Also Chinese buffets are the only restaurant I will eat at alone, so much easier to just cram food into my throat.

The one dude who could keep up with my plate count got that stomach bypass surgery. So I guess I'll be joining you in being alone. Like that song Sting sang, "Message in a Buffet".

Usually I try to eat every animal I can. Not sure if I'm imagining there are different kinds of nutrients in the various muscle proteins, or if it's some king of symbolism, but it has just turned into my ritual. Maybe the whole thing is some kind of scavenger hunt?

Also, generally avoid seafood at a buffet. Usually you can tell immediately if they're using old or expired shellfish, but sometimes you get the sneak attack. (Of course this can also happen with any food - see Windex rangoon.)

Usually by the second plate I'm pretty full. After that I eat another half plate. Then I think about going into the bathroom and vomiting.

Protip:
If you do vomit, you can keep eating. Roman-style. The key is to vomit only when necessary, not after every little thing, and to neutralize the stomach acid as quickly as possible to prevent the dissolving of your stomach valve, esophagus, and teeth.

aw, hec
My family went to the asian buffet for thanksgiving diner. There was a guy sitting in his car in the parking lot eating takeout by himself.

That place is pretty good. Loads of free sushi and a guy will make a stir fry to your order.

Also why can I be out in the boonies and find a Chinese buffet staffed by nothing but Asians but otherwise never see another Asian for hundreds of miles in any direction? Any Asians here with an answer?

because if you're the only chinese/japanese/korean/vietnamese family for miles, you've got a goldmine waiting in the form of steam tables full of fried rice and lo mein.

Don't feel bad. I once road my back to go get some fast food since I was poor. Long, uncomfortable return trip. Poor choices.

The chinese buffet near my house has a sushi bar that puts out pretty good "cheap" sushi, you know the kind where the the kind where the highest quality thing there is probably the tuna. So I'll usually get a plate of various kinds of those, then go up for a plate of the staples like lo mein, beef and broccoli, general tso's, etc. Not a heaping plate or anything. After that I'm usually pretty full so I'll call it quits or snack on some of the fruits until everyone else is done.

This is true. We're also savvy enough to target the best foods like seafood and fresh fruit since they're the most expensive.

Also, we can tell by taste if it was cooked by a Hispanic person or a Chinese.

I don't mind eating alone at quite a few of the hole in the wall ethnic joints I know around town but I gotta admit it feels the most right when at a chinese buffett.
