    Theorists, what you are about to see is from the Food Theory vault. It is an episode that was almost never aired, due to the events of last year. Remember buffets? The all you can eat experience of piling your plate so high with crab legs, various meat, and desserts? I wanted to figure out how to get the best bang for your buck at ANY buffet. I did the research, live and in person before everything shut down. The buffet we went to does not even EXIST anymore! Yet,I knew the knowledge we gained was worth sharing so that you too could beat the buffet.

    If you want to hurt them, take a group of pre-teens. My nephew and his lacrosse team ate everything, including the fake parsley in the ice display.

      One Way buffets recoup their money is through the soft drinks. Because it fills you up & cost like $.03 worth of syrup to make one drink. Each of these kids can drink a gallon of soda. And my girlfriend pounding Diet Coke like it's going out of style. Slowed them down not at all.

    I've had several occasions where the staff looked in disgust as I stacked my plate with 50-60 pieces of sushi (which I always finish) and have once had a hostess suggest other food options when she realized that I was only going to ask for sushi rolls, and I firmly declined and ate 11 rolls total.

      "Hello, yes, I have iron deficiency anemia and that lovely steak you have there is just packed full of that glorious iron I need to stay alive. Thank you 😋" Having a medical condition that requires you to eat the more expensive food and skip the cheap food is always real nice while at a buffet. Especially when I pull out the fact that my doctor literally tells me to eat as much iron-rich meat as possible. Lol

      I believe it being the same amount of sugar that is a false generalization of all 'zero sugar/diet' drinks. Its keeping note of ingredients and what it converts to in the body. A good amount of them do not have sugars in the sense of normal sodas. I have lost plenty weight substituting it from the high fructose loaded sodas I loaded on as a teen. At the end of the day everyone should be aware of whats in what they drink or eat.

    My family went for Mother's Day Brunch Buffet every year, and we definitely had a system. The most important part was a scouting mission. That's when you went up for the first time, not to fill your plate, but to see what was there, and report your findings to the rest of the table. On that scout trip, you would also grab small portions of a lot of different things. Then, once you knew what was good, you could get bigger helpings of those specific things.

    Well here in germany we usually only have chinese all you can eat and it's often stuffed with 20 variants of rice and noodle dishes, veggy sushi and fried chicken waste. The expensive duck meat is very limited and the serving container is also stuffed with lots of bean sprouts and veggies. At the end you pay 15-40€ (depending on the restaurant and day/time) for essentially just really cheap food. When we go to our local asian gourmet temple I always try to only take a little of the noddles and lots of the expensive meats topped with some sauce so it goes down better. After those feasts it's usually enough of food for the next 2 days.

    One time in 1986 at the now-defunct King's Table Buffet in Moscow, Idaho, I visibly ate so much (because instead of making endless trips, I would get all that I could eat at once, because i knew how much I could eat) that the restaurant manager actually came to my table and asked me to put some of the dishes back. As that sounded like a health code violation - and because I was, you know, hungry - I just stared at him incredulously until he sheepishly walked away.
    It's one of the highlights of my entire life.

    I hope everyone in this comment section can have the experience of the buffet at Rio Steakhouse. Flipping the script of the "meat bouncer", the staff there brings the meat to you. Each seating has a card that you can flip, revealing the red side, to indicate that you need a break from the meat. And the twist: if it's a reasonably quiet day, and you don't make use of that card, the staff will most likely serve you meat faster than you can eat it.

    I was actually the "meat bouncer" (actually a specialty cook) for 4 years... There wasn't any boss telling me to do or don't do.. anything. You can come and get as much meat as you want, at the end of the day, we weren't thinking about you at all, also we weren't allowed to refuse the customer of another slice. I actually used to pre-slice them so anyone could have as much as they want. My boss never told me I wasn't allowed to do it. I worked at a local buffet though, this might not be the same elsewhere, but I actually enjoyed when people came to my specialty bar because I am the one who cooked the steaks and ribs and I always got compliments for my cooking which made me smile instead of being overbearingly grumpy like most of all my coworkers there.

      My dad was a "meat bouncer" as well (carving station, cook 1) at a casino buffet. He was told give a person a certain amount initially but if they asked for more, then give them more. He'd also precut the meat and was only discouraged by a higher up who just didn't like him. My dad and his coworkers also didn't think much of people coming to the station. I only remember one time he mentioned a person getting a crap ton of food and he was just impressed by how much they could pack away. Other than that, people were mentioned cause they were rude.

      The funniest thing is, based on how Restaurant Workers are treated by Management and Customers, that Management telling them to watch portions would probably backfire into “Meat Bouncers” serving larger portions more often.

      It doesn't. Love isnt a substance it's connections and responses in your brain. Love could, however, affect the way the chef cooks (although by very little). And via human psychology, if the customer knows (or thinks they know) that the person who cooked their food 'cooked it with love' then they are more likely to enjoy it i suppose.

    When my dad's brother was a kid, his parents didn't like taking him to buffets. The reason for this was that my uncle was a typical geek, complete with the thick-framed glasses with tape above the nose and dress shirts with ink stains on the pockets. He developed a formula to "make sure he got his money's worth" at the buffet, but overestimated the capacity of his own stomach. The result was that he would eat until he couldn't keep the food down. He also stubbornly refused to accept the fact that his "perfect equation" had this fatal flaw to it, and got sick every time he went to an all you can eat buffet.
