Pair banned from all-you-can-eat restaurant for eating too much
 
Quote:

George Dalmon, a former rugby player, and his friend Andy Miles were banned from all-you-can-eat restaurant, Gobi, In Brighton, after the manager branded them "a couple of pigs".

The men would each eat five bowls of stir-fry during their regular meals at the Mongolian barbecue, which invites guests to create their own dishes from the buffet.

Diners are told they can request meals "as many times as you wish" for £12.

They ate there for years and never left a tip? If I were them I would be much more worried about what I had actually eaten - could be that they had been served some specials with extra greetings from the kitchen crew...:o

Though I must admit, that Jim and Herr Berbunch look pretty convincing with their masks on, I nearly didn't recognize them...:D

Hey! I can assure you that Jim and I have never been to Brighton together, or even eaten a meal together. But if we did, 12 bowls of stir-fry would be nothing, nothing I tells ya. :03:

If you're going to claim "All you can eat", then you set the tone for the place, and can't complain that someone eats all they can, pigs or not.

For my stag party we went karting then to an all-you-can-eat chinese restaurant - I filled up too much and struggled for the next few hours trying to drink, my glutony put a bit of a downer on the day. By the time I felt better it was almost kicking-out time. :cry:

From just reading the headline, I could have sworn this was going to be about the Southern U.S.

"All you can eat" means exactly that, no reason for the owner to complain - or he should change the motto.

Apart from that: a mongolian restaurant - what does he expect from his customers ? The owner can be happy if his 'customers' don't burn down the location, and take all the waitresses with them :haha:

Greetings,

This covers it. All you can eat is....all you can eat. If a guy is a bucket truck of stomach then expect to see the groceries disappear. The place should serve free hush puppies. Dump a bowl at every table. These things fill you fast!

I know you meant it as a joke but that statement would be considered racist by some.

Besides, "all you can eat" doesn't mean start eating right off the buffet table like these guys were doing.

Hello August,
oops you are right, no insult intended !
But i certainly meant the Mongols of the 'Golden Horde' back in the 13/14th century, or better what has been handed down to us, about Genghis Khan and their conquest :

Thanks and greetings,

These guys need to visit the US and hit up a Golden Corral the chocolate wonder fall would blow their minds.It is very easy to please those who crave mediocrity.Wonder how many snot rockets have been chocolate coated thanks to Golden Corral.

I never was a fan of buffet style joints to be honest unless it was a high quality set up which most cases its not unless your at Disney World or something like that tearing up the goat cheese in Norway Epcot style and your servers name is Knut. Only Scandinavia is allowed to have buffets.

By the way my job allows me to see inside lots of restaurants kitchens.

I always have been a firm believer that you're more likely to get sick from the hotel buffet than the little taco truck on the corner.

The hotel buffet doesn't care - they hire 18 year old kids doing a job they hate and the hotel knows they have a captive audience and they'll have customers no matter what. The local taco truck is usually run by someone who loves what they do and if it was making people sick, word gets around fast and they'd soon be out of business.

That is a very good point.
