A Texas buffet with a cotton candy machine and cheese balls that 'fucking rules', a good orange chicken sauce and pretty good sausage, but too-fishy seafood, ghosted goons and no pizza. He bumps Yelp's 2.8 up to at least 3.5: 'It's average.'

Also noticed
- A medium-sized buffet decorated like a suburban housewife got hold of it, complete with a 'live, laugh, love' reminder. Figurines you can find at Goodwill, '2003 mom vibes', and 'very Olive Garden', with saltines out 'for the vegetarians'. 00:55
- A cotton candy machine with shape options, which his Ohio Chinese buffets don't have. He picks the butterfly; it does not come out looking like a butterfly. 00:14
