Sounds good. Chinese food and a buffet just seem like a match made in
heaven.
I can't understand the crawfish, though. I saw them at at the Happy
Panda and thought "ewwww"......when I was a kid we used to catch those
nasty things out of the Missouri river. I can't imagine anyone eating
one : )

There's a Chinese buffet in our local "densely populated area" here. Not a
bad deal for about 10 bucks, plus beverage (no booze), tax and tip. All of
the food looked fresh and hot the few times I've been there. Pretty much
your standard "Chinese/American restaurant (note proper spelling) offerings,
except for the iced shrimp with a pretty decent cocktail sauce. The
all-u-can-eat shrimp are pants-on, shelled and cleaned and two-biters (large
enough to require to two bites to eat one). That's normal sized bites, not
Jerry going at a burrito bites. The $10.00 is worth it, just for the
shrimp. They also have burgers, hot dogs, fries and pizza (probably
frozen), cooked per order for kids. I don't know those prices. And they
usually have a buy one, get one 1/2 price coupon in the paper. Bobo
Bananaramabonobo would get a boner over that.
