    I worked at a pizza place when I was in high school, sort of a Chuck E Cheese rip-off. Near the end of one night, I saw another guy about my age pulling a bucket of sauce from the back to the front.

    The sauce came in like 20 gallon buckets. He dropped one, the lid came off, and 20 gallons of sauce started to spread across the kitchen floor. The dirty-ass kitchen floor.

    He looks up at me, says "Oh shit," grabs a ladle and starts frantically scraping the sauce back into the drum. I was the only witness to this. I didn't say anything to anybody. And sometimes, I STILL can't sleep at night.

    Not big on buffets myself, but Mandarin kicks some ass. The Goose is my kind of fine dining. Never like places that had the menu outside the door.

    One of the greatest threads in the history of this board was about Worst Chain Restaurants. It got to five pages in like 20 minutes. Unreal.

    My first job was a bus boy at the greatest Chinese restaurant. It was fantastic.

    I shared bussing duties with a wrestler at my high school. Great guy, but a pig. He would scarf down left behind to-go boxes, and he would eat portions of food that were untouched off of peoples' plates after they had left.

    The food was good, but man, that was taking to to an extreme.

    I'm talking about one way older than that that got lost in one of the meltdowns.

    I've been a good boy and have been having salads for lunch for the past few months, but I've been known to load up on those things when I'm not eating healthy. Some of the meat might be 80% fat. The chicken wings are all breading. And heaven help the people who eat the fish.

    I always make it a point to cough loudly into my hand before I handle any buffet bar utensils.

    Enjoy your lunch!

    I love the zoning laws in our town. One of the local Chinese buffets in our neighborhood is located next to a veterinarian's office. Drove by another Chinese buffet up the road the other day, and there was another vet's office that had opened up next to it.
    I'm wary.

    Unhygienic handlng of food in restaurants is the reason the human species went extinct.
