Leave it to America to invent the most gluttonous dining experience of all time - the all-you-can-eat buffet. According to an analysis performed by The Hustle, the average buffet costs $20. For the customer, it’s a steal. But for restaurant owners, it's not so simple. So how do these remaining establishments without limits stay in business? And is it possible to outeat the cost of entry for an all-you-can-eat buffet?

I used to love “The Old Country Buffet. “In BayShore Long Island NY .but they closed down .Sad.They had great food great management and a great staff.
Sometimes the food can be bland. High end ones are nice but they don’t really seem to keep the food all that hot. Also, some people worry about sanitation.
Pro tip: Head straight for the meat and skip the beverages.
Beverages are necessary for dry bits and sodium. Otherwise, I usually hit the meats first.
It's not always gluttony. Sampling and selection are fun too
how is sampling a selection of mediocre food fun
@@crosskunx trying things you'd never normally other
@@crosskunx order
And then it’s gluttony.
I quit eating at buffets, and I quit vomiting the next day.

Ffs please stop this ad. You guys rigged unity’s ad platform to auto open apps on our phones. This is ILLEGAL.
Unity did that not them .. unity ad is faulty
Come on lighten up .
Oh no… did you call the police? 🙄
P
Clever
I haven't been to an "All You Can Eat Buffet" in a long time. Perhaps, I'm a bit overdue to do so.
Didn't know we had a UA-cam channel. Lol
Man I missed my local home town buffet when they closed down 🥺
I always eat too much at a buffet, so I avoid.
Yummy
Can people out-eat a buffet?
Well, let’s see. You are telling us that the average buffet costs 19 in overhead, and they only charge 20, earning a dollar profit per customer. Do I think people can eat $1.01 worth of extra food? Yup.
Of course that price is for food only. Where they do get you is the tea, lemonade, fountain drinks and coffee while water is free.
Old country buffet included drinks, so does pizza ranch.
No, probably can't out eat an all u can eat buffet. But if someone else is paying? I'll try!
Something happened and seems like my email address bounced on your daily newsletter subscriber list. Can somebody help me out?
Can you please email news@thehustle.co and let them know? They should be able to sort it out. Sorry about that!
Stop spamming ads to get views on your video. The only thing you are doing with that ad is making people hate your channel and content. The first time I've got the ad for this video it had 57k views and it is 2 days ago. Now it have 66k and don't tell me that it is normal when you have 9k subscribers. Stop buying views.
Stop clicking on the ad then
Can you stop advertising this video? It’s so cringe how you’re advertising
That’s why ima charge $6 of wasted food per pound
STOP MAKING SCAM ADS
These ads that open UA-cam are horrible. I’ll never watch this channel because of it. It’s a shame because your content may be decent.
This ad is repetitive and annoying. I will stop playing this game if it doesn’t stop.
