What he said
“Does the Hong Kong buffet deserve 3 stars? I'm gonna have to say no. We're. We're gonna have to drop it down to two and a half stars.”
“No hibachi. There's nothing here. Marion, I'm sorry. This ain't it.”
“This is a very tiny budget fountain. This one's financially friendly. It only collects change, doesn't cost you any.”
“Never seen an egg this shape before. It's a weird shaped egg. Almost like a heart.”
“There's, like, this much meat on it. Like, the whole corner is just meat. The rest of it is literally bone.”
“We got the crab meat wraps on deck. He might in fact be gooning. I'm not sure yet.”
What he didn't love
- Selection: Not a whole lot going on: no hibachi, 'there's nothing here'. 03:41
