I ate at that Hilton buffet between 15 and 20 years ago. Then, it was $50 for an adult. We thought that was pricey! I don't know what it's like now but, to this day, I consider that Hilton buffet as the best buffet I've ever been too... bar none!

For those trying to keep track, it was: 3 bacon wrapped scallops, 2 snow crab cluster, 2 tenderloin steak, 1 slice prime rib, 1 stuffed mushroom, 5 fried scallops, 3 fried shrimp, 3 peel and eat shrimp, 2 lobster fritter, 6 shucked oysters, sautéed garlic mushrooms, chocolate dipped strawberries and cherries, 1 cannoli, watermelon, fig, rambutan and lychee fruit. Oh and 9 whole lobsters. When Danny says he's a cheap S.O.B., he doesn't mean low quality or small quantity. He means getting his money's worth.

A perfect and utterly entertaining review. And I love your choice in b-roll music. Too many KZfaqrs play the worst, annoying music...I'm talking to you, UA Eats. Was at the Nordic a few years ago when it was about $115. Considering our ridiculous inflation, it hasn't gone up much. A 2½ pound lobster at The Palm in Manhattan over $100 with a side. When I was there I had 4 lobsters, 18 oysters, the colossal shrimp, a thicker piece of rare Prime Rib, mushrooms, and a cup of clam chowder. I didn't bother with any of the fried foods, sides or desserts. I was stuffed. The grounds and lake are magnificent. I put on my headphones, closed my eyes and listened to music. Then I walked 15,000 steps around the grounds in a futile attempt to walk-off my gluttony. The Nordic isn't a buffet, it's a fun excursion and experience. The only thing better than the food is the staff and management. I live in Manhattan and it took me less than three hours to drive there. Then I headed up to Fenway Park for a ballgame. Perfect!
