You did an amazing job at Golden Coral….not sure why, but I like to go there about once a month or so…. and I sitll want to hit the Chinese buffet every month or so too….. and of course I don’t eat like you did at Golden Corral, and I always regret it the next day, because I eat to much and the food is not that good. So why do I continue to go there ?????????

The best way for me to handle a buffet is to avoid it.

We hardly ever go to buffet places, since there's not one near our house. The kids would probably love to go to one sometime. I do love Indian food buffet, though, and there's one just near enough work for an occasional treat but not regular feeding, thank goodness. .-= Pubsgal´s last blog ..Weekly Update, 5/19/10 =-.

OMG, I haven’t thought of Pondarosa in years! Luckily, we only have a crappy Chinese buffet near us – although my Mom and I do go to Sweet Tomatoes which we love – you just have to be careful of all the bread options there!

Happy Birthday to your Pappa!

Incline hammer curls get me every single time. Which is a good thing I suppose, but makes it difficult to open heavy doors for a couple days

I’ve never heard of Golden Corral before, but we used to go to Ponderosa all the time when I was a kid. Now I always take a tour of the buffet first and grab a small plate to start off with (like physically, a small circumference plate) that way I don’t have a mountain of food when I return to the table. And I always wait 5 minutes before deciding if I need another trip. Desserts at buffets are too hard to pass up though – I like your method for it!

I have always thought of GC as the super ick, but your plates look yummy.
The only buffet hubby & I will go to is a Mongolian BBQ buffet and I can eat as much veggies and healthy protein as I care to – I avoid the “special sauces” and stick with ginger or garlic water and white wine for flavoring. They also have a small salad bar and plenty of fresh oranges and grapes (plus watermelon in the summer). I love them! My parents used to take me to Cici’s when I was younger – that’s just trouble waiting to happen!

Happy bday to your poppa!!

I think of golden food when I think of the Golden Corral…fried stuff, breaded stuff, buttery stuff, baked goods. That is why I shouldn’t go to the Golden Corral (when I am in the US, that is!). Some of your commenters mentioned Sweet Tomatoes…that is a better choice for me – harder to succumb to “golden food” there!
