Yesterday I went to a buffet with a group of friends, we were hungry and we were cheap but we wanted to devour as much food as possible so we decided to head to a buffet. The place was called Great Wall buffet, Chinese owned and run the place had cheap food and we were hungry, perfect. It was only 2 P.M. the $7.99 lunch special was still effective but I was surprised to see the place not jammed back with bargain hunters feasting away at cheaply made food. As we were seated we are typically asked what would we like to drink, orange soda for me, and we rushed to the buffet to pig out. What is so great about a buffet is that it offers a wide variety of selection, which also depends on the time of the meal, for someone to choose from. Also different buffets offer different specialties, such as seafood, Korean, sushi or steak, etc.
what I notice is that there are numerous amounts of obese people at the buffet, they had a big build but they easily succumb to the never ending food. These obese people take their time eating, slowly but not even close to the amount that skinny people eat. The really scary people that eat huge amounts of food are the skinny people. The skinny people who seem to have a bottomless void for a stomach are usually the champion eaters. Perhaps competitive eating was spawn from the love of all you can eat buffets. Regardless of how they were made, they serve a common purpose of providing a cheap, fast and filling meal. The buffet itself is now an expanded fast food restaurant, providing a little bit of every other restaurant for about the same price as what you would have paid for at the original restaurant. Everyone seems to love food, but the bottom line seems to be money over food. The buffet environment brings out the better of the two. Buffets offer food for cheap and as much as you can eat it, paradise for any food lover.

Buffet
One Monday evening after a long day at school I decided to go get some yogurt at Yogurt Land. I raced there as fast as I could and circled around to find parking, I managed to get a spot near Yogurt Land. I parked in front of a store called Z-Pizza, and I recalled hearing from somewhere, most likely my English 100 class, that it has very good pizza so I decided to drag my friend into the store and try some. I have recently begun to try to eat healthier, because lately I have been a little round on the edges.
I noticed a large amount of people pouring into Yogurt Land and yet Z-Pizza was pretty much empty. So at first I was a little skeptical whether I should even go to Z-pizza or not. But naturally my curiosity got the best of me so I stepped into the small store called Z-pizza. At first sight it wasn’t that impressive, I was with just one friend so I didn’t feel like eating so much so we got a ten inch pizza that was cut up into four slices for a fair amount of money. Along the walls of the store the word organic kept reappearing along with the word fresh. The pizza I got was something bar-b-que, I forgot the actual name but damn, it was pretty good. I suppose the ingredients were fresh, though I could never have known if they were or not. The price was decent, but I was expecting a bigger pizza than that four slice pie I got. But then it hit me, I realize with the use of the word organic, everything seems to be more healthy. And because it is healthier it also means the price will be much greater than say some Walmart brand pizza. The price we pay to buy organic food is getting ridiculous to the point where I just might start growing my own food, though I won’t due to a lack of a green thumb and extreme laziness. I like z-pizza but the organic rip off prices doesn’t really my engines running.

Trieu Chau
Ever have a restaurant that you love to go to? It is the best place in the world to you and your peeps that go there whenever you can. But when a new member joins the party, that’s when the needle scratches to a halting stop. All the sudden that person starts point out flaws about your favorite restaurant. What you think was fine dining, was in reality a hole in the wall shack ways off from city life. That was what happened to me when I took a friend to eat at a restaurant called Trieu Chau on the corner of Bolsa and Newhope. That’s when she pointed out all the discomforts of the restaurant, when we get there it was rush hour for lunch so we had to wait a while for a table. The thing is everything is hustle bustle; the restaurant opens at 7:00 A.M. and closes really early, the cooks flash cook food to perfection and bus boys dash it out to customers. The more customers served means more money, obviously. The restaurant is so bent up in trying to make as much money as possible sanitation isn’t the first thing in mind for the restaurant management. Such is the case with many of our favorite restaurants, it seems that we love the food because it is our own place, not well known our territory where we can hang out and eat. Possession is a big thing in human nature, even if the restaurant is a bit dirty we would still love to eat there. Another example would be taco carts, those things are just screaming out for a sanitation check people still go to enjoy the tacos. It is a little joke that goes around between my friends and I that the dirtier and cheaper the place is the better the food is. In some cases I would have to stare in disbelief because it is quiet true. For some reason the food seem to taste much better when it is food for average Joes, don’t get me wrong a $40 dollar steak better as hell be good as it is expensive otherwise no one would buy it. Our knowledge of a good and cheap hole in the wall restaurant makes the food taste way better then mainstream rip off prices.
