What he said
“Does Umami Buffet deserve 3.4 stars? I'm gonna have to say Probably deserves 2.8 stars. All the food looked good, but none of it tasted good.”
“These two Chinese buffets are literally in the same fucking parking lot.”
“You can't go nowhere without tripping on a fucking TV around here.”
“We are definitely not [gooning] on plate No. 3.”
“I know a fucking Golden Corral when I see one.”
Also noticed
- A former Golden Corral in front of a tiny Walmart, with a parking lot full of grocery carts and a pothole that 'could swallow a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban'. Inside it's like Chinatown as a buffet, with flat-screen TVs absolutely everywhere, even next to the plates. 00:27
- Two Chinese buffets in the same parking lot (this and Hibachi Buffet): 'I've never seen anything like it.' 00:14
