Wow. The chain has closed and I guess any buffet style restaurant is about to go down too because of this loving virus. In a lot of ways I feel like I’m in a simulation or dead. 6 years ago I had a widow maker and they were going to intubate me when I started having fluid in my lungs from heart failure. They tied my hands down and I screamed for them to not do it since I believed then that I’d die not being able to say any last words. They untied me and put me on Lasix instead. Maybe I really am on a respirator or dead and this is all a dream of sorts. https://people.com/food/souplantati...impression=true

Used to take my kids to the one in Porter Ranch in Los Angeles. They were 2 and 4 at the time. They are now 19 and 21 now and every two weeks I would visit them and we more times than not came here to eat since it was good healthy food. I remember grossing them out by putting ketchup on their delicious Mac and cheese. Their mushroom soup was amazing as well as their chili bean soup (put onion and cheese on it and corn bread).

interwhat posted:Is this relevant outside of Los Angeles? Actually, yes. You can expect buffet-style restaurants in general to go tits up in the wake of Corona. Forget six feet, you can't get people to stay six inches apart when they want their endless gravy fountain. And any hotel or restaurant with a salad bar or any other serve yourself section is going to have to turn it into a planter.

Haha, Souplantation? That's a dumb name. Never heard of it. Guess I don't have to-quote:All 97 locations of Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes Oh no. Oh no! Piggy Smalls posted:Its called Sweet tomatoes in the other shittier states It's called that in the rest of California, too. Well. It was called that.

My girlfriend is from Southern California and she raves about this place occasionally. She talks about how awesome the salads and soups are. I've never been anywhere out west though. Oh well... The name is hilarious garbage anyways.

I have seen Sweet Tomatoes and never been in, but how did a place called Souplantation survive until 2020 in the first place? I guess select clientele who knew what they wanted. A taste of the old South.

In the Atlanta-area 'burbs they were called "Sweet Tomatoes" too and like...if there's any place they could have marketed a "buffet with plantation in the name", it would have been "to the white people living OTP-Atlanta suburbs." Any time I went there (as a kid/didn't have a say in the matter) it massively gave me the shits in a way that should be completely out of the question when the meal is 85% vegetables.

other people posted:im weird and always avoid eating at buffets and potlucks and poo poo like that so this doesn't effect me OP 37% of packaged food is repurposed from buffets and then sold to the consumer at considerable markup. At best you're getting it cheaper and handled/touched far less and in much more sanitary conditions at a buffet than waiting to see what it becomes after. hth

I have $200 in Sweet Tomatoes giftcards. Welp, that was a poor investment. I'm really just sad to see it go because most of my family is vegetarian and this was one of the most vegetarian friendly places in my area.
