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.
