So many I saw there were quite corpulent.
I was on assignment with my team in Indianapolis and the local buffet was featuring crabs for the first time. 8 of us went with me being the smallest of the group at 225 pounds, the largest, Tiny pushing 400.
We got in, sat down to talk some business, but first “tiny” had to do a survey the buffet and devise a strategy for us. Like any good plan, after the first shot is fired the plan goes in the crapper. All of us got up and went to the seafood. Shrimp, clams, mussels, our 1 lobster allocation, crab, oyster and crawfish serving trays were decimated. The one person on the team who didn’t eat seafood got yelled at because he went for the steak.
Round two didn’t look much better. Tiny waited at the buffet for the Crab serving tray to come out. I remember a television documentary about an island where the Sharks just hang out waiting for the seals to jump in the water. This was Tiny’s shark moment. The tray came out, Tiny walked over to the now scared kitchen worker and removed the tray from his hands. He walked back over to our table, put the tray down and the carnage continued.
Round three featured several senior citizens and the manager asking us to politely eat something different as it was Friday night and these people are regulars. We did remind them that up to this point we haven’t touched the various varieties of fin fish they had presented. We went back to our meeting.
We did enough damage for one night so when the meeting concluded, everyone pretty much grabbed dessert, some other things and Tiny asked if he could take the remaining 3 lobsters.
11 bucks a person. Was a good deal.
All you can eat generally leads to all you can weigh.
Watch out using them ugly words!! - I have THEOBROMINE
problem. Can’t eat shellfish. The last two fried shrimp I
ate gave me a horrible migraine. That was years ago. :o(
