The Buffet Strategy Thread

I went to one of my russian buddies shotgun wedding’s years ago. His wedding party was all homemade cognac and vodka, and a never ending supply of crazy good foods. Steaks, shrimps, pimp shishkabobs, etc. I discovered that day that enough alcohol (don’t challenge a spetsnaz to a drinking contest) can destroy whatever attempts a buffet can muster to attempt to hold of you getting blotto. The last thing I remembered was 930pm in Toronto, then I woke up still drunk at 330pm the next day in Montreal.

And very fucking confused.

I seem to sense a fascination with Asian buffets here. Probably shouldn’t be surprised.

I can’t mess with Asian food, unless you consider bourbon chicken, and spicy chicken (the kind thats peppery and garlicky)Chinese food, which it probably isn’t, and in most places, I even doubt it’s chicken. Either way my “Asian” food order always amounts to one of the two, or both on a pile of steamed rice with light vegetables. Japanese, Thai, ect, look even less appetizing.

I would be that guy getting pizza in an Asian buffet.

This was on my feed this morning.

Greedy fucks always steal the fresh crab, every time.

What I’m wondering is why there aren’t 24 hour Chinese restaurants all the over the place. There is no reason for Taco Bell to have a monopoly on the 1am stoner demographic.

Stoners with yellow food fever just needs to come over here. They exist.

When they started legalizing weed cafe’s where I live, I really wanted to open a buffet near the big ones, and just cackle with glee. Stoners spend money frivolously, that shit would go hand in hand.

Me and my friend want to open a 24-hour pho joint.

That shit is necessary after a night out drinkin. :tup:

What are the best buffets in vegas? Im going IN during Evo!

Casino in the Poconos - $17.99

  • Futomaki rolls - The local place charges $11 for these rolls, and they’re about 75% of the size of the ones at the casino.
  • Lobster Bisque Soup - Soup is mostly low tier, but this soup… Had a fucking lobster tail in it. Yeah, lobster bisque and the guy behind the counter gave you a lobster tail with it.
  • Lamb Burgers - back when I ate meat… These were godlike.
  • Filet Mignon - They were sliced open and had jumbo shrimp hanging out in the slits. Godlike.

I wanna make pho for supermarkets. How hard is it to take broth, a package of noodles, a package of meats, and a package of fixings (bean sprouts, veggies, etc), put em in a box, then include easy ass instructions. Just heat the broth up, pour it over the other stuff, then wait like 5 mins and enjoy. Would annihilate fucking ramen.

Dehydrated meat is shitty, that’s the only thing. Unless it’s refrigerated. :tup:

I would just freeze it :stuck_out_tongue:

anywho, how should i dress when taking on a buffet? What do I do if I am not properly attired (ie-wearing khaki’s, tight leather pants, thongs, etc)???

microwavable/instant pho of that nature would cost more than real pho from a stand/restaurant.

you should try chinese or korean brands of ramen/udon that give you sesame oil packets, multiple veggie packs, dehydrated eggs, etc…

Thongs?

Only the Olsen twins could wear a thong to a buffet and get away with it. And they could probably fit into just one.

good luck making quality broth

Oh I agree, but Dellisio pizza costs more than pizzeria costs, and that shit still sells. Sometimes you just need to eat something at home, and don’t have the time to get out.

So long as it’s decent, it’ll sell.

There was this shit udon cup that I bought in the states 2 years ago. I don’t even remember the brand. I think I blotted it out of my mind permanently because of how shitty it was.

Korean branded is good. Never had a gripe with any of them.

EDIT: God, this thread’s reminding me that it’s been a while since I’ve had pho. That needs to change.

Cold drinks contract your stomach meaning the max volume of food and beverage you can hold goes down. That’s precisely why they serve iced water. If you want to eat the most, drink less water.
