The Best Buffet Ever.

“Hey guys, wanna go to the Cannon Center for lunch?  Our treat.”

Music to my ears.  The aunt and uncle wanted to hit up the dorms (that I used to live in) cafeteria because let’s just say that their buffet is 32 times better than the best foods of Chuck-a-Rama and Golden Corral combined.

The best little shrimps were placed in between each layer of produce in my salad and topped with poppyseed dressing.  Yep, this is my dream salad.  Especially with mint hot chocolate on the side.  I was chilled to the bone after the race.

In case you were wondering we did go to lunch in full costume (hat included) and I saw an old student that is now in college….she was a little embarassed when I started talking to her.

My uncle definitely wasn’t hungry at all and did not get his money’s worth.

This really is an image of my waffle from yesterday and not some picture taken off the internet by googling, ‘something that Buddy the Elf woud eat.’

The baby food looking thing in the back was a curry potato soup that was incredible.  I pretty much love anything curry.

I would eat one bite of the hot food and then one bite cold food because the soup made me hot….it was a beautiful cycle.

And for dinner…..we had pizza.  All of us are too sore to cook.  At least I am pretty sure I met my veggie quota for the week.  It kind of looks like that piece of green pepper is floating?

The Billy and my nephew spent the night playing video games while I finally watched Kim Kardashians wedding on TV.  All I have to say is that Chloe is and always will be my favorite especially because Lamar is hilarious too.

Buffet fan?  Do you have a favorite buffet?

What race were you most sore after?

-I think my first marathon….I didn’t walk for a day.

What did you do last night? Anyone else watch Kim’s wedding (I know, this is old news but not to me:)?

Mmmmmm pizza

I’ve watched most of Kim K’s wedding, but I keep missing bits and pieces. I hope that her husband isn’t as big of a jerk as the show is making it look. Bad editing, perhaps??

And your waffle totally looks like something I would eat … while my husband shakes his head in embarrassment! ;)

Wanna go for waffles together and our husbands can go for steak or something;)

Reply

Haha sounds like the perfect plan to me! :)

Buffets are a serious test of restraint for me but I love em, especially brunchy ones. My fave bit is unsurprisingly all the mini desserts!

Reply

I think this one takes the cake for soreness actually. The downhill didn’t hurt at the time, but last night and this morning – ouch! Totally worth it though!

Reply

SERIOUSLY….I can barely walk today ha! Billy is the same way and we keep making fun of each other and kind of pushing each other over!

Reply

I love breakfast or brunch buffets or a huge salad bar!!

I was the most sore after the marathon too. If I sat for more than 10 minutes at a time the next day I would seize up. Its been a week and they finally feel back to normal!

I LOOOOOOVE buffets in an embarrassingly enthusiastic capacity… There’s a Chinese buffet near my apartment that includes all you can eat crab legs, but it gets really competitive… people stand around holding the tongs and waiting for the trays to come out… intimidating…

If you ever come to NYC, YOU MUST come visit the Wafels & Dinges truck- my husband is a manager there, and they’re the world’s best wafels for ever and ever. I will treat you to one! :)

Reply

haha I like Khloe too. She’s hilarious!

Holy Moly. The waffle and soft-serve amazing. Food Coma. Love Sweet Tomatos Buffet out West for the mega veggies and unlimited soft-serve…we don’t have it on the East Coast…or basically any breakfast buffet in DISNEY..for the mini waffles and omelette MAN

THE HOT bite and COLD bite sounds satisfying..reminds me of when in middle school one of my friends and I mushed an ice cream sandwich on pizza and it was definitely a hot and cold ordeal..

Kardashian Wedding I have seen a million times and it gets better every time.

Reply

I have never been to Sweet Tomatoes but I think I NEED to go NOW!!! I haven’t been to a Disney bfast buffet either, I am MISSING OUT!! Pizza and ice cream sandwich…..WOW!
I hope you are having an amazing day Brittany!

I don’t like buffets at all. I prefer restaurants with a small menu that specialize in something, so that they really hone the flavors of specific dishes; I find that buffets are lacking in quality.

Reply

Wow that made me sound like a turd. Not intended!

Reply

Whatever…no turdness at all! Restaurants that specialize in something are ALWAYS the best. Although, all you can eat froyo is amazing:)

Reply

I have STILL not seen K. Kardashian’s wedding…I kinda want to, but I’d have to do it when Travis wasn’t around…he’d make fun of me.

Reply

Billy refuses to watch the Kardashians too!! He can’t stand them!

Reply

I love the Kardasians! Khloe is hilarious!
I’m not a huge fan of buffet’s. It freaks me out that the food has been sitting there for who knows how long. But I might make an exception if I could get a waffle like that!

Reply

LOVE buffets!

I wasn’t that sore after my first marathon. I think it’s my super power that I don’t really get sore. Best super power ever!

Last night, Mike and I camped out on the couch with a fire and watched Netflix instant.

We used to be fans of Golden Corral. But I am just not a buffet fan anymore. EXCEPT the buffet at Paris in Las Vegas. Especially the champagne brunch buffet!
Most sore after the Disney Princess Half I think. But add in being sick AND walking around the Disney parks and it all probably just added up.
Last night we went out for wings and then watched Resident Evil: Extinction. After my hockey team went down by 4 goals.

That pepper does look like it’s floating. I love salad bars! The best. Khloe is my favorite too, she’s too hilarious. I saw Kim’s wedding but not the whole thing. Love that show though. have a great day!

Reply

I do loveee buffets! Well as long as you can tell the food is good quality, otherwise it’s kinda nasty! haha But this place looks wonderfully tasty

Reply

I love salad bars! So it depends on the type of buffet ;) Or breakfast buffets, they have to be my fav!
I was probably most sore after my first marathon too, I was able to walk but with extreme soreness and I walked very funny.
We went to a Halloween party and get this didn’t come home to 1am! haha That used to be “early” but now its very late for us!

Reply

Mmm, mint hot chocolate sounds amazing!

My favorite buffets are breakfast buffets–unlimited waffles? Heck yes!

I was most sore after my first half marathon! Tight muscles galore!

Last night we went to my parent’s house for dinner, opened our wedding gifts, celebrated my brother in law’s birthday, and ate apple crisp with ice cream!

Reply

Khloe & Lamar are my favorite too! I think she is the most real..and I love Lamar- he’s hilarious!! Reminds me of Craig a bit, just because he’s so goofy…and well, he always has gas- HAHA :D

Reply

whoa that salad looks epic! well, of course it does. you would never eat a salad that wasn’t epic. And I love the waffle as well, chocolate and syrup are a great combo. I actually think I was sorest after my conference championship 10k in college – short, fast races are harder on me than the long ones!

Reply

Hey- I totally lived in Helaman Halls my freshman year! Long before you were there, though :). Yay Super Stover! I haven’t been back to the Cannon Center in FOREVER.
Buffets are great for us- since we have lots of kids and I love to eat! Salad and breakfast buffets are my favorite!
My calves are kinda sore today- but I was the most sore after my first marathon this past May at Ogden. My quads were dead!
I still haven’t watched Kim’s wedding- but Khloe is my favorite sister, too.

Reply

ummm i kinda suck at life and have never even heard of the cannon center!?! haha. i need to go there obviously!!

Reply

Hey, I was so excited when I saw you running. Your costume looked awesome! I also saw Billy at mile 12 and he was so nice and polite when I told him how I loved your blog, and then when I read it and saw he was hurt I felt so bad for bugging him! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one sore from that race. Haven’t watched the wedding…yet.

Reply

KENDRA!!! I wish that we could have talked. That is awesome that you saw billy and he loved talking to you!!! Do not feel like you bugged him, it made him happy! CONGRATS on St. George!! We should go for froyo!

Reply

I just have to share that I literally LOLed at your “Buddy the Elf Waffle!” At first, I was vaguely disgusted at the thought of eating it, but the longer I stare at it, the better it starts to look… Hmm…. *wanders off to find candy and waffles* :)

Reply

I love a salad buffet with lots of options. I would say Jason’s Deli is my favorite. I don’t know if they have that in Utah, but it is amazing.

I also was so out of the loop about the wedding, but loved watching it when I was in the states. Over the top, but too fun not to watch.

Reply

It is a tie between my first marathon or my first half Ironman(it was a crazy hilly course).
I still haven’t seen the wedding, gasp, I know. I love Cloe though.

Reply

Buffets scare me but I still eat at them sometimes because my kids like them :) and you get the food fast which is sometimes important with kiddos! In face my daughter Aislinn has chosen Golden Corral for her birthday dinner this Friday! Mostly because they have the “chocolate wonderfall” aka chocolate fountain. So she will always remember her 8th birthday with her best friend and the chocolate fountain lol!

I adore anything curry. Seriously my favorite.
I have not seen Kim’s wedding yet but I can sadly unable to turn the channel when I come across it while flipping channels. I like Khloe too…She is funny!

Reply

i love kourtney – she’s definitely my favorite kardashian sister!!! while getting ready to go out last night, my bestie and i watched bits and pieces of the wedding (but not the actually wedding, just the lead up). kim and her hubby and kinda crazy – love it!

Reply

Is it gross that I love chinese buffets? Probably is, but the hibachi style is my favorite.

& Khloe’s wedding was much more beautiful than Kim’s. Just sayin’.

Reply

We too watched Kim’s wedding…found it quite funny that she was talking about materialism and then was crying over diamonds and her third wedding gown. Seems like Klhoe is the most normal of them, she’s my fave.

What race were you most sore after?

-My first half. I ran it while still on the mend from a groin pull + with a cold. This was at Disney World, so I had to be up and walking the rest of the day after the race!

– Second place seems to go to the race I ran yesterday. Devils Chase in Salem, MA – 6.66 miles. Totally fun. It was the first race where I really went out and pushed myself. I had a goal of 10:30 average pace; I ended with 10:07 average! Whoot! Today I have sore glutes.

What did you do last night? Anyone else watch Kim’s wedding (I know, this is old news but not to me:)?

– Drove home from my cousin’s place through the rain/snow. Worst driving weather I’ve ever been in. Took a bath, vegged in front of the TV/net, nothing major.

When I was little I thought that the pizza hut pizza buffet was the jam. I would be out of my mind excited if we got to go there on a special occasion. Now I just think they’re okay. I’m vegetarian so it’s hard to find a compatible buffet.

I was the most sore after a 25 mile bike ride I did a few years ago. I remember waking up in the middle of the night thinking “Holy crap. Every bit of me hurts!”

Reply

I watched Kim’s wedding a few weeks ago. Khloe is one of my favorite’s too…she seems so real, but she’s funny too.

Reply

I am not a huge fan of buffets, but my husband LOVES the Chuck-A-Rama. I seriously don’t get it…

Reply

Oh my goodness, that waffle looks AMAZING! :-D I am so jealous right now, lol! :-P But you deserve it so I hope it was WONDERFUL! <3 xyx

Congrats on the Half and the buffet. That’s the best part of a long race – the mounds of food afterward!!

I too had never seen Kim K’s wedding til yesterday! It kind of made me like Kris a little more than I did before. :)

Reply

I was really sore after my first cherry blossom 10 miler. I guess when you only run 4 miles before running 10 you may have problems going up and down stairs for a few days afterwards.

Reply

Ha ha! That green pepper IS floating!! I really came over to tell you congrats on the race!!!!! Great job and those are hands down the best costumes I’ve seen! Too fun!!! Is Kim divorced yet. I just watched the wedding but the Enquirer is telling me that Chris is wandering……You know that Enquirer is a pretty reliable source……

College food! I just graduated in May and I’m already feeling nostalgic for my college’s dining halls. Brunch was somewhat of a legend, so I’m definitely planning to go back there with some old college friend when we can all find time.

You commented on my blog!!!! That made my day, is that embarrassing??? Now my hubs can’t call me a stalker because we met at the race(well yelling I love your blog equals meeting right) I still feel bad for bugging your Billy but was so excited I couldn’t shut my mouth. Fro yo for sho, anytime…thanks for your comment!

I don’t know why it did this twice, one was a draft but I guess it published anyway…sorry!

Reply

Your food always looks so yummy! Especially those huge salads! Yum!

Reply

Ha! Ok, the pepper totally does look like it’s floating.

I was the most sore after my first half marathon. The next day, it hurt to sit down and I didn’t want anyone to touch me. I’m glad it only lasted a day because I was miserable! Now my recovery time is super fast and I’m thankful for that.

Reply

I am cracking up thinking about you seeing a former student and embarrassing her in costume. One of the best parts of being a teacher is the embarrassment factor!

Ommmmggggg. the food looks amazing. #LOVE

I LOVE the Kardashians’! Reality TV is my guilty pleasure.. I watch it wayyyyy too much than any normal person should! I watch the Wedding when it aired but I just logged onto to my computer to do my daily browse of reality/celebrity news and GUESSSSSSS WHAAAATTTTT…

I love buffets. My favorite is actually a place called Sweet Tomatoes, because it’s mostly a salad buffet but they serve a bunch of soups, breads, desserts, and other goodies too. Love that place!

Reply

not a fan of the buffets, but you watched the wedding just in the nick of time. EEK! no real shocker there though…

LOVE your salads!!!
