    We don't have any Golden Corrals around here, but there is Hometown Buffet. When my kid was little, we went through a phase where we'd go to a new one that opened nearby almost weekly. I didn't mind so much because I could get a good salad (even a buffet can't fuck up salad) and enough other choices to be OK.
    Then we moved and the closest Hometown Buffet was a pig sty. The one and only time we tried to go there, we had to circle the parking lot twice to find a place to park, then wait in line for a table. The one we eventually got, there were dirty dishes on the floor under the table, some of the main food choices they were out of. Haven't been to a buffet since, about 7 years.

    Your bias ("not being a goddamned chain") probably sounds strange to her. You are, in effect, praising (or damning) a meal before you've had it, based on where you are having it. At least she has something tangible (the size) to go by.


    Wife and I like buffets because we have opposite tastes, and a buffet is a good way to avoid the "nothing I like on the menu" problem. My only issue with Golden Corral is why they have "servers", who basically "serve" only drinks. Very hard to justify leaving a tip on the table when I fetched my own food (and would have fetched my own coffee had I been given the choice to).
     
  3. Last time the wife and I went to a Golden Corral - we were riding in the back of a friends car. As he and his wife were describing the restaurant they wanted to go to - my wife and I dived out of their moving car as they passed by the Golden Corral. My wife tore her ACL diving out of the car and I broke some ribs and had a pretty bad road rash on both my hands which come to think of it probably had me dripping blood and pus into the chocolate waterfall as I was dipping some individual pieces of bacon.

    It was worth it even though our friends don't speak with us any more.

    The last time I went to a Golden Corral was with an Indoor Football League team. The guys behind the counter almost shit a brick when they saw 10 300-pounders.

    I see what you did there.

    A new Golden Corral opened near here a few months ago. We drove by on a Friday night about 3-4 months after the opening on our way to another restaurant and saw the line to get in...stretched out the door and around the parking lot.

    Nothing like taking the wife out on a date night to strap on the ol' feedbag, eh?

    Let me guess, your friends wanted to go to that pricey seafood joint and they hoped you got the chef on a good night, right?

    There are some very good buffets, like Ryan's for example. Golden Corral and Sizzler, I would have presumptions against. And I wouldn't touch the Wonderfall with Bubbler's dick.

    I'd like to talk a little bit about Chinese buffets.

    Who gives a shit about all your injuries? All we want to know is if you fucked the Wonderfall?

    It's amazing how the Intertubesnet thing caters to almost any search.
