Buffet

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.
