Honestly, I don’t believe its fair to say “all you can eat” unless its true. Otherwise, you should put some type of detailed limit.
But attempts must have been made and probably continue.

“You can’t make me stop. The sign says 'All you can eat for 16.99.”
"Yes sir. 4 plates is all you can eat for $16.99.
Each plate you get a semi-perm tattoo on your hand to keep track.
All you can eat 1 hour
Do these seem like the actions of a man who had “ALL HE COULD EAT?”
seriously though just put a 1 hour limit on it
washee-washee read this out in my head
I get what you’re saying OP, but ‘all you can eat’ doesn’t mean eat, digest for a few hours and go eat more…
Personally, raised with 5 other siblings, I don’t normally hold back so I’d be waddling out in 45 minutes flat questioning my life decisions for the following 18hrs.
But I do know people who would try to take full advantage and try to time it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
My school has labeled the main cafeteria “All You Care to Eat”, which I still think has a loophole.
“… in the 11 minutes you have scheduled for lunch”
Excellent broken English.
What you mean? The English function fine.
All you can eat for one meal, they can’t have you sitting there for 8 hours when you’re only going to be eating at most 2 of those 8. You’re taking up space that could be used by other guests if you’re just setting up camp in the restaurant
Most buffet restaurants get around this by closing for one hour between lunch and dinner, and/or a maximum time limit.
One of the restaurants at my work does an all you can eat crab during some parts of the year. Really it’s all you can eat for 90 minutes, they even put a timer on your table lol
Whoa, too bad you don’t get a reward for finishing early like “Company Can Cozies if you finish 2 Platters of crab in 15 mimutes.” . I’d bet even for that the office would make it a competition.
I went with my Vietnamese colleague to an all you can eat sushi place in Savannah after we spent two weeks doing hurricane response when I was still in the Coast Guard. This dude ate 32 rolls of sushi, and the old lady running the place loved him. At a certain point, I think she just wanted to see how many it would take before he tapped out. I think I ate ten or twelve rolls, and just sat there in awe while the dude just kept shoveling food into his mouth. To be fair, we’d been working 20 hour days for two weeks and the ship was running out of food before we pulled into port.
Later on, found out that same dude cheated on his wife, then found out his wife was pregnant, they tried to work it out, she had a miscarriage, and he filed for divorce two weeks later. Fun times
I had a sushi binge once back in college. I went to eat lunch with my friends at the local Vietnamese place and we definitely overate. I was supposed to meet with my frat sponsor later that night and was worried that I might not get dinner before 9pm. Turns out my sponsor had planned to surprise me by taking me out to a fairly upscale sushi place for dinner since he knew I loved it. We get to the restaurant and he orders “the boat” which contains like 50+ pieces of sushi (for just the two of us). When the food came out I was worried I wouldn’t be able to eat but turns out I can make extra space for sushi. I demolished that boat and ate more than my sponsor. He was legit impressed when I finally admitted that I had eaten a big lunch before hand.
Sushi Zanmai?
I honestly don’t remember the name of the place. It was almost 20 years ago.
When you say roll, do you mean the entire cylinder of sushi?
Or do you mean the bite sized circle of one sushi entree?
I can’t imagine a person scarfing 30 cylinder entrees of sushi unless they’re a competitive eater or something. That’s nuts.
Full roll, not just individual pieces. Most places I’ve been to have 4-7 pieces in a roll, this place had 10 or 12
I’m wondering the same. 32 pieces of sushi is easy, I’ve done that many times in my life. 32 full rolls? Jesus. I think I’ve done 5 or 6 max.
They gotta mean individual pieces, not full rolls. The volume alone of 32 full rolls is just more than a stomach could fit!
Nope, full rolls. Big rolls too, 10-12 pieces each, and that’s not counting the sashimi and other appetizers.
Damn that’s insane then!
It was pretty impressive. And a bit disgusting
That’s a new copy pasta
I liked the first half of this story :(
That second third was pretty good too, but it dropped off pretty quickly from there.
What an emotional rollercoaster this story was
That was an M. Night Shamalamadingdong twist to a story about buffets.
Imagine four guys that workout a lot, trying to gain mass after a cut, going to an all you can eat sushi place…
The waitress was just laughing her ass off when passing by our table and seeing another order slip, we filled the table four times before we felt we had enough…
Oh I can imagine. Two young military officers coming off a few weeks at sea working 20+ hour days led to this story. We went back with more people the next day, and I thought we were gonna clear the place out
It must’ve been the 100 rolls of sushi that provoke the cheating…
Honestly the rolls they were serving were at least double the size of most other places I’ve gone. Might’ve had something to do with the major hurricane that just rolled through tho
Have you ever considered writing for the Saw films?
Let’s play a game
You’re hired!
What size? Normal or big (futomaki)?
Big
John Pinette reference
god rest is funny, funny soul
Eat vegetable!
Get out of the line
Eat brocorri
You be here four hour! You go home now!
You scare my wife!
Alright, who tried to squat in this restaurant after paying for the buffet?
The entry was $18, the sign said open 24hrs…I was just trying to save on rent and food.
Tough times, tough times
This is quoting a famous stand up comedy routine by John Pinnette:
This runs through my head every time I think about buffets.
May he rest in peace. I miss his comedy.
Restaurant owner probably
Used to do this when I was a teenager. Group of friends would shuffle into the china buffet around 2, then stay for 4 hours or so, so you can get two meals for the price of one.
we’d sit in the smoking section, smoke cigarettes and fuck around. We made up our own language with something like 50 words, all reenacted to a degree. to say “butterfly” you had to act out a caterpillar being slowly dissolved in it’s own cocoon juices before emerging minutes later as a butterfly. it was a wonderful time.
we only ever sat there for hours when nobody else was there, though. if the place was crowded we’d eat and go so as not to be jerks
When I was a kid 84 yrs ago, me and my friend would go to Sizzler for all-you-can-eat. We’d stay about 4 hrs, we would try to eat as much as we could and try to drop a deuce to eat more lol.
…and I just realized that’s like bullemia of the ass.
When I was a kid 84 yrs ago
lol 😂
