Buffets should be banned!
Ponderosa
Picadilly's
Home Style Buffet
BLAH!
What is the appeal of buffets? Yeah you get a lot of food for cheap. I still don't think they're worth it. The quality is just so bad. The food can be cold, hard, and bland. You see snotty nose kids picking up food and putting in back down. Then there's grandma or grandpa with that hack. THe ponderosa closest to me refuses to put a lot of food out at once, so they can save it up. What's the point of going to a buffet then. Picadilly's is in a class of it's on, but it is still a buffet, and a somewhat expensive one at that!

Ugh. The Golden Corral. When Tulsa was still part of the WAC, we traveled there for a game one year, ate at the Golden Corral and everyone got the shits the next morning. It was really bad.
I never used to be a big fan of Todai, but that all changed last summer. Just ask DolphinChicaDDD. She got us the bowl 'o butta for our crab legs. Most people use dipping saucers...chick got us a whole bowl full. And we still managed to go dancing that night!

Sometimes you just gotta eat crab legs like they're going out of style. Maybe its because its one of the last things you wanna do before you deploy. Maybes its because you are allergic to shellfish. Maybe its because you need to make sure the "most dangerous job in the world" fishmen's work doesn't go to waste. Or maybe, just maybe, its because you enjoy the look everyone else at the place gives you, when there are like 5 people about about 50,000 crab leg shells.
I think we needed to dance so that our arterories didn't clog on the spot.
ps- YOU'RE MAKING ME MISS HONOLULU!! KNOCK IT OFF

You forgot -- "Maybe it's because you just love yelling at Chinese waiter boy for taking the plate of crab legs before you managed to finish em all"
and
"Maybe you just love the feeling of cracking a leg open to find a nice chunk of meat and then exclaiming, 'Mmm...I got me a goooood one!' "

Lol exactly. We have Golden Corral and Furrs Cafeteria here, plus some chinese buffets, and man I would hate for them to be banned. I don't care how many people have sneezed in em or whatnot---as long as I don't think about it, i'll eat it! lol

I'd like them to be banned for a different reason. There's so much food I want to eat and only a little me. It's not fair

Dude, the Todai I was talking about earlier has an average wait time of 45 minutes - 1 hour. It's amazing how long people will wait for a table there. There's always big groups of people every night.
Come to think of it, all the buffet restaurants here are popular and the wait's long. I wonder why?

Oh man Ryan's sucks. When I was at UGA we would hit those sometimes on road trips. The vegetables are alright, but the meat is where you get in trouble.
I don't much care for buffets either in general though.
As for crab legs- my brother lives in Anchorage. I still have about 30 pounds of giant King Crab claws in my freezer from the last shipment (big ones- 1+ pound claws and 20"+ legs), and that is all the buffet we need from time to time.
Just stick a few on the grill, put a couple of sticks of butter on the stove- and we are set. Gets me through the hard times until mudbugs come back in season around here (always a good excuse for a road trip down to Houma or Morgan City Louisiana.)
