Sushi includes Rice

I'm surprised they were ballsy enough to even ask. Those things are
supposed to be for one person only, not an entire family. The
waitress went beyond the call of duty to bring TWO plates. I hope she
was tipped well.

The idea of all you can eat was very appealing when I was younger.
These days it would just be a waste of money since I can hardly eat a
single lightly-loaded plate. My habit of eating half of whatever is on
the plate has evidently resulted in my stomach shrinking. There ought
to be a separate price for guys like me because the idea of picking
what I want off a big spread is still appealing.

The cheapo place that I stayed at on the mainland had make your own
waffles which seems like a great idea but the waffles turned out heavy
and not crispy at all. Too bad. I hope that the next time I try this
it'll be better. When I make waffles at home I've gotten into the
habit of flipping the iron upside down, adding the batter, and
flipping it rightside up again. This, I think, is a pretty good idea.

When I was younger, I learned where the best Happy Hour places were. Do
they even put out food at Happy Hour any more? I never was much of a
drinker. So I'd get a Diet Coke or a glass of Club Soda with lime and eat
whatever they put out.

I think that's a bit of a stretch. After all, there's a McDonalds close
to my house, and I'm familiar with what they sell there, who eats there,
what languages are spoken and how it screws up the traffic. That
doesn't mean I eat there very often. I can learn all that by visiting a
couple of times a year, and I have to drive by there to get to several
other places in that shopping center (and until the last parking lot
remodel, I avoided driving a certain way because of the traffic).

Last time I ate at a pizza buffet was when I was a starving college
student, about 40 years ago. I've seen it advertised here and there
since then. The local Round Table Pizza (the one with all the square
and rectangular tables) sent me a mailing recently for a free lunch
buffet. I think my wife and son went.

Frankly, a pizza buffet doesn't suit my personal eating style.

True. dsi1 is a pig, but a pig of a different squeal than David

I don't even eat sushi, I'm from St. Louis, and I've known the
difference for years. I don't eat sushi because of not liking the
seaweed. I adore sashimi, but very seldom eat it because of the
price.

It has more to do with how long it's been sitting around. You'll
never get a find a good one that's been premade. They have to be
assembled and served immediately.


She's probably thinking of the entire package - which comes in
different styles, beginning with nigiri, maki and western style maki
(with rice on the outside).

I didn't say they didn't exist, just that I haven't heard of one
before. Walk away pizza, yes. Pizza buffet, no.

None of the places listed there that I've been to have a pizza buffet.
They're glad to set one up for a large party, but it's not a standard
thing for them. Did you *really* think a place like the North Beach
Restaurant would have a buffet with sneeze guard and all for the
monsters from middle America to chow down on? Fat chance.

I can understand that, James.

I avoided it for many years. The veggie prepping is the part I don't
like much.

I seldom make it for just myself any more. I do enjoy making it for
others when I have a sushi dinner at my house.

Its fun to watch everyone get into eating all the types I make. I try
to have about 20 choices with 20 pieces per/person. The whole thing
takes me about 90 minutes to make from start to finish.

There is usually enough for me to make soup out of the leftovers for
lunch the next day.

I'm slow, but the outcome is worth it!

Actually it depends on the place. Normally I don't do buffets (AYCE or
other) often outside the work luncheons (hail/fairwell things mostly).
I did go out with a friend recently though to a little local place. Her son
had just gotten his first job (busboy, age 16 which is a not bad starter for
his age set as a summer job between school sessions). Yes, they had AYCE
fries. You got a large basket in the center of the table and a small plate
to the side for ketcup or whatever. If you ordered an entree and a drink,
(burgers and sodas or tea) they became AYCE fries.

The burgers were decent and came in several sizes with 3 cheese choices and
many topping choices (first time I'd seen beetroot listed stateside). The
fries (very good) came in crisp or extra crisp, plain, salted, or 3 choices
of seasoned salts (sea-salt and black pepper in a table grinder, cajun
shaker, and a salt free one much like MS Dash in a shaker from the sound of
it).

They have a neat trick. The bottom of the basket under the paper has a
'hot' metal round. It's not burning hot or anything but your fries stay
warm longer. I noticed tables with just 1 patron got a smaller basket but
it was refilled quickly. A table of 6 got 2 baskets and our table of 4 got
1 but they watched and refilled as it started to empty. Since there were 4
of us, 2 small plates for ketchup and such. 10$ each when we added tip. Not
bad for downtown big city eating.

2-3 slices worth of toppings on 1 slice is not an unreasonable amount
for Cici's (or Little Ceasars) pizzas.


Cici's is 100% serve yourself, including drinks. The only staff in
the dining room is the busser. 11% would be $.42 too much.

They don't care if folks eat till they bust, so long as they eat what
they take and not waste food. What that creep is doing is analogous
to someone at a Chinese buffet taking all the shrimp rolls, picking
out the shrimp and dumping everything else in the trash.

The restaurant owner acted appropriately. He is in business to make
money, not to accomodate a customer who is trying to defraud the place.
The customer filing the lawsuit wanted a bargain price for a more
expensive meal. If he wanted sashimi, that's what he should have
ordered. Not a dish that contains rice and then claim he can't eat the
rice.

Would you go to a vegetarian restaurant and demand meat? And then claim
a disability to get it? That's nonsense, full stop.



Those buffets give enough choice. It is awful to see people piling their
plates full of food and then leaving most of it behind to pile their
plates up again. Anyone who is food-restricted has the responsibility to
choose where to eat, not expect someone to accomodate them at the
restaurant's expense.

Mr. Martin's lawsuit is misguided. Some sushi restaurant is not the
cause of his problem. He should be suing his pancreas.

These were just slimy. I don't really know what texture I was expecting.
But they were also still in the shells. It was really hard to get them out.
All this slimy juice and then they would sort of squirt out of your fingers
as you tried to extract them. And then they were all slimy inside. I know
they are legumes and I do like beans. But these were just icky.
