    I was in a chinese buffet place in France once where the menu said there was a €5 charge for unfinished plates. Great idea I thought, until I took a big plate of "chicken skewers"...except they weren't, they were frogs legs. They looked really similar though. It was kind of like greasy chicken so wasn't too bad, better than paying €5 to not eat them anyway!

    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.

    Well, those two should, but why fat people in general?

    In fairness, the Daily Mail is an awful rag.

    All tabloids are rags, DM is no different.

    Would safely say, more threads are started on AH with DM links, than any other newspaper, yet it's frowned upon like no other also.

    Yes, all tabloids are rags.

    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.

    That's the thing, how high were they piling their bowls?

    Damn Mongolians

    One of the comments on the page sums it up
    If you run a trough, you can't complain when a pig turns up.

    The food in all-you-can-eat places is usually terrible. Gloopy congealed sauces laden with MSG and sugar to mask the lack of taste from the cheap meat and vegetables used. False economy as well. All-you-can-eat rarely means good value.

    If the place is anything like the Mongolian Barbecue just off of Dame Street in Dublin, I'd be in complete shock if they could eat more than one bowl. I can't even finish one bowl in that place and I'm not skinny!

    To be honest, it sounds like the manager didn't have much of a problem with them eating all they liked, as he allowed it for 2 years. If somebody was pushing customers/diners out of the way in order to race to get more food, I'd sure as hell kick them out, too.
