Wow, that actually sounds kind of awesome. But what good is it if I can't get INFINITE DOUBLE-DOWNS?

(actually haven't tried even one, they also sort of terrify me, but the thought just blows my mind)

Buffets in general out where I live on the west coast are generally amazingly hard to come by. They were all over every place I lived in the Midwest. I think there's only a Sizzler here in town. A couple towns over there are some scattered chinese buffets, but they are... I keep using words like this but I mean it, truly horrific. Like, every single surface is covered in a thick layer of grease, and they're always insanely crowded and very loud. The closest one I went to I watched from my table this unattended little kid at the dessert table get a big blob of green jello on his plate, slorp all that was left off the serving spoon, and stick it back in the bin!

Other than that I think there's a reasonably well-kept Hometown Buffet about 40 minutes away, which is also insanely crowded often, but their food is usually at least passably fresh and the at least place is very clean and pretty well-stocked. Oh, and there's Fresh Choice, which is my favorite - soup and salad buffet. Always fresh, cold or hot as appropriate, meticulously clean and stocked with as many locally-sourced ingredients as possible, nutrition information readily posted, and really good overall price.
