What he said
“Does the Happy Dragon Buffet deserve 4.1 stars? I'm gonna say no. I think they deserve five stars. Sure, they didn't have pizza, but I mean, everything I picked up was way above the bar.”
“Oh, my god. That's the best thing I've ever had at a Chinese buffet in my life.”
“Triangle goons. Hell, yeah! Oh, we are so fucking back, dude. I'm gooning so fucking hard.”
“This is probably one of the best egg rolls I've ever had. It's not like they fried it in, like, yesterday's oil or something.”
“A whole Chinese buffet right next to a KFC Taco Bell combination. It doesn't get any more American than that.”
“This is probably the best looking frog leg I've seen in my career of eating at Chinese buffets.”
Also noticed
- A small buffet right next to a KFC/Taco Bell combo ('It doesn't get any more American than that'), with an itty-bitty fountain, a Kung Fu Panda figure, Chinese-zodiac placemats from his childhood, and mobs of people: all of Dry Ridge was there. 00:14
- A plate design he'd never seen: 'This has to be a rare one.' 01:56
