Chicken patrol. Tiny plates. Purses lined with plastic bags. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Endless Thread re-releases "All You Can Eat," an episode that peeks behind the curtain of the strange world of all-you-can-eat buffets, from the strategies buffet owners use to protect their profits to the hungry customers who try to game the system. Listen until the end for an update with Jordan, the Redditor and restaurant consultant featured in the original episode, to hear an insider's perspective on how the pandemic is changing the food industry.

Show Notes:

  • The post on r/LegalAdvice about a Redditor and their friends supposedly being kicked out of an all-you-can-eat buffet the staff thought they would eat too much.
  • A clip from The Simpsons with an almost exact plot as the post on r/LegalAdvice.
