It's inexpensive, consistent, and yet offers variety. As people get older, they treasure these things more and more.

Bonus points if it's close by, and/or not frequented by youthful troublemakers.

Rain Man 03-10-2014 08:40 PM

The key to a good buffet is having good food. Far too many buffets have terrible low-quality food. One can never be too careful.

As a minor story, I was in Dayton, Ohio, a few years back and had a hankerin' for Chinese food. There was a restaurant near the hotel, so I went over. It turned out to be the largest buffet outside North Korea.* We're talking acres of stuff. You want sushi? They had sushi. Barbecue? The ribs are over on that wing. Crab legs? Jello? Fried chicken? Tacos? Want a caesar salad? Cobb salad? Waldorf salad? Tuna salad? Chicken salad? If you wanted it, you could find it on that buffet.

When I went in, I was in shock at the size, and some old Chinese woman did the Lassie thing to lead me to a seat. There was no pricing anywhere - not a single sign or label in the place - and I was leery. But it was a huge restaurant and it was packed, so I decided that it must be a good deal. So I set my worries aside and had watermelon and dinner rolls and crab legs and broccoli with cheese and some chocolate cake for dessert. When I got my bill it was something like $15. I guess it was like Wal-Mart where they got price breaks from their suppliers due to their massive volume.


* - I'm assuming that Kim Jong Eun has a massive buffet where he eats every day.

Buffet is a code word for low quality food.

Old people, or people on a fixed income care about quantity. Generally speaking what people value on food depends on social class. For example poor people going to dinner at someone's house care first and foremost about how much food is there, will there be leftovers they can take home. Middle class people care mostly about how the food tastes. Upper class people care mostly about the presentation or the meal.

Mostly because of the people sneezing over the food etc.

What, do you imagine they do behind the scenes to your food before the waitress hauls it out to you? Or do you not eat out anywhere?

That's an interesting point. Maybe it's evolution. They flock to them to for the germs. Hoping to become immune. Or possibly speed along the death cycle

Exactly.

The reason buffets suck is because the food is cafeteria mass-produced crap.

Old Country Buffet is basically 3 rows of TV dinners.

Used to be really awesome but in its later years, went to shit.

They used to have some big names there IIRC. Rat Pack, etc. The food was good when I went there as a kid.

I always wanted to go there when I was a kid because I saw the commercials.

The commercials always had this kid with a chest full of fake gold coins and I thought they would have that there.

I was disappoint.

Love Chinese buffet, hate white people buffet.

White people buffet is all starchs to fill you up cheaply.

Mac and cheese, 8 other pastas, 7 versions of rice, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, bread everywhere, even the salisbury steak smothered in a goopy sauce.

blaise 03-11-2014 09:42 AM

Just for the record, as far as I know black people love buffet, too. I used to work in a plaza with an Old County Buffet and Sunday after church there would be a line 100 yards down the block of black people all dressed up in suits and hats and dresses.

ROFL

Absolute truth.

There's one of those here and if you go in there on Friday night, you get your pick of any of the actual Chinese dishes.

The place is at CAPACITY and every table has a 3-foot mound of broken crab legs.

They don't even touch the Chinese food.

Dayze 03-11-2014 09:51 AM

I'm not sure at what point this happened, but somewhere along the way my parents became in love with Golden Corral. They retired about 5 years ago or so; and since then, they rave about it. No idea why.

I'll call to check up on them, see what's going on etc, and my Dad will say something along the lines of "Oh, we're not up to much. Just doing things around the house. ohhh, I almost forgot, we did go to Golden Corral today"

Though, I can 'sort of' understand with them since they're on a fix income ........but still.

All those chain buffets are PURE GARBAGE!!!

99% of all Chinese buffets are CRAP with 1,000 gallons of MSG and American style Chinese food

There are only a few places to get truly good to great buffets:
  • Most newer Las Vegas casinos
  • Indian Buffets in places like Silicon Valley, Wash DC, and New York
  • Korean/Japanese style with sushi in places like Silicon Valley, Wash DC, and New York, very different and much better than Chinese
  • Many upscale Country Club Golf Courses

I've never seen a high quality buffet outside of these four types and don't confuse QUANTITY over QUALITY!

That's an interesting buffet spread I've never seen in my life.

I love all buffets if the spread is good, but in what world do you live where 'white people' buffets serve more variations of rice than a chinese buffet?

I was being a tad hyperbolic/ranty, but buffets, certainly the cheap ones, which is one of the attributes people are touting, do have inordinately more starches than an al a carte menu does.

It's economics, get you full fast and cheap.

BTW, we have an African Amercan buffet here that is only open on weekends. BBQ and Soul Food, all family recipes. They put it on your plate, but it's still a line of dishes and all you can eat. Freaking awesome eats.
