My problem is that I can't stuff my face with enough food at a buffet to justify a $29 to $65 entry fee. I have seen FOB Chinese guys with huge plates of food at all-you-can- eat joints. I don't know how they do it. They tend to be really skinny middle aged people. I've even seen old Chinese ladies doing this too. It's highly amusing and wondrous!
