duck ravioli from the wicked spoon in vegas was pretty good
Every buffet up here is abysmal, except for the Pizza Hut lunch buffet, which consists of a more mediocre version of their regular pizza. That said, it is kind of awesome.
My strategy is this: I weigh 173lbs at 5’10". Ten years ago, I was 215. I’m still fat on the inside, and I never forget where I came from.
Best thing at a buffet…I honestly can’t remember. But notable mentions would be this jambalaya (spelling?) I had at one last year, loads of crawfish at a local one, and the gelato bar at the Cosmopolitan. I was more so amazed the fact that they had ice cream that wasn’t shit lol.
Bacon wrapped steak at a brazilian steakhouse… Which technically is a buffet. An amazing buffet of meat in yo mouf.
I spend over $100 on buffet and those links are so godlike and is it really so cheap?
I would say the make your own pasta or stirfry has been the best thing I have ever had at a buffet. Out of the every man for himself section, I’ve had some fucking amazing oysters and the afforementioned plate of only mushrooms. These mushrooms were fucking godlike. Sauteed in wine and herbs, they were just magnificent.
I had a ravioli lasagna from Tucker’s Marketplace once and that was hella amazing too.
How you spending 100 bucks on a buffet? It costs me like 15-30 bucks depending on day of the week I go for dinner, and I get huge ass options, and then another 10-15 on drinks. 10-15 for a tip and I am still well under 100. I’ve taken dates and it’s been under a hundred for the both of us and a nice tip and drinks.
That could have been me!
I blow people’s minds at buffets.
The staff look at me: “5’9…130 lbs at most. Yeah, we’re getting a raise pretty soon.”
2 hours later.
“WHEN’S THIS DUDE GOING TO LEAVE?! IS HE BULIMIC? JESUS CHRIST, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CLOSE SHOP NOW!”
+1 for the phili rolls. Those are delicous!
It’s only good down south, in the DMV it’s terribad
This reminds me R.I.P. To the black chef at golden dragon inn.
Orange chicken from there will never be the same 
lol i am 5’9" and about 200 lbs. If I don’t walk out of a buffet hurting, then I have failed
Bacchanal, for Vegas buffet. Pro tip for Vegas buffets, go in and pay for lunch prices but wait for dinner service to come out.
i really like pasta, so i always try and have a little bit of pasta on my plate at all times…but besides that, it’s all meat, preferably small pieces. i beeline it to the shrimp and salmon, chicken wings and sirloin fajitas.
@missingperson, speak for yourself, dude. korean sushi, on average, is terrible. i’ve never been to japan, but the sushi in the philippines and america crush most korean sushi. don’t get me wrong, there are some places that know what the fuck they’re doing, but most don’t and koreans love to fuck up otherwise great ideas by adding weird mayonnaises to stuff.
No, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I haven’t run into some garbage places. But, I’ve ran into some better ones for sure than anywhere I’ve been in China, save said Japanese buffet.
But I cannot, in any way, shape or form, fathom Filipino sushi doing anything except give me VDs. Period.
What strategy? I just go in there and mash buttons.

Mimosas in St Martin (Sonesta Maho hotel) breakfast buffet( IIRC, I’ve never had an alcoholic drink included in a buffet.)
Hummus in a UAE Hotel
Tandoori Chicken in India House Restaurant, Chicago downtown
Filet Mignon at Texas De Brazil
Peel and Eat shrimp in some Casino in Indiana
When it’s all you can drink alcohol it’s not a buffet, it’s a goddam blessing. Also, an open bar.

I need to relearn how to pace myself again, I don’t really kill as much of my plate as I used to.
The mission at a buffet is not to eat the most. It’s to get back your fucking money’s worth.
You gotta attack these mothafuckas where it hurts there pocket. Shrimp, steak, crab legs, prime rib. Anything expensive. Chicken is a good taste choice but the shit is cheap. Your not doing any damage. Its like you are an attack and the buffet is takin Iceman chip aka nothing. I basically view these niggas as thieves until I leave the fucking place. The hate can fuel you enough to keep going.
Stay away from soups. I know that clam chowder is tempting but I always think of it as not being a tasty seafood broth, but as the cold grits massa gave to Nanny Maybelle. The profit margin on soup is ridiculous. Don’t get baited. Salad? Nigga we are not rabbits, level your shit up. Bread? Oh you mean the yeast of Lucifer? That shit can live for eternity in the right conditions (aka blood sacrifices) why would you put that in your body?
Desserts vary. The last buffet I went to had a white chocolate fountain, belgian waffles, ice cream, strawberries. I advise you only attempt when you know for sure you earthed the beast.
Of course I don’t think of food this way when I leave the buffet. But I’ll be damned if those pieces of shit steal from me. I can vouch for Canadian buffets. They are by far the best in quality. I’ve yet to meet one in the states that compare.
Rock B and myself had some advanced Fogo D Strats in the lounge like two months ago.
TL:DR version?
RB -“VS don’t fill up on the sweet bread”
VS -“Guys, I ATE SO MUCH SWEET BREAD!”
There is only way to do this.
1- Fill up to as many plates as you can place on your table with everything shiny.
2- Sit down.
3- Release the waist belt.
