Americans get excited about 7-Eleven food overseas because it's superior to what 7-Elevens typically offer here in the U.S. Just like McDonald's, one can only assume that 7-Eleven/Southland Corporation figures Americans aren't picky and will eat whatever swill they choose to sell, but customers in other countries have better palates and are more discriminating in their food choices. (Not to mention stricter food laws that often result in better product offerings.)

Melba is definitely the best buffet in Melbourne. Having said that, after living here for 20+ years, the buffet scene is super underwhelming compared to cities like Vegas, HK, Singapore, and South Korea. It's the reason I started watching Mike Chen in the first place, because he goes to buffets which are just spectacular compared to anything we have here.

@brioesque Ай бұрын

i was also kinda baffled by the 7 11 review but by the end i actually really like the appreciation for food shown. it's not the greatest food but it's still food and deserves some appreciation and respect. it's still nourishing and accessible. obviously a lot of ppl eat it and find it appealing, that shouldn't be looked down on just bc there's better food.

@jsw5798 Ай бұрын

Good to see you in Melbourne, been a huge fan of yours for years! With all due respect 7-11 food is absolutely trash here and overpriced, not even remotely comparable to the quality throughout Asia. I would suggest food from Woolworths Metro if you're looking for something close to decent convenience store level food. If you're still in Melbourne check out Glen Waverley, Clayton, Springvale and Box Hill for Asian cuisine, Box Hill especially has a lot of Xi'an restaurants. I see you're heading up to Sydney too, heaps of good Asian food there especially in the CBD around Haymarket area. If you visit the suburbs make sure to check out Burwood, Cabramatta, Strathfield, Eastwood and Chatswood there.
