I think it goes back to my childhood.
My parents were missionaries and when you went to someone house they would offer you food and you had to accept. You did not serve yourself you ate what ever they gave you in the amount they gave you. Clean plate. Because we were bigger then they were we would get served big heaping piles of food. Tasty but choking it down could be a real chore. And they would stand around and watch you eat.
It apparently flipped a switch somewhere in our brains because as a family we tend to eat until we are full and then stop. That is the real treat.
I worked in a buffet restaurant when I was in high school.
Amazing that I didn’t get to 300 pounds.
Most media sites let you return to the trough if you simply clear their cookies. A fee are more tenacious.
And no, I am over here being taxed to death in CT, not in the area.
Uh...not in our house. ;)
“I think the casinos figured out that people would come and lose their money anyway, so they raised the food prices.”
That is how I see it. I go sometimes twice a year for the SEMA show and CES. It is difficult to find healthy reasonably priced food in a hotel casino if you are not into the buffet.
