Golden Corral: The Ribs Were Trash, the Chicken Slapped, and There's a Party Room!

🍽️ This Place Sure Had a Lot of Food Items Score a 1-out-of-10 🫠

This week, we return to Golden Corral - this time, to eat. Joined by comedian and podcast host Ben Cassil (@bencassil), I finally test the buffet itself, from rock-hard bread to surprisingly okay tacos. We found joy in the strawberry shortcake Fanta ICEE and the sheer chaos of none of the food being accurately labeled.

Also, someone talked to their mom on speakerphone…from the toilet. This one had layers.

🍖 Ribs That Made Us Regret Everything
🍗 Chicken Fried Chicken That (Kinda) Slapped
🍞 Bread So Hard You Could Knock on It
🧙‍♂️ An All-Senior Magic Show (Is *THIS* Your AARP Card??)
🕹️ Claw Machines Everywhere
🧊 Strawberry Shortcake Fanta ICEE = Low-Key Amazing
🚽 Maybe DON'T Make Calls from the Toilet?
📍 Yes, This Was All Inside a Former Circuit City (But Who Is the Dreamer?)
📊 Golden Corral's Final Score: Better Than Chili's?

💬 COMMENT BELOW: What's the wildest thing you've ever seen at a buffet?
