All you can eat

So yesterday, thanks to the generosity of our grandmother, my brother and I ventured out to a nice Japanese restaurant. We decided on the "all you can eat" option instead of the "bento", and in the end quite enjoyed our meal. We got to cook some meat ourselves, and pretty much tried one of everything from the menu (and had to hide some of the extra food so that we wouldn't get charged extra... ahem!), but ever since I've been thinking of the pros and cons. Let me know if you have any thoughts to add!

Pros:
  • You get to eat a LOT
  • You get to try many different kinds of sushi, many of which you wouldn't normally go for, and maybe discover a new favorite!
  • It's fun, especially when you get to cook some of the stuff yourself!
  • You sort of feel like a king (well, I do anyways)

Cons:
  • It's more expensive, and you feel as though you have to get your money's worth, and so...
  • You eat more than necessary, and as my brother pointed out, it gets a bit more painful towards the end
  • With sushi, this isn't too problematic, but at a Chinese Buffet, you get stomach-aches from all that oil
  • Your pants typically feel tighter afterwards
  • You may end up eating stuff you don't really like
So 4 to 5, but weights are different... Maybe it's just because I'm not somebody who eats that much in general. Oh! I just had a thought: all you can eat desserts... now that's something I would go for!
