All you can eat

Many people believe that quality is one of the most important aspects of a meal. I am not one of those people. I think that when it comes to a good meal, the most important thing is quantity. The amount of food is directly related to my enjoyment of the meal and so it is more important than quality. I love nothing more than to go to an all you can eat night and gorge myself.

Recently I went to all you can eat ribs at Montana's (wednesday night). While the ribs were excellent, it was the quantity of the meal that satisfied me the most. Now, the danger of an all you can eat night is getting excited and eating too much too quickly. The secret is to pace yourself. I spent a good two and a half hours at Montana's and I managed to polish off nearly five racks of ribs. To give you an idea, there are usually 10-12 individual ribs on a rack. Needless to say I couldn't really do much after eating such a meal but was it worth it....oh ya.

More all you can eat adventures to come.
