions (e.g. fried rice, lo mein, chow fun, etc) as I can.
Look for anything fish that doesn’t look like I’ll need a stomach pump afterwards.
Look for shit like Tempura or other exotic things.
Grab Chinese dessert. Ice cream = I can get that anywhere, and IDGAF.
Indian buffets:
Grab a plate full of naan (not to eat yet) and whatever expensive curries they might have out.
Put naan in my backpack.
Grab more naan with plate #2 and so on so forth.
Repeat step 2, and so on so forth.
Beast on the gulab jamun.
Enjoy naan with my eggs for breakfast the next day.
Sushi buffets:
Finish all of the salmon I can.
Two tips:
Don’t go for jell-o. Little kids play with and poke that shit on the table, so you could be digesting some little kid’s spit.
If there’s free drinks, don’t get soda. Water digests faster and once you piss, you’re good to go again. If it’s Asian and it’s free green tea, drink it. Helps you digest rather quickly.
My general buffet strategy is to avoid them completely. However, the only buffet we have in town is a newly open Golden Corral. The parking lot is so full all the time that people have to park across the highway in the parking lot of a mall. When I drive by on my way home from work I get to watch these behemoth humans make the pilgrimage over the highway on the way to their Mecca.
The two places I usually go to (and “usually” meaning my 1x buffet limit per month), close from 3-3:30 so you can’t stagger and swipe dinner for the lunch price.
Since I live in the DC metro area, the best place for me is The Great American Buffet. I noticed going to a buffet on a monday-thursday night is the best option for this place.
I started putting an all fruit plate buffer between either plates 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
French fries are there for little kids and suckers.
Also waiting for food depends on what it is and where you are, but it usually seems to be seafood related. Last month people formed a separate line for jumbo shrimp and they were waiting 10-15 minutes for the tray to get refilled.
You want to stake everything out on the first pass through and make sure you know the location of the good stuff if its low or out so that you can spot when someone is refilling it from your seat.
Protip: Make sure you can see the food being refilled from your seat. Sitting with your back turned to the food is a rookie mistake. There are buffet snipers waiting for those crabs and if you are staring at random wall art or spaced out listening to Chinese elevator music during your window then you stand no chance against the merciless overweight lady 5 tables down who will show no hesitation at the first sign of a refill.
