RAVE: Old Country Buffet. Yes, really!

[MrCrowesGarden]

Is Mongolian BBQ a buffet style place? I've always heard it was good but have never eaten there.

If it's HuHot, then it is a buffet. And it's very good. You choose your meat, noodles and veggies, then pour on your sauce(s) and they grill it up in front of you.

A few years ago my buddies and I discussed over a beer the worst restaurant you could take a date. Here's what we came up with:

Cheap:

1) New China Buffet
2) Old Country Buffet


Expensive:

1) fogo de chao


Feel free to add your suggestions.

McDonalds

We discussed this option. McDonalds can be okay if you need something quick in order to do something else. New China Buffet is never a good option.

A date at Ponderosa is the culinary equivalent of Conway Twitty.

Red Lobster if you in the mood for seafood.

I have to share a first date experience - my wife and I had our first sit down meal together at Blueberry Hill, Ken Wilson (former Blue's announcer) was sitting at a both across from us and spilled his water on himself and the floor, he unleashed a diatribe of curses that I've yet to hear topped since. I spent the rest of the date trying to explain to who Ken Wilson was and how he called Pete Rose's hit that broke Ty Cobb's record.

Ken Wilson's the only F-list celeb I've ever had flip me the bird. I totally cut him off in the parking lot at the old arena, and he was obviously screaming something at the same time. I don't doubt his verbal tirade abilities.

It's funny you mention that. The conversation started because a buddy of mind took a first date to red lobster and he ordered the all-you-can-eat shrimp and lobster deal. Naturally we gave him hell about it.
