He kept things positive, but i got the vibe that the buffet was a disappointment for him.

@UltimateGamerCC 20 күн бұрын

definitely a unique and tasty buffet, but probably didnt measure up to his expectations, considering the pricing and the reserve nature of the buffet.

@nervousbabbs2769 20 күн бұрын

Yeah I wouldn't eat anything else after seeing undercooked meat.. My traumatic experience with food poisoning outweighs my want for buffets.

For being "Over the top" it's oddly deserted. Either someone is excited or they keep the AC on blast.
