How these numbers work
- Per person = the whole bill ÷ the party size he states, tax included.
- From the 93 buffets where he gave both a price and a party size (and a rating). Buffets where he didn't say the price or how many people ate are left out, never guessed.
- "By his ratings so far": this describes his scores on the buffets he has reviewed, not buffets in general, and it says nothing about why.
