    They should be forced to change their sign to:

    "ALL YOU CAN EAT, UNLESS YOU'RE A HUNGRY BASTARD".

    While it's from the dailymail they must have had a quiet news day to report this

    The amount of crap in that rag must mean that every day's a quiet news day to them.

    We drove around for hours looking for another all you can eat seafood restaurant.

    And when you couldnt find one?

    We went fishing...

    The ones that should be banned from these restaurants are those that fill up their plate too much and then can't eat everything on it after stuffing themselves.

    I always wondered why fat people are usually bastards. Must be linked or something.

    All you can eat restaurants and the Daily Mail have much in common, for one, they both have a tendency to produce a lot of sh!t.

    A story so uninteresting, you all clicked on a thread about it.

    That's the chance you take when you open up this kind of restaurant. I don't see the big ;) deal.

    It's because we're desperately unhappy people who eat to fill the void in our deep dark empty souls. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,761 ✭✭✭AgileMyth


    Fat people go mad for this ****. Two fat people I know had a contest to see who could eat more because they thought it was a sign of manliness.

    Fat people disgust me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    This is bad craic on behalf of the restaurant.... People go to an all-you-can-eat to pig out!

    How would we know what the story was had we not clicked on the thread? There should have been a Daily Mail warning in the title.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 31,117 ✭✭✭✭snubbleste


    I was more interested in the other story where a woman paid £520 for some meat at a self-service checkout, she entered her pin to pay by card and drove all the way home. It was only there she realised she'd paid too much and her excuse was she did not have her glasses with her.
    Glad I wasn't on the road that day.

    The thread title tells you what this thread is about.

    If you hover over the thread title, you can see that the OP links to a story in the Daily Mail but there's not a snow's chance in hell that I believe that would put anyone off opening the thread.

    People love to moan about the Daily Mail, as much as they love chocolate.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    They must not have been planning to get much customers in if the place was cleared out to the point no one else could get a look in because someone had 5 bowls full.

    I've always found the all you can eat thing to be a bit of a novelty in the UK, you get to try a a bit of a few different dishes but you don't really eat any more than you would just having a normal meal. You sort of feel obliged to go back for more but I'm usually full after the first bowl.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭geeky


    The ones that should be banned from these restaurants are those that fill up their plate too much and then can't eat everything on it after stuffing themselves.

    That drives me f***ing light as well.

    A place up the road from me put up a message that they'd charge people for taking the piss like that. Can't remember what system they devised. But lo and behold, the messing stopped.

    Bet you a Jimmy Changs that this pair indulged in that carry on.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    While these are clearly two fat bastards, £12 is pretty steep considering how cheap stir fry generally is to make.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic


    Mmmm All you can eat, My favorite restaurant is one of those, I love rolling out of it stuffed :)


    last time I was there, I got a free €5 bet for the casino. Won €85 will my free bet :)

    Why would I be wasting time hovering over a thread title when I can go straight in for the kill?

    I don't like the Daily Mail or chocolate.

    The most shocking thing about this story is that the bigger guy in the article is only 26


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    The article doesn't mention if it was 5 bowls each or 5 between them - I'd say I could still be hungry after 2.5 (reportedly quite small) bowls of stir fry, if the case is that it was between them.
    Fair bit of pigging out, but that is exactly the type of diner attracted by an all you can eat restaurant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,151 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec

    He only weighed 7 stone when he arrived with his garden fork and spade for a quick snack.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭sunflower27


    So, they were eating too much and are not allowed back!!!

    Five bowls appears to be all you can eat.... ever. :eek:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-19817457

    Two men barred from an all-you-can-eat Mongolian restaurant in Brighton say it was because they ate too much food.

    George Dalmon and Andy Miles, both 26, have visited Gobi, in Middle Street, twice a month for two years to take advantage of the £12 deal.

    But when they each ate five bowls from the buffet at their last visit, Mr Dalmon said they were called "filthy pigs" and barred by the "rude" manager.

    The restaurant's owners said they were fed up with their lack of manners.

    They accused the pair of pushing out other diners in their rush to get to the food.

    But former rugby player Mr Dalmon said: "As we were eating the last bowl, the owner came up and said never to come back again, we're disgusting, and we're eating him out of business, so we're nothing but filthy pigs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I'd say that restaurant will be dining out on the publicity for a long time.

    Beautiful place! Its pricey at €13/14 on a week night but worth it.

    When backpack traveling myself and friends used to satisfy our immense appetite by eating quantities of food, now I would deem impossible, and relish it. This is what all you can eat is about. Similar to a casino, over time the house always wins even if someone gets the jackpot. From the link just wondering if these guys were just bouldering pricks"pushing people out of there way". There was one place that used to wait in horror for us to arrive but were polite enough(for ex-military itching to show themselves(France)) with confusion and distain on their face. Used to make a point of going up and thanking them personally for their great service before I left.
