And most of these people are from Missouri or Illinois.
What I'm trying to say is that I notice there's a HUGE difference in restaurant preferences, between the people I see online (many who are from the east or west coast) and people I see in real life. I just wonder if this is a regional thing. I think so, but I don't really know, since I've never been on either coast.

I am in New England, and I have to say that there are few buffet style restaurants in my area. Chinese restaurants aside, I have only seen one Old Country Buffet, and maybe years ago, a Ponderosa. As far as eating at Crapplebees...ick.
I admit to an annual hankering for a Chili's fajita and Molten Chocolate Cake, but usually go the mom and pop places if we eat out. Of course, that's much less often than it used to be, thanks to the economy. If I am famished and at the mall, I usually get chicken teryaki with white rice from Sarku. If I am on the road, Subway or fast-food chicken sandwiches are my choices.
When I visit my inlaws in Arkansas, there are buffets everywhere. This one place I went to, Monteney (sp) Chicken, had what I think was all-you-can-eat. Although I love (LOVE) fried chicken, my health situation now dictates what I can eat, so my admission price was kind of wasted. When I was younger, I was always able to eat in large quantities, in fact due to my health, I HAD to eat a lot of food to keep me going. Nowadays, I can't even get through half my meal. Thank goodness doggy bags are acceptable!
