Trash taste can’t have a single episode without talking about food and I live for this

[@tvtvtfan3767]

My family owns a buffet and omg some people just slab everything together like a mountain. Like dude you can go back.

[@Meh_Lone_Bah]

Reminds me of Dick and Jane, it is a movie where the couple lost their income and had to resort to eating at buffets that only charge you per a plate and they stacked it up high XD

[@leonie7638]

I do that...cause I don't wanna walk twice....but then I have to do it anyway cause I eat like 4 plates full of stuff

[@JM-ys5vx]

I personally do that to visualize everything I'm going to eat, and usually only get food once. I don't let it get ridiculous and spill everywhere tho.

[@YEP753]

i think personally From experience the reason why they do that is because Theres this pressure that u get this amount of food thats it And if u go back and get it over and over you'd be viewed as a greedy person

[@tvtvtfan3767]

Oh know they still go a couple of times. They waste a lot of food.

[@ProxymanDerk]

Mexicans do be crying for that "tortilla" pronuntiation. Me dueles Connor

I love that we get to see the good kind of American culture shock for once when Garnt and Connor first hear about the high-end Vegas buffets. "$80-90 for a buffet?!" "What, do you get like sirloin steak on demand?!" "Uh yes." "Oh ok"

[@MrMiniMoose99]

@@RexZShadow Without being too intrusive did you try various kinds of just beer? Cognac is a Brandy, which is a fruit based spirit.

[@gabetalks9275]

I used to work at Panera, and they give away all of the leftover food every Sunday to a homeless shelter run by a Church. It's really nice considering that all of the food is thrown out every other 6 days of the week.

[@sechabatheletsane9784]

Lol😂😂

[@RexZShadow]

The thing with food waste is just always logistics, cost more to give it to someone then trash it

[@kabob21]

The biggest issues are either health codes that prevent giving away fresh prepared food past their sell-by time or that places like homeless shelters don’t have the capacity to either store/refrigerate the food or distribute it before it goes bad.

[@specialknees6798]

I’m a Texan and evidently Meilyne is more American than me since I haven’t heard of 90% of the stuff she referenced

[@Nox-q8k]

[@Commander034]

Left over buffet food in Las Vegas is not thrown out! It is sold to pig farmers in the area who use it to feed their pigs.

[@chikasnotmadjustdisappoint6266]

Buffet pants are such an American thing. Even as an American, I'm taken aback by how gluttonous we can be at times.

[@skaicentral3790]

This is the first I've Heard of buffet pants I don't think everyone does this

[@chazkm]

@@skaicentral3790 basically you just wear your most loose fitting jeans when going to a buffet. It's something you do without even thinking about it

[@olivinemage4233]

Buffet pants are actually the bomb tho. Especially for people like me who normally wear really tight pants. Buffets and big family events like Thanksgiving and Christmas make wearing tight pants really uncomfortable by the end of the night. So stretchy pants are the heckin best on these rare occasions.

[@kurousagi8155]

I’ve never heard of buffet pants, but this is the best idea I’ve ever heard. I’m going to get some oversized sweat pants before the next time I do a buffet.

[@ianstiehl1994]

I don't have special pants...I just undo the belt and buttons

[@panwall1327]

Meilyne gets it. A buffet pass would be amazing, even just for a day

[@susanblamire4014]

This was 20 years ago but a high end hotelrestaurant in Cambridge MA (US) used to send all of it's left over brunch items to a local homeless veterans shelter. That was a $65 per person in the 90's

[@hieinh]

In New Hampshire, They have a law where you have to get a new plate every time you go back at a buffet. It makes sense from a sanitation standpoint

[@Ash_Wen-li]

I'm not a big fan of buffets myself. But I do want to try a few in Vegas

[@JohnDoe-wx2oo]

Mayleen is a great addition to the podcast i think. But... How do you eat at multiple buffets one after the next? Might as well stay at one and eat until you're sated, especially if there's no time limit

[@BabyfaceMilan99]

Connor here getting surprised by $40-$50 buffets when he and Chris indulge in heart attack all you can (or can't) eat for who knows how much

[@XenonKirito]

Hotpot buffets can be different. Depending on the restaurant itself either you ask them to serve you the meats or you pick them yourself. It's not just one thing. It's the same for BBQ buffets. Buffets can be priced different. Las Vegas is known to be a very expensive place. So it's obvious that most of the buffet places cost at least 80-100$ per pax

[@400cabal]

I like how Meilyne just lists all possible buffets Connor could have gone to like she's been there a dozen times

[@realkingofantarctica]

But no matter where you go, they'll always have Tikka Masala.

[@Mrrandom214]

What, i want those buffets with tikka masala

[@TheCreepypro]

disclaimer as a person who lives in america buffets aren't that expensive here san fransisco and las vegas are among the most expensive cities to live in everywhere else buffets are much cheaper also the best buffets to me are chinese buffets because they have all the western food and eastern food you can get just about anything there and they cook the western food better too if you ask me

[@animeakusei87]

Indian Buffets are incomplete without Paneer lmao.

[@sueKay]

Me: Is eating a lot of buffet food really a college thing? Also me at uni: Living on Pizza Hut Pizza Buffet and China Buffet King I miss my uni days even if my stomach doesn't!

[@Jonalith]

Interesting fact, the buffets in vegas actually send that food at the end of the day to be used as pig slop.

Garnt or Connor saying "Tackoes" is like nails of a chalk board for me.

[@MoltenMouseMetal]

A well-executed buffet that's attended by chefs / cooks making fresh, smaller portions is in a different league from the ones that put out huge trays of cheap foods to sit under lamps for hours.

[@suijin25]

I live in Boston and there is an all chocolate buffet here. Everything chocolate, all forms, and nothing else.

[@LockheedMartinEnjoyer]

Some buffets do make you pay for wasting food to here in the US.

[@DarkResign]

[@benkoskinen3871]

[@Lekirius]

Topi Karttunen Haven’t stayed at a hotel for almost two years bcs of covid damn I miss that.

[@Meh_Lone_Bah]

Also, the cost would be worth it if the food selection they have is something you would enjoy eating. My brother loves the desserts and would want to go any buffet with a variety of foods but also a huge dessert area. My parents and I love seafood. But it is often hit or miss with seafood. The expensive ones like Las Vegas is worth it, but if we don't crave seafood that much, we can downsize and go to a buffet that still has variety for a good decent price. I did not like Wicked Spoon bc the food was just too much experimental for me, such as bone marrow. But my parents loved the different foods compared to other casinos. They may see that buffet price as worth it but for me since I can't eat as much food there, then it is a waste of money and I would rather go to Caesars palace or Winn buffet

[@Animefreakess]

My experience with Buffets in England are weddings. They were the standard for weddings in my social class...

[@DaxtotheMax479]

[@liamrodgers48]

The Brazilian ones are good, they bring over different types of meat to the table for you to take and you can also go and get cards and stuff in the traditional way, they cone to your table every few minutes too so you won't run out of meat.

[@spareumbrella8477]

Even £15 is a lot. There's a buffet near me where in the afternoon it's £7 and in the evening (where there's a bigger selection) it's like £9. The food's never gonna win any awards, but it's tasty enough.

i think i got the buffet pants from some cartoon i dont remember well

[@MySkilletfan]

That does sound like an American buffet Connor.

[@s.trombone1355]

I'm pretty sure there's more to a lawsuit than that and it's not illegal to give the food away. It just costs the company more money to donate it and they are all about saving that dough even if it means throwing away food. Many Americans do have the idea it's illegal due to propagated lie spread on the internet and company's like people to think that way so they don't have to go through the tiny bit of extra effort

[@KleioChronicles]

I’m from Scotland and I’ve never come across and buffet that isn’t Indian or Chinese food. And it’s the shit greasy kind too. I saw one buffet with some pizza but that paled in comparison to the 20 odd vats full of Indian curries. It sucks because I hate all Indian and most Chinese food (even the stuff I had in China I hated - aside from the UK sweet and sour chicken or crispy shredded beef in honey chilli sauce). If it were a Japanese buffet it would be amazing. Yo!Sushi has those conveyor belts but it’s bloody expensive for each dish considering the size of them. You end up spending £60 per person even if it is healthier than spending £20 at Pizza Hut. Their strawberry cheesecake mochi is the best mochi I’ve had so far. Nippon Kitchen in Glasgow is my favourite restaurant and their teriyaki duck is to die for.
