Asking you the same thing I asked Nintendo when they dropped Animal Crossing last year: What did you know and how?

my kingdom for a plate of chicken on a stick and egg rolls with a cup of hot mustard

YOOOO

I am the only person I have ever known to get packets of hot mustard with chinese takeout eggrolls. They are phenomenal together, the mustard plays so well against the greasy crisp of an egg roll. Can't get anyone to even try a single bite. They don't know what they are missing.

Also chicken on a stick is a top tier buffet item

This is all true but they literally serve egg rolls with hot mustard? Also the packet mustard is poo poo, that stuff is worth making fresh

Where does hot mustard appear at a buffet geography-wise, I've never seen it in upstate NY?

When I order takeout as a group, some people use soy sauce packets, some people use duck sauce packets, but the mustard is 100% ignored and I get to keep all of it.

It's also pretty good on a bunch of the fried ephemera that constitute a "pu pu platter" - except the shrimp donut thing, that is good with duck sauce.

WHATS IN YOUR PU PU PLATTER?!

I think this is very regional, and many places don't even have a pu pu platter??? Google says it is a Polynesian/tiki bar thing that kind of wound up in chinese takeout?????

The one from my local place is 2x bag of boneless pork spare rib, 2x meat on a stick, 2x ring of fried dough with whole shelled shrimp tails inside, 2x shrimp toast, 4x chicken wing, and 2x eggroll.

It's like the appetizer sampler but a bunch of that stuff is exclusive to the pu pu platter, you can't order it alone.

It is really good and fun to share with people that never tried it and are like "lmao poo poo platter"

Geography wise, it's located in the salad section with the dressings.

Here I think you are much more likely to get soy sauce, but also the red sweet and sour sauce with most chinese take out which I think tastes gross, and I would rather have the egg roll plain then use that.

The hot mustard is definitely the superior choice but typically I feel like you have to ask for it or they won't bother, but they generally have some.

It's gotta be a 50/50 mix of duck sauce or preferably the sns sauce that looks like duck sauce (not the red) and hot mustard.

That's ideal.

if you're at a place that has the pink sauce you more often see at hibachi places ("yumyum sauce" or as I once heard, "chinese ketchup"), then applying a big line of that and a big line of mustard along the top is PRISTINE

Run away before you drown!

Truly miss Sizzler buffet's, but specifically for the corn nugget/fritters and pudding selection.

Oh man, whatever they injected into that deep fried ball of creamed corn was just delightful.

I remember Rax, a roast beef place like Arbys, having a taco buffet. I always liked the Pizza Hut buffets, especially when they did wings. The chicken alfredo pasta was pretty good. It seems like every couple years I come across a KFC lunch buffet, probably overdue for one. Need to travel more I guess.

Who else's parents used to say you were below the children discount age when you obviously weren't? No one ever questioned it but man I was embarrassed every time.

I never even heard of Rax until I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEcz8I64Mz0

There was a great buffet nearby called Teppanyaki that closed down over covid. Nowadays if I want a buffet, I have to go to a famously bad one. There is a great Indian place nearby which I guess is buffet style but I don't think that counts?

i posted about this place in the Americana thread. it's a place i used to go to a lot as a kid and i have fond memories of it even though the food was almost certainly terrible. it's still exists, but only just. living on borrowed time. i'm surprised it survived covid honestly.
