heh heh....

So says the lawyer who is suing the Chuck-O-Rama on behalf of a couple of
Atkin's dieters 86'ed for practicing roast beef abuse. It would appear the
trial will hinge on whether restaurant had the right to boot the bootees,
claiming the restaurant is not really an all-you-can-eat establishment. I
must confess, I've never seen a buffet that wasn't all-you-can-eat. But, in
fact, the definition of buffet clearly fails to resolve this quandry. Perhaps
this trial will lay to rest this pressing socio-political issue. In the
meantime, I'm gonna fix myself a salami-cheese-salami sandwich!

Oh, there isn't going to be a trial, they only want to bring light
to this stereotyping that Samoans eat a lot. That's all they want.

Uh huh.

Well, they said they've been there quite a few times since they went
on the Atkin's diet maybe 3 weeks ago. I have a feeling the
restaurant saw them coming and were sick and tired of the one man
roast beef eating machine.

The end (Atkins diet) apparently justifies the means.

I think they were ****ed off because they weren't making any money off a
couple of customers choosing not to eat the typical cents-per-ton slop
buffets make their profit from. Will there be a trial? Beets me. Depends
on which way the litigants take it. I guess a business has right to exclude
anyone losing them money. By the same token, the customer has the right to
sue the business for discrimination, be it ethnic or gastronomic.

On another note, howzabout those trick new kitchen gizmos. Salad scissors,
for the knife impaired, and toast envelopes for ppl so anal they can't
tolerate "toast leavin's".

The count was 12. Assuming they are even just 4 ounce slices that is 48
ounces, or 4 full pounds of beef. Maybe they should move to Texas and eat
every night at those 72 ounce steak places. My guess is they were bagging
the food and taking it home with them. FWIW when I was a lot younger and
working out and riding a bike etc myself and a companion did get booted from
the oyster bar at a King George's Smorgasbord in Eureka, California. We
were eating more food than humans had a right to but at least we ate it
there. No biggie, we switched to fried chicken.

Yeah, that's bidness.

They've lawyered up, I guarantee they have dollar signs in their eyes.

That's true.

I can believe the restaurant really couldn't care less if they were
Samoan. I really think it had to do with their sudden 3 times a
week or whatever visits where I think they went overboard on the
roast beef.

On another note, howzabout those trick new kitchen gizmos. Salad scissors,

(laugh) Did you have Good Morning America on, too? My eyes glaze
over at those gadget segments, but I did catch the salad scissors
and got a glimpse of a toaster with inserts?

Okay, I don't want *anyone* to be offended. I think Louie Anderson

48 oz is 3 pounds, not 4. Still an awful lot of meat. Some poeple don't seem
to realize tha Atkins is not a license to eat unlimited amounts of low carb
foods.

With a name like Chuck-A-Rama it would be hard to convince a jury
its not a feed-lot.

They are starting a whole new franchise for bulimics soon, called
Up-Chuck-O-Rama.

If they return your money and ask you to leave there is no foul.
My neighbor, Mr. Chen, owns a Chinese Restaurant and had a
guy come in and take ALL the eggrolls and crab puffs
thus making Mr. Chen work his ass off to replace them.
As he brought out the next batch, the guy try's to take them also.
Mr. Chen returned his money and tells the guy (in a thick accent),
"All you can eat don't mean all YOU can eat!"
The restaurant roared with laughter and that pig never returned.

That'd be John Pinnette

Look he http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0684124/

He was also the guy whose mugging landed Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer in
jail for the series finale of Seinfeld.

Funny, funny guy. He opened for someone I saw in concert back in....I wanna
say 1992. I was on a concert-going binge back then, I don't recall which
singer it was, I saw quite a few in that era. But I remember howling with
laughter at his "You Go Now!" bit.

Ya'know.. I've never even heard of that stereotype before. And by the looks of them
(her more so than him) they were chowing down pretty good but that has nothing to do
with them being Samoan. Did you like the added "visual" of the flower in her hair
and the lei around his neck? How about the overly jolly lawyer who proudly boasts of
his own 300+ poundage and how he chows down too? I don't blame the restaurant one
bit. Those folks were making pigs of themselves and now are making fools of
themselves too, in my book.
