Poll question: All you can eat Chinese Buffet or Denny's. Where to eat tonight?
My kitchen is being renovated so we need to eat out tonight. I want a "regular meal", with meat, potatoes, veggies... But my sons, ages 20 & 15 want 'All you can eat" Chinese.

What is The Lounge recommendation?

Wholesome stuff.

6. Incorporate some conservative politics into your home life:
Take a vote on where to eat tonight, then, after they vote for all you can eat Chinese, drive straight to Denny's. When they bitch tell them to shove it.

7. my fridge went out
got it repaired, but now have to clean it out.

so I'm in the same boat as you.

I went to a Chinese buffet the other night, and got a to-go box.

Loaded up with shrimp.

While eating it, noticed that they hadn't been cleaned.

I had to throw it all away.

9. This place is actually one of the better AYCE's in this area.
Its a big place too. Nice & clean. The selection is huge. Six long steam tables. Shrimp, crab legs, crawfish, sushi and all the regular Chinese specialties. They serve BBQ'd ribs and charbroiled steak too.

Oh oh, I'm tipping towards Chinese now.

10. i don't know what is more disgusting
denny's is inedible, of course, but chinese food was created w. the theory of food not wait for man, man wait for food and that is why a wonderful crispy stir-fry dish prepared to order suddenly becomes a nasty thing when you find it at the chinese buffet

i'm afraid rather than spend that much money on a nasty meal i'd just do the captain crunch

15 and 20 yr olds don't have a palate, they don't get a vote unless it's their own money
