When I go to a buffet, I like to get tiny amounts of everything. After sampling everything I go back and get more of what I liked.

Getting the Cops Called on You for Eating too much at the Buffet, Is one of the most American things ever 😂

I always starve myself a day before going to the buffet.

When I lived in Korea, the Buffets there made you pay extra for uneaten food.

I don't particularly eat expensive things at buffets, I eat the hard to create myself dishes.

[worldsfinestnegativemind]

Yup! Buffets always make money. Look at Warren Buffett!!!

Also, they oversalt their foods which gets you to drink more which expands the food in your stomach. This is especially true for crab legs.

Inmate: What are you in here for?
Me: I ate to much in an “All you can eat” buffet.

If a buffet costs like $1.99 I definitely don’t trust the food...

I was once asked to leave an IHOP on all you can eat pancake day when it wasn't a regular thing. I ate a full meal and 9 cakes. When I asked for more, they brought 2 in a box with the bill. To be fair, I asked them if they had a record # for the store. Since they didn't, I told them I'd set one. I guess they didn't think I was serious.

The more reasonable way I've seen buffets get around the "huge guy eating all the food" problem is that they have a time limit of like 1-2 hours so you can't just come in at lunch and pig out all day.

Costumer: But the sign says "All you can eat". Owner: Exactly, that's All You Can Eat! Good-bye.

“Drinks...cold. Are you ready? Here we go” 😂 😂 I miss the 90’s.

70% of americans are overweight or obese. I just felt like throwing that in the comment section.

They called the cops on a guy for eating too much at an all you can eat buffet? LOL

I remember when buffets were really popular in the 1960's. Cheap too. They were good because they were busy, and busy because they were good. Always bringing out fresh, hot food and plenty of people in line to eat it. It didn't sit in a chafing pan for hours.

[Nomadicways]

When I go to buffets, I don't drink anything until I'm done eating.

Everybody has their own personal strategy to eat as much as possible and we all think we have the right strategy.
