King Buffet
Arlington, TX
300 E Interstate 20, Arlington, TX 76018
A copy-my-homework twin of yesterday's buffet, busy enough to take a number. Good Texas goons, really good Italian shrimp, a dim sum line and pineapple-hinted pizza push it from 3.9 up to about 4.3.

- Pizza YesThe cheese pizza fights him getting it out. It has a little pineapple taste, like it was dipped in pineapple juice, and he's not mad at it.

Dishes
- Italian shrimpStacked like a mountain on the line. Actually really good, though he doesn't know what makes it Italian, and he'd rather they took the tails off.01:13
- Shrimp dumplingFrom a dim sum buffet line he didn't know they had. That was good.02:41
- Grilled salmonProbably the best-looking buffet salmon he's seen in a long time, falling off the bone, but a little chewy.01:20
- SushiStandard sushi, if he's ever seen one. It sat on his pizza, but he won't let the cheese affect the score: 'I'm a man of integrity.'03:00
- TamalesTamales on the buffet again, two Arlington buffets in a row.02:00
- Seafood boilAll corn.02:12

“Texas got some good crab rangoons down here.”
“I guess my favorite part about the suggestion box is it's all fortune cookie fortunes.”
“They don't give a fuck about a recession.”
“It tastes like somebody dipped it in a pineapple juice.”
“Straight from Italy, I guess.”
Also noticed
- So busy you check in and take a number. Food piled to the ceiling, a dim sum line, a Sriracha lineup, a chocolate fountain and another broken cotton candy machine. It looks exactly like the buffet he was just at, down to the same grill. 00:12
- A suggestion box full of nothing but fortune cookie fortunes. 00:31
- A dim sum buffet line, which he didn't know they did. 02:41
