Buffets are a great place to go and pig out. Take as many trips to the food line as you want and no one bats an eye; however, these people have taken the term "unlimited food" to a great extreme.
Home Sweet Home
Old Country Buffet. I saw a guy eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He just rested, read the newspaper, and wouldn’t leave the f—ing booth. He was there for 7 hours. He did this every day. He was probably 400 lbs. Source
Food Fuels The Brains
People used to do that at the buffet on my college campus during finals. Just sit there and binge all day long while they studied. It was like $7 per meal or something ridiculously cheap like that, but they didn’t kick you out after you’d been there 11 hours. Source
Setting Up Shop
That’s nothing! One of my best friends weights about 175lbs skinny guy. Well for about 3 or 4 months we didn’t have WiFi so he pack up his desktop PC his monitor and everything else to keep him busy I guess. He would walk about a mile and set-up shop. He would set their from 7am to like 12pm eating and playing games. when everyone left at night he would leave with them. What was crazy is he made friends with the workers had them give him rides home after about 2 months. Source
The Eating Olympics
Chinese tourists in gambling cities go truly Olympic on casino buffets. It doesn’t even make me mad; it borders on the superhuman, how much food a tour bus parked in Reno will put away. I’m certain that at least one species of crab has gone completely extinct because of the seafood buffet at the Atlantis meeting with twenty camera-toting slot junkies from Hong Kong.
No disrespect intended towards Chinese tourists, of course. They’re a very important gear in the ever-turning machinery of the gambling community. Source
They Don’t Mess Around
Chinese tourists don’t f— around.
I took a cruise in 2014, and the buffet was awesome. Once when my dad and I were entering (entrance was right next to the outdoor seating area) an older Chinese couple, each no more than 5’2″, hunched over, carrying those serving trays waiters carry, each with the same configuration of food:
a dinner plate of fruits
a dinner plate of salad
a bowl of soup
a dinner plate of meat
a dinner plate of pasta
a dinner plate of entrees
a small plate stacked with bread
two small plates with desert
There had to be like 5-7lb of food on each of those trays. They just shuffled on, crusaders ready to march on the commanding Food Jerusalem. Source
A Never Ending Vaccuum
I was at the buffet at The Bellagio in Las Vegas.
An extremely obese man was sitting at a table by himself and not eating.
Until the kitchen staff refilled the the rack of creme brulee. The obese guy immediately got up, grabbed a tray and proceeded to take every single bowl in the rack. Once back at his table, he ate one after another like he was a vacuum. I am guessing he consumed at least 50 of them in less than five minutes. Source
Leave Now
Once I went with my mom’s then-boyfriend to Sizzler’s. He got the steak and all-you-can-eat shrimp. He was crazy high, and had the munchies. After the 7th refill of shrimp, the manager came to our table, and said if we left now he would refund his dinner.
I was so embarrassed. Source
Chicken Down
There was a chicken you carved bits off yourself at this one buffet, when they brought a fresh chicken out my friend picked up the whole chicken and put it on his plate.
The manager came out and told him if he didn’t eat the entire chicken he’d be billed for it. It took around 2 hours but my friend walked out triumphantly after leaving a chicken skeleton on his plate. Source
You Sir Are A Hero
I was once at Sizzler with my moms then boyfriend. He ate so much that another man who’d been having dinner with his wife came up and shook his hand and declared that was the most theyd ever seen some one eat. The man seemed genuinely impressed. It was hella weird. Source
Now That’s A First
Myself and a friend of mine got kicked out of Ryan’s once for eating too many steaks. The manager was nice about it though. Basically said: “If you guys stick to the regular buffet tables instead of the grill, you can stay. Otherwise I’m going to refund your money and make you leave for tonight. We’re short staffed right now.”
So we got a few plates at the buffet table and called it a night. Source
A Low Carb Diet
Not an employee but I had the honor of sitting across the table from a friend who pulled this one. First he went up and got a huge plate of crab legs and a bowl of clarified butter. Then made a second trip for prime rib. 2 huge slices. He sat there and cracked all the crab legs into the bowl of butter. Then dumped it onto the first piece of prime rib, slapped the second piece on top and ate the first breadless sandwich I had ever seen. Source
Now That’s A Record
I work at a small town buffet. Saturday nights is prime rib and seafood (shrimp). We have a regular that eats on average 6-7 lbs of prime rib and 2 lbs of shrimp.Source
*Heavy Breathing*
Sat a table away from a family of three with a clear view of their food. This is a pretty nice place (white tablecloth, $75-100 per person) The lady was heavier, but not quite grotesque, and the son was a pretty normal-looking teenager.
The father, or eldest male at the table was this gargantuan, lumbering, slightly British humanoid. Probably 450 lbs at 6’5″ and, I’m not shitting you, I could HEAR his salivary glands kick into gear when they put the bread down. The poor server never had a CHANCE. Immediately upon placing the bread on the table, Gargantos shot his hand into the folded linen and put the entire loaf on his appetizer plate and requested another loaf… and a Coke.
Now, this bread is damn good. I can understand the enthusiasm. But HEARING this man’s breathing rate change (from around 12-15 feet away) and listening to his voice start quivering like he was trying to hold off an impending orgasm alerted me that we’d have to keep notes on this encounter.
The server was also ours, and impressively, we never lacked for attention, though that may be because of what must have been 60 trips to the table nearby. We were able to ask at the end of the meal what the counts were for bread and Coke’s.
Gargantos alone had put down 11 loaves, a total of 18 loaves to the table. Around 10 ramekins of butter, and 20!!!! Coke’s.
This fucker had an entire 4 course meal IN ADDITION to that nonsense. And this food is RICH food.
By my calculations, I put him at nearly 7000 Calories before factoring in his goddamn dinner.
That poor server…Source
Carbs For Days
I work at Olive Garden and we had unlimited pasta a few months ago. I had one guy get five refills on his pasta bowl and get about three salad refills (it came with unlimited salad and breadsticks). I didn’t mind because he tipped me well. Source
Food Can Kill
A couple of years ago we had this small “soul food” all you can eat buffet. The southern smoke house. Decent place always smelled like a sweaty ham though and served r.c cola . Some guy came in ate till he would pass out wake up and start it all over again. Guy had a heart attack and died right there in booth. Source
