Mmmm oysters. How was the seafood? I remember catching a few lobsters when I was on PEI one year... they were so good... Now I'm hungry...

The seafood was surprisingly good for a buffet. I have very low expectations for buffets, but it was actually quite good. But granted, I did eat mostly things that are driven by their natural, uncooked flavors (sushi and raw oysters). For being in a land-locked city, it was surprisingly fresh. The fish was tender and firm, not overly mushy or spongy like fish that's not fresh.

They tend to send it from the east coast packed in ice for maximum freshness. Sounded like a great meal.

The most lobster I ate at one sitting was 6. The lobsters were about a pound each. After about the 4th one, it started to lose taste and felt like I was eating rubber. The waiter at the restaurant told me the record for the most lobster was 21.

Nope. Skinny. In fact, it's hard to find clothes that fit me well, because 90% are too wide, even in small. I have a short torso, wide shoulders, shortish arms, slim midsection. Typical Asian frame basically. The clothes for the typical American are either too long or too wide for me.

Here ya go:

Red Lobster, 253 shrimp.

Ate there when I lived in the Charlotte area, food was pretty good. Do yourself a favor and stay there until spring, it's cold as heck back here in Ohio.

Weaklings.

All at one sitting? Damn. I ordered chicken fingers from the appetizer menu at a restaurant once. It was $4.50, for 5 large pieces of chicken. I brought enough home from that for two more meals. The home fries that I had also ordered (from the appetizers) made up a fourth meal.
Low stomach capacity and appetite plus a fairly small overall body size means that my usual diet is about 1500 calories a day. :Q Sometimes forgetting to eat for 8hrs straight might also have something to do with it.
There's a reason I don't go to all-you-can-eat places. It's just not worth the money.

So you are fat? Congratulations.

Hmmm. thats a lot of food ,maybe we should all paypal you $1 far a "gorging" that
you could videotape. We would be like your sponsors and you would get a chance to
show off your gastrointestinal fortitude..

 

[DrPizza]

You did pretty good.

I remember a restaurant that during its final year, when it was desparate for new customers, had a huge seafood buffet on Friday nights. I took my wife, mother, and mother in law there for Mother's day. They vanished; I couldn't find them. When I returned to the table, they had salads that they were eating. I had 2 lobsters and a big hunk of prime rib, and questioned why they would eat salad at an "all you can eat lobster buffet!!" I ate more seafood at those buffets than at any time in my life since.

Start training for Nathan's Fourth of July International Hot Dog-Eating Contest. Enter the contest. Hopefully you take out Chestnut and Kobayashi. USA! USA! USA!

Afterwards, you'll undoubtedly take the biggest crap you've ever taken in your life. Go ahead and check it for splits. Make sure it's one solid piece. Call the people from the European Fecal Standards and Measurements Office in Zurich. Their number is listed on their Web site. It likely will be the biggest crap in history!

Whatever you do, keep at it! It's no fluke! There's something inside you that made you able to do it! You have a gift. Now who knows why God chose you, but he did! And if you walk away now, you'll always... wonder... how big a crap you could have taken!

What no scallops?

For people who keep thinking he's fat, skinny people can stuff themselves more. They don't have all that blubber pushing on their stomach and it can stretch more.

 

[fuzzybabybunny]

Throw a couple scallops in there. It was pretty bad - they were baked with cheese and the cheese flavor overloaded the delicate flavor and texture of the scallops.

Can someone answer me this? How in the hell can these guys be profitable? They offer fresh sushi, raw (fresh, just shucked) oysters, crab legs, and a whole bunch of fresh fish and large shrimp in addition to your standard beef and chicken and whatever. They even have prime rib and escargot. They charge $18.

I just got back from Charleston, right by the coast, and the cheapest I saw oysters on the half shell being sold for was at Happy Hour at a restaurant for $4 for 10. So each oyster is 40 cents. I ate 65 oysters at the buffet, so at 40 cents each I would have ate $26 dollar's worth of oysters alone, not counting all the other stuff that I ate. I think I got a $40+ meal for $18. I feel like in order for the buffet to have been profitable, they would have needed to get their oysters for at least 20 cents each...

I just don't understand how these places can be profitable... do other people really eat so little to balance off the big eaters like me?

 

[Scarpozzi]

Wow....think about the starving geeks in the midwest.

Thats quite a bit of seafaring critters to digest in one sitting.

My friends and I like to indulge in the 10lb box of alaskan king crab every few months.

Cholesterol? Yes, indeed. Is it worth every goddamned second? You better believe it.

 

[Kerouactivist]

For those of you in the Cincy area... The Sheraton hotel in Sharonsville/ North Cincy right across from the convention center had a very similar deal their on a certain nite of the week.....

Not as much stuff as the OP was talking about but things like Alaskan King Crab already broken straight in half so all you half to do you scoop it out...... Jumbo shrimp....really neat soups and salad items that were really unusual for buffets as well.....not to mention mussels, scallops, oysters, etc.....really tasty

I swear last time I was in cincy for a convention I thought I was going to put that place outta business in one setting.... The sesame seared tuna was the shit too.....

I think it was like $20 and on thursday's I could be wrong though....
If they still have it I'm doing it again next year for sure.... Come on King Crab already cracked it half ready to eat!!!

 

[fuzzybabybunny]

Going to the buffet again! I'll try and take pictures

 

[fuzzybabybunny]

updated with second time

 

[everman]

Wow, ready for that 72oz steak with all the trimmings?

 

[fuzzybabybunny]

Ugg, I don't think so. GOOD food I can stuff down, but that steak is not going to be that great halfway through. Like some have said, I'd rather enjoy the taste of my meal than eat as much as possible. If the challenge was something like eat 8 lobsters prepared 8 different delicious ways, then hell yes. But a single steak that CAN'T be prepared all that well? I'll pass...
