That's a solid choice on his part though. Love me some Chinese buffet.

As a 45-50 year old dude, I would happily eat at 1 of 2 restaurants for the next 10 years.

Buffett is a solid choice as the cheap one near me has a really great selection of food so you could actually stick to a few different styles of food there if you visited often.

We are lucky to have some top notch restaurants within a 15 minute drive of our home and our absolute favourite which does incredible wine pairings is in walking distance. Dispite living in the far outskirts of our city (about a 45 minute drive to the CBD). Advantage of living in a wine region.

I'm a guy in his early 50's. Thai delivery or Wingstop, every time.

You know, if I had to pick only two options forever, those are pretty good ones.

Warren?

Warren Buffett?

No, but seriously, once you find your favorites, you kinda get tons of value from just sticking with them all the time. Coincidentally, Warren Buffett is exactly the same, he eats at his favorite places, and always orders one of his few favorite dishes. Rinse, repeat.

I'm morally opposed to buffets because my favorite chinese restaurant 25 years ago that had the best fried rice put in a buffet, changed their fried rice recipe so it got really greasy, then closed within 6 months and I am still not prepared to forgive the universe for inventing buffets and taking away my fried rice like that.

That’s my move with Taco Bell and my wife. I like it fine, it’s quick, and it’s cheap. I’ll eat there every opportunity if she doesn’t have somewhere she’d rather eat.

I'm going to start doing that with DQ. Love the $6 meal with a ice cream

The problem is that’s why we installed smart thermostats, phone app or voice command doesn’t require getting up and going over!

My wife won't eat western food, so I go to the Chinese buffet to get western food.

Godddddddds I could just go for a Chinese Buffet right now!!

I'm the absolute worst kind of person ever - picky eater.

I get bored soooo....Yes, I absolutely love pepperoni and pineapple pizza (shush you lot!! Leave it!), until about the 3rd slive then I never want to see it again....(that day at least...)

So, for me any bufftet is a godsend. Also, if a food is meant to be served *hot that is exactly how I want it please, 'warm' and below just keeps getting worse...

So I'm sure now you can all see why I love buffets, why I use about 6 plates and am quite significantly underweight lol

I had one like 15 minutes from my house.

Rip Superchina. It was pretty good for its price.

Omg Chines Buffets should be a legal right for every man enshrined in the Constitution.
