Geez, JBeanya, you might make a cheap date.It's just not my thing. I am kind of a picky eater, in that I like things simple with no sauce and kind of plain. Don't like seafood or steak either.

Why are people assuming this was an "all you can eat" buffet? Kind of scary how we as Americans are trained this way.
In my opinion, the original purpose of any buffet is so you can sample many different things, as opposed to just selecting a single dish. Americans have seem to have twisted this around to thinking they can eat more than a reasonable amount.
I've never had the stomach to eat more than 2-3 platefuls of food at a Chinese or an Indian buffet, and even then I am completely full and guilt-ridden. I suppose in my case I did have "all I can eat", and even then some, but it sounds like these men were taking advantage of this place, seeing as they patronized this establishment 3 times a week.
Oh, so there is someone else besides me that doesn't eat chinese or seafood. :dance:
I think the restaurant thinks they will go out of business the way these people take food, not that they're trying to be the fat police.
So I've been told. Low maintenance and cheap.Geez, JBeanya, you might make a cheap date.
If I ever make it to Louisiana, I'll be looking you guys up to go out an eat some of your food. You two talking about it, is making my mouth water.gotta agree with ya, Gonzo. Cajun is the way to go when you are anywhere near Cajun Country! I'm smack dab in the middle, and OMG, the food around here makes it HARD to stay thin! It's all so darn delicious!!!
Having said that, Houma is an oilfield town, solidly blue collar, as someone already mentioned. This guy and his cousin surely aren't eating more than most oilfield workers, they just eat more OFTEN. My mindset is firmly in the "if you don't want people to eat a lot of food, don't offer an 'all you can eat' buffet" corner. The waitress could use a lesson or two in tact, although for a Louisiana oilfield town, she didn't do TOO bad. Heck, I've heard a waitress tell a guy, "get your fat *advertiser censored* out of that booth, you've been here long enough."
LMAO Buzz.I like seefood.
I'd go with you Buzz..but I am too cheap.If I ever make it to Louisiana, I'll be looking you guys up to go out an eat some of your food. You two talking about it, is making my mouth water.

Okay count me in.Laissez les bon temps roulet!
......Apostate.

I think that is one of the reasons my dh keeps me around. When we go to dinner type parties he gets all my food.People like you who don't like steak or seafood are what makes people like me very, very happy. More for me, yippee.
Although I do think any restaurant where the waitress can say "Get your fat *advertiser censored** out of that booth, you've had enough" is one where the next line from the waitress is, "And tell your mama I said hello, Cousin Bobby."
Oh of course that guy's fat and probably his companion, too. I don't blame the restaurant for banning them since they probably refused to quit gorging on the crab legs.
--I'm picky too and don't like steak either, but I LOVE the Teriyaki chicken at the Wellington Mall food court, and, as for seafood, at some restaurants around here I love the Mahi MahiIt's just not my thing. I am kind of a picky eater, in that I like things simple with no sauce and kind of plain. Don't like seafood or steak either.
--hey, these two guys are FAT,not just overweight--Actually at 270 pounds and at 6' 3", they are considered OBESE--In contrast,I am 6' tall and weigh only 164 poundsWow really? Even though it was an all you can eat buffet?
Plus he is only like 30 something pounds overweight...overweight, without a doubt, but not gigantic. My husband (who is 6'2" and 190) and his parents (both about 20 pounds overweight) once got asked to leave an all you can eat buffet that had crab legs on the buffet because they were mostly eating the crab legs and the restaurant didn't like that. If you are going to put it on the buffet and advertise it as all you can eat then you need to expect people to do just that! Those crab legs will not fill my husband up if he doesn't eat a bunch of them and he only wants the crab legs off the buffet not the other meats...
