my focus is on these desserts and how

play05:03

information to leave a review

play05:09

[Music]

play05:13

I'm on the move baby look if I'm gonna

play05:16

do this I gotta be inconspicuous

play05:24

fun like a fun person this is the next

play05:27

restaurant I'm going to it literally has

play05:29

the lowest reviews I've ever seen

play05:31

and the crazy thing is the five star

play05:33

reviews seem sarcastic like they don't

play05:36

seem sincere MSC possibly Emma

play05:39

Chamberlain said three mice crawled up

play05:41

her shoulder and threw down five stars

play05:43

so at this point I don't know who to

play05:44

trust also there's only one question and

play05:46

answer on the L page and it's this

play05:48

question how is the sanitation answer

play05:50

awful there are rats hanging from the

play05:53

ceiling

play05:55

what what does that even mean

play05:58

let's get to Miami

transitional element in the video at

large because I didn't know how to move

play09:00

on to the next segment of where I'm kind

play09:01

of not at the restaurant anymore so this

play10:40

finished my entire portion in five

play10:42

play11:28

entire time that my husband and I

play11:30

literally had to text each other to

play11:31

communicate one star that's insane there

play11:35

are three cars here how loud could it be

play11:37

in there regardless I'm going inside and

play11:39

leaving a five-star review

play11:42

I walked in didn't see a single person

play11:44

nobody thought it was closed actually a

play11:47

few minutes later somebody took me to a

play11:48

table but no one was here again needless

play11:51

to say this place was empty like empty

play11:55

uh I feel like a loser in here as if it

play11:59

didn't feel empty enough literally the

play12:01

wall art is just more Empty Tables whose

play12:03

idea was that what's happening I looked

play12:05

over the menu a bit unsettled on you

play12:07

guessed it mozzarella sticks I also

play12:10

ordered a one pound ribeye steak okay

play12:12

I'll get the rib eye screw it I just

play12:14

spent so much money

play12:17

you guys got to get a load of these

play12:18

mozzarella sticks

play12:20

[Music]

play12:21

what

play12:23

[Music]

play12:33

now these are handmade these are

play12:35

actually the best mozzarella sticks I've

play12:37

ever had I've eaten mozzarella sticks

play12:38

since I was like a baby like this is my

play12:40

primary food source for the past 20

play12:42

years 12 bucks for this

play12:45

I licked the cheese straight off my

play12:46

fingers and took a trip to the bathroom

play12:49

toilet works that's good but when I wash

play12:51

my hands I got absolutely blasted by the

play12:54

water pressure of this sink

play12:55

while I was in the bathroom all of my

play12:57

food arrived Magic

play13:00

[Music]

play13:07

something crazy with you guys as my

play13:10

Witnesses we saw that CJ was able to

play13:12

finish his food in 5 minutes and 11

play13:13

seconds well

play13:15

I'm gonna try to beat that I don't think

play13:17

I've ever finished eating a steak in my

play13:19

life much less in a time limit

play13:22

so with that being said roll the clock

play13:24

I'm coming for you CJ I got off to a

play13:27

really good start like I don't think

play13:28

I've ever eaten a steak this fast but

play13:30

then I started to really slow down quite

play13:32

a bit

play13:36

I'm out of breath

play13:38

I gotta call it this took me 48 minutes

play13:41

and 27 seconds to eat and I'm halfway

play13:43

the food was so good but I spent 62

play13:46

dollars and one cent yeah I think I'm

play13:48

ready to go

play13:50

to go

play13:52

to go box to go box to go drink

play13:55

I'm gonna leave a review now

play13:58

[Music]

play14:06

there's nothing like driving across

play14:07

state lines with a belly full of steak

play14:09

I'm still just confused how CJ ate all

play14:11

that food in five minutes it's gonna

play14:13

mess with me all night

play14:15

no information why why does no one have

play14:17

answers

play14:19

I need answers

play14:22

I woke up the next day and packed my

play14:24

bags for our next stop in Montana never

play14:26

been there before Helena I've actually

play14:29

always wanted to go to Montana and to

play14:31

play14:35

play14:38

play14:43

play14:59

Montana Legend y'all this is crazy I'm

play15:03

play15:05

play15:07

this is insane shout out to Brian up

play15:09

front with the voice it's a Durango

play15:11

thing you wouldn't get it

play15:14

I'm driving about an hour to an Asian

play15:16

buffet in the middle of rural Montana

play15:19

[Music]

play15:30

Asia Buffet

play15:32

if you look up the location furthest

play15:34

from Asia I'm standing on the exact

play15:36

coordinates I'm in Montana it smells

play15:39

good here but listen that's not why this

play15:40

restaurant is notorious okay it's

play15:42

notorious because apparently the owner

play15:44

kicks you out if you don't finish your

play15:46

meal and if you don't leave an extra tip

play15:47

on your way out he bans you for life

play15:50

sorry listen to what Barb had to say got

play15:53

kicked out because my five-year-old

play15:54

didn't eat all the food on his plate one

play15:57

star now that's scary I almost always

play15:59

miscalculate my desired portion size at

play16:01

buffets and if he has the audacity to

play16:03

kick a five-year-old out I mean I

play16:06

I don't know what I'm doing David said

play16:08

we've been going here since it first

play16:09

opened and tonight the owner tried to

play16:11

shake my pockets for tip and got mad at

play16:14

my baby because he didn't clear his

play16:15

plate completely I gave him a small tip

play16:17

because we literally serve ourselves and

play16:19

he told us we are banned for life one

play16:21

star

play16:23

what do you mean the owner tried to

play16:24

shake down your pockets David

play16:28

what do you mean David Jan is literally

play16:30

trying to organize a class action

play16:32

lawsuit against them for this stuff I

play16:34

mean these are not isolated incidents is

play16:36

the thing about it and finally Alexander

play16:38

said one of the worst buffets I've ever

play16:40

been to and just in case you missed that

play16:42

he said it again one star frankly this

play16:45

is the most scared I've been to enter an

play16:46

establishment

play16:48

ever

play16:49

I don't want to get banned from an Asian

play16:51

buffet in Montana connected to a Comfort

play16:53

Inn I don't want that on my resume

play16:54

that's why I went to an ATM before this

play16:57

and got a cash I got money I have to

play17:00

test these reviews so I'm gonna leave

play17:01

some food on my plate and I'm leaving

play17:03

the tip in the car so he thinks I didn't

play17:06

tip him but in reality I've got a crisp

play17:08

20 bill with Asia Buffet written all

play17:11

over it I literally wrote it on there on

play17:14

the bill all right guys

play17:17

let's do this

play17:18

[Music]

play17:21

so I'm walking into Asia Buffet with

play17:23

some serious fear and resentment towards

play17:26

whatever is going to happen in here

play17:32

I see the owner giving cookies to a

play17:34

small child can I get an instant replay

play17:36

on that this is the cutest thing I've

play17:37

ever seen it almost feels like a setup

play17:39

hello I'm just gonna get a table for one

play17:42

one yep

play17:44

okay I gave him a one dollar tip because

play17:47

there were some reviews saying that he

play17:48

gets upset at small tips he was so

play17:51

grateful but as soon as I walked to my

play17:52

table I started to realize the reviews

play17:54

might have some truth to them please

play17:57

take all you want but please eat what

play18:00

you take we reserve the right to refuse

play18:02

service to anyone help keep the

play18:04

environment a little Greener only take

play18:06

the napkins you need guys read between

play18:08

the lines everybody this owner is not

play18:11

tyrannical he's a a conservationist no

play18:13

but honestly I kind of understand what

play18:15

where he's coming from anyways I got a

play18:17

little Hong Kong beef orange chicken

play18:18

fried rice and this cute little cookie

play18:20

that's plate number one my first plate

play18:22

was actually really good I enjoyed the

play18:24

food thoroughly so I went back up for a

play18:26

second plate and in this moment I'm

play18:28

genuinely nervous I'm gonna miscalculate

play18:30

my portion size this time I tried the

play18:32

dumplings and chicken some more chicken

play18:34

and a bit of lo mein and yet again

play18:36

another yummy plate I'm going in for a

play18:39

third plate dessert I got a little bit

play18:41

more than I knew I could eat knowing

play18:42

that I had to leave some food on my

play18:44

plate to test this review the desserts

play18:46

were good they were now I left my cookie

play18:48

untouched and made sure that the owner

play18:50

could see it

play18:51

let's see what happens

play18:53

thank you have a good night you too

play18:55

bye-bye

play19:04

I am sprinting to get my tip I left food

play19:07

on my plate I only tipped one dollar and

play19:10

I have only seen kindness from this

play19:12

owner there's only one last thing to do

play19:14

at Asia Buffet in Montana grab a 20 with

play19:16

Asia Buffet written all over it

play19:19

okay I forgot to leave uh thank you so

play19:21

much no I

play19:26

[Music]

play19:36

[Music]

play19:43

it's okay thank you you wouldn't accept

play19:45

the tip

play19:49

that was the nicest man I've ever met

play19:53

everything they said about him was

play19:54

reversed I just put the 20 like on the

play19:56

counter and ran out this is why you

play19:58

can't always trust one star reviews okay

play20:00

it is probably so hard to run a buffet

play20:02

but that was a good one that was a good

play20:04

Buffet I've got I've got a review ready

play20:10

[Music]

play20:24

my stomach is actually just it's

play20:25

actually just it's oh I drove to the

play20:28

airport flew all the way home to Texas

play20:30

because I've got one more thing to do

play20:34

honey I'm home ah I don't know guys that

play20:37

just blew my mind that was the most

play20:38

wholesome thing ever almost as wholesome

play20:40

as this t-shirt two kittens wearing

play20:42

cowboy hats y'all I just did another

play20:44

howdy drop we've got this shirt the

play20:46

rules of the task force on the back and

play20:47

if you're a little bit more of a

play20:48

minimalist check out these huh yeah

play20:51

howdy howdy.com Link in description but

play20:54

guys the main reason I left to do these

play20:56

reviews is to get decorations for this

play20:59

room and I think I've got something

play21:00

perfect for that spot

play21:05

oh

play21:10
