    Leave it to America to invent the most gluttonous dining experience of all time - the all-you-can-eat buffet. According to an analysis performed by The Hustle, the average buffet costs $20. For the customer, it’s a steal. But for restaurant owners, it's not so simple. So how do these remaining establishments without limits stay in business? And is it possible to outeat the cost of entry for an all-you-can-eat buffet?

    Sometimes the food can be bland. High end ones are nice but they don’t really seem to keep the food all that hot. Also, some people worry about sanitation.

    Pro tip: Head straight for the meat and skip the beverages.

      Beverages are necessary for dry bits and sodium. Otherwise, I usually hit the meats first.

    It's not always gluttony. Sampling and selection are fun too

    I haven't been to an "All You Can Eat Buffet" in a long time. Perhaps, I'm a bit overdue to do so.

    No, probably can't out eat an all u can eat buffet. But if someone else is paying? I'll try!

    Stop spamming ads to get views on your video. The only thing you are doing with that ad is making people hate your channel and content. The first time I've got the ad for this video it had 57k views and it is 2 days ago. Now it have 66k and don't tell me that it is normal when you have 9k subscribers. Stop buying views.

    Can people out-eat a buffet?
    Well, let’s see. You are telling us that the average buffet costs 19 in overhead, and they only charge 20, earning a dollar profit per customer. Do I think people can eat $1.01 worth of extra food? Yup.

  • @wheatie831
    @wheatie831 Před rokem +1

    Of course that price is for food only. Where they do get you is the tea, lemonade, fountain drinks and coffee while water is free.

    These ads that open CZcams are horrible. I’ll never watch this channel because of it. It’s a shame because your content may be decent.

    This ad is repetitive and annoying. I will stop playing this game if it doesn’t stop.
