A German triathlete was banned from an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant after eating nearly 100 plates of fish.

Jaroslav Bobrowski, an Ironman competitor, visited Running Sushi in Landshut, Bavaria last weekend for a never-ending meal.

LOL. This reminds me of an old fraternity story. One of my classmates, known as the "Squirrel," was about 6"3", loved to work out, had a superb physique, an appetite like a Hoover vacuum cleaner, and consumed at least 6,000 calories a day, all of which he promptly metabolized. He attended summer school for at least one of the summers while he was in school. At the time Ganiesburgers dog food had just come onto the market. Another brother, "Bucky," decided to have some fun and asked Squirrel if Squirrel wanted a hamburger. Squirrel happily and hungrily agreed. Bucky then cooked a Gainesburger for Squirrel, who wolfed it down and, when Bucky asked, said he wanted another. When told what he'd eaten, Squirrel didn't seem all all upset.

There used to be an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet around here that served crab legs in addition to the usual Chinese fare.

They went out of business because people would just eat the crab legs.

When I was in college, a few friends and I went to an all you can eat Sunday brunch. We were seated not far from the bar.

After we’d been there for about 3-4 hours, we all got up. When we came back with mounded plates, the bartender looked at us and said “you’re still here?”

Needless to say, we got our money’s worth.

This was around 1983. The meal was about $9 each which was a lot for college students so we were bound and determined to eat a lot.

Bobrowski, who works as a software engineer by day, follows an extreme diet where he does not eat for 20 hours and then eats “until I’m full,” The Local reported.

...

I’ve noticed a lot of stories about people doing this in the past year.

Ha! In 1980, three guys from my office were banned from such a restaurant. They would go out to lunch at noon, and come back at 2:30.

I don’t think “Running” should ever be in the title for anything to do with food.

One of the absolutely worst places to set up an all-U-can-eat buffet is a college town. You’re absolutely guaranteed to get far more than your fair share of “Squirrels” who’ll eat you into bankruptcy. The only thing worse would be an all you can drink beer bar.

I am sure he is a fine athlete but what makes him think he can drive a restaurant out of business?

“All You Can Eat” refers to normal patrons not unreasonable extremes.

Near where I once lived was a very large guy we called Foghorn. There was a Chinese restaurant around the corner that had an all you can eat wing night. He would go, eat all the wings, then sit down and wait for more to come out. He was always going around saying “I DROVE the Chinese lady CRAZY,” as if he was proud of it.

Golden Corral used to give you 3 different containers (the large dinner sized styrofoam box, the sandwich size container and a cup size container) for their $6 buffet “to-go”. It was surprising how much meat you could fit into all the containers. Could eat lunch all week long for $6.

They wisened up and weigh them now...

There’s been more than one brawl over crab legs in the buffet line before.

Perfect description of the Squirrel at a buffet.
