Theorists, what you are about to see is from the Food Theory vault. It is an episode that was almost never aired, due to the events of last year. Remember buffets? The all you can eat experience of piling your plate so high with crab legs, various meat, and desserts? I wanted to figure out how to get the best bang for your buck at ANY buffet. I did the research, live and in person before everything shut down. The buffet we went to does not even EXIST anymore! Yet,I knew the knowledge we gained was worth sharing so that you too could beat the buffet.

Dwight Burrow 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

I was actually the "meat bouncer" (actually a specialty cook) for 4 years... There wasn't any boss telling me to do or don't do.. anything. You can come and get as much meat as you want, at the end of the day, we weren't thinking about you at all, also we weren't allowed to refuse the customer of another slice. I actually used to pre-slice them so anyone could have as much as they want. My boss never told me I wasn't allowed to do it. I worked at a local buffet though, this might not be the same elsewhere, but I actually enjoyed when people came to my specialty bar because I am the one who cooked the steaks and ribs and I always got compliments for my cooking which made me smile instead of being overbearingly grumpy like most of all my coworkers there.

The Lonely Woodstock 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

My dad was a "meat bouncer" as well (carving station, cook 1) at a casino buffet. He was told give a person a certain amount initially but if they asked for more, then give them more. He'd also precut the meat and was only discouraged by a higher up who just didn't like him. My dad and his coworkers also didn't think much of people coming to the station. I only remember one time he mentioned a person getting a crap ton of food and he was just impressed by how much they could pack away. Other than that, people were mentioned cause they were rude.

Freddy Krueger 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

The funniest thing is, based on how Restaurant Workers are treated by Management and Customers, that Management telling them to watch portions would probably backfire into “Meat Bouncers” serving larger portions more often.

CandyPower 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

But that's why the boss puts them there, they obviously won't tell u

2ndPartyCrasher ✓ 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

Ahhh! So what you are saying is compliment the meat bouncer so that they give you more meat. Nice...

I have worked with MANY professionals to help with my obesity, and they all said diet soda makes you gain weight. The way you explained the soda thing makes me realize WHY it makes me gain weight, it makes me hungry

Iraess Ranza 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

How did things end up going? personally I never noticed an increase of hunger from diet soda I got ravenous for more soda, so essentially I went for more drink than food, and did they have any suggestions?

gelatinous and free 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

That’s interesting, for me diet coke helped me lose 40 pounds

Nathaniel Mohr 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

@gelatinous and free Switching from regular soda TO diet soda, assuming you don't compensate elsewhere ("I'm drinking diet soda, so getting a 20-piece nugget instead of 12-piece would be fine"), you will lose weight over time. However, diet soda opens most people up to a lot of dieting traps, and people that drink diet soda that never really drank normal soda are much more likely to gain weight than people that don't drink soda at all.

kiktik 241 หลายเดือนก่อน

No it makes u gain weight because it has the same amount of sugar

Mr.SomeoneUDontKno หลายเดือนก่อน

I believe it being the same amount of sugar that is a false generalization of all 'zero sugar/diet' drinks. Its keeping note of ingredients and what it converts to in the body. A good amount of them do not have sugars in the sense of normal sodas. I have lost plenty weight substituting it from the high fructose loaded sodas I loaded on as a teen. At the end of the day everyone should be aware of whats in what they drink or eat.

Tony Ortiz 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

I've had several occasions where the staff looked in disgust as I stacked my plate with 50-60 pieces of sushi (which I always finish) and have once had a hostess suggest other food options when she realized that I was only going to ask for sushi rolls, and I firmly declined and ate 11 rolls total.

Eden 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

as you should

Sushi is super expensive and not very filling. Their mistake for putting it on an all you can eat buffet.

I ate so much crab leg at a Chinese buffet that they kick me out.. I said “but it’s all you can eat” and they told me “yes, and that is all you can eat”

Æthelthryth Quezada ปีที่แล้ว

I remember the first time I went to a Golden Corral.... I can eat a great deal of food since I was a kid. I tucked into the 1st plate and thought "This is going to be tough" I didn't understand how my buddies were going back for more. My friend had to give me a class on how to eat at these types of places.

Kind Planet 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

You have no idea how to eat like a prince or princess or king or queen Take as much as you want Laugh it off Be humble when eating If you worry you are eating to much, you probably only ate 5 plates that was filled with 57% food on it

Honestly, I've never understood the concept of beating the buffet. Whenever I go to the buffet I just eat as much as I want of whatever looks good. I personally don't see any reason to complicate that anymore. Good video still

Bobby Boi 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

it's a balance imo, i'd never wanna eat only the expensive items and ignore the carbs; though take some expensive stuff and a bit of carbs so I can enjoy myself.

JasCotton ปีที่แล้ว

If you want to hurt them, take a group of pre-teens. My nephew and his lacrosse team ate everything, including the fake parsley in the ice display. They ate all the expensive octopus trying to gross each other out. One kid ate a whole platter of dinner rolls and still had room for 3 whole chickens. They're animals.

Alex Hernandez ปีที่แล้ว

I like you

WolfQueenYT ปีที่แล้ว

I can confirm that. I myself am 13 and after 5 minutes of digesting, I'm up and ready to go again.

JasCotton ปีที่แล้ว

One Way buffets recoup their money is through the soft drinks. Because it fills you up & cost like $.03 worth of syrup to make one drink. Each of these kids can drink a gallon of soda. And my girlfriend pounding Diet Coke like it's going out of style. Slowed them down not at all.

I’m literally going to a buffet tomorrow with 3 friends and we are all 13 or 14 I expect the restaurant will go under soon😂

Nat ปีที่แล้ว

I have great intuition, so one time in 7th grade, I didn't eat that much for like 3 days and I didn't know why. It was so weird for me that my boyfriend and friend group thought I had an eating disorder, but I just wasn't hungry. Then my mom announced we were going to a buffet since she got paid and it all made sense, my body was preparing me for it but I just didn't know 😅 I ended up eating the most out of my entire family 😂

I'm honestly surprised he said nothing about mint tea. Because whenever I go to Mandarin (an AYCE Chinese buffet in Canada, not sure if it exists in the states), I always get a peppermint tea, because it helps with digestion.

Hiro's Randomness 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

i think this is similar to the unli meat samgyupsal (Korean BBQ) restaurants here in my country they're letting you cook their marinated meat until you lost your appetite and give you as much sides and rice as possible. My friend and I were kicked out for asking for 13 refills of their meat for beating the system of not eating any of the sides and rice but solely meat xD

someasiankid หลายเดือนก่อน

man that just sounds terrible

JPachu16 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

I’m surprised by the carbonated drink strategy cause I feel fuller when I drink bubbly drinks. I also was surprised by the purposeful peer pressure of the meat bouncer.

You need to either drop a load off or get the Gass out, the full feeling is usually Gass buildup from carbonation

Tim Stotelmeyer ปีที่แล้ว

A not so subtle hint from a buffet that I had eaten enough: They cleaned off my table and gave it to another person while I was getting another plate of food.

Sunny ปีที่แล้ว

That’s when you find an empty table and sit back down :)

Negueto Otokoto ปีที่แล้ว

I'd just sit down with that person and challenge him/her to keep up with me

Some Random ปีที่แล้ว

a good idea is to go with another person. rotate getting food and eating between the group.

The Weirdo Channel ปีที่แล้ว

@Negueto Otokoto lol

Meep ปีที่แล้ว

What did you do after they did that?

Chicken Permission ปีที่แล้ว

The problem I’ve always had with buffets (aside from the eating disorder I have that makes me not really _want_ food) is the desserts! I’ve found that buffets always have relatively small but very delicious desserts, so I don’t bother having actual meals, I just fill up on mini cakes, tarts and six cubes of different flavoured jellies

idiot321321321 idiot หลายเดือนก่อน

Agree I f**king love sweet desserts so I always load em up at the buffet.

drew bankert ปีที่แล้ว

My friends and I have an annual fried chicken eating contest, I’ve taken second place 2 consecutive years. In our experience the hardest part of it was the grease. It makes you choke on it once you’re 10-12 pieces in. It is simultaneously the worst and best day of my year, we’ve won every year

AN autonomous 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

Man the way Matpat looked at the camera after measuring the plate was hilarious

Ethan Petersen ปีที่แล้ว

This is even more useful for college students since a lot of universities have a buffet-style cafeteria. The one at my school has the dessert section pretty close to the front, now that I think of it. 🤔

Joseph Jackson 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

Something about this theory, especually because of bringing up "the satiety index" makes me want to see Matpat tackle what should be the best diet to lose weight using foods that give plenty of nutrients and not feeling like you need to eat more. Along with finding the best, we would need variations baset on taste and budget.

so funny thing the past weekend we went to Red Lobster for the Endless shrimp menu. I actually already knew to stay away from the mouth watering cheddar bay biscuits but i was surprised only 2 dishes had carbs on it. i honestly expected them to sent more rice/pasta. i mean yeah the dishes had like 6-8 shrimp each and you have to wait for them meaning your stomach has time to register your full.

Jack Humphries ปีที่แล้ว

"judging you for how many times you've gone up" I'd bloody well hope so, if I'm 6 fully piled plates in going back for more and haven't even finished on the starters yet I deserve some gosh darn recognition! Think that particular mind game may have backfired on the buffet places when it comes to me

@Cooper Bring a friend and challenge yourselves to see which of you two can ask him for more. Sounds stupid, but the more of you there are, the more the group effect and peer influence will negate this kind of social pressure.

@Cooper yeah they want to prevent waste lol

Best episode, real life MatPat is an amazing presenter!

А.Ж. 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

In my country we have all inclusive hotels (breakfast,lunch,dinner included in the price) and it is very similar to a buffet. So what everyone does is put a lot of food on the plates and when you can’t finish the food -you make the rest into sandwiches and then eat them on the beach.

You are as terrific as you were before even improving even now. Thank you for this episode!

Debra Savage 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

My family went for Mother's Day Brunch Buffet every year, and we definitely had a system. The most important part was a scouting mission. That's when you went up for the first time, not to fill your plate, but to see what was there, and report your findings to the rest of the table. On that scout trip, you would also grab small portions of a lot of different things. Then, once you knew what was good, you could get bigger helpings of those specific things.

Samuel Testa ปีที่แล้ว

I find the whole “Bigger plate, the more you eat.” Stat to be hilarious considering that whenever I go to a buffet I just stack all the food up into a mountain.

Comander Crypto ปีที่แล้ว

same, for breakfast buffets my plate is an entire meal stacked 6 inches high

Comander Crypto ปีที่แล้ว

then 2 more plates after that(the 3-4 plates are main, extras, fruit/corned-beef hash, dessert, second plate of dessert)

Alex Hernandez ปีที่แล้ว

I admire your actions

Santor ปีที่แล้ว

If you put a plate on top, like a burger, you can stack higher if you push down on the top plate to stabilize. Alternatively, you can do what I do, just bring a bag, cart or wheelbarrow.

I used to go to buffets with my friends all the time and we would literally just stay their for hours on that slow grind with numerous breaks. I would personally devour several servings of the seared salmon, which now that I think about it, was probably the biggest ticket item at our old usual place.

I remember going to an all you can eat buffet and never even tasting the desserts, because I was so full with the meat :)

Zack_ Plays ปีที่แล้ว

Yep me and a few friends tried the drink and waching something while eating trick, we still worked out which kinda helped I think in terms of hunger but legs were sour and we could barely walk to get food with the only thing driving us was to eat more than the other lol That day was insanely fun one of the best weekends we had despite the pain.

Neonimet 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

Strangely enough this is somewhat a healthier way of eating given in a all you can eat situation. I know this isn’t really about health but I think having one small plate of salad beforehand is crucial in prepping your stomach for a huge meat plater.

KyrenShat ปีที่แล้ว

When I was younger I went on a cruise ship and the buffet there had really good pancakes for breakfast, I remember having so many pancakes (like over 12 times going up for 3 pancakes per plate) the server just started calling me the pancake king and would refer to me as it whenever she served me food. That was pretty cool

Curious Mitch 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

This is exactly what I thought it was going to be, actually. I live near a sushi buffet and my tactic has always been to avoid the carbs, such as their abundance of rice and noodle dishes, in favour of the meat and seafood dishes... and yeah, since the pandemic, they've increased their prices. So the next time I go, I will DESTROY THEM!! BWAHAHAAA!!!

J Tomlinson 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

Love this video. Because I do love a Buffay. But also, I actually really liked green screen mat. I think it was a really cool experiment to have you in the video more. Not that the usual game theory editing isn’t wonderful, but it was really cool to actually see you talking to us more

MidoriyamaRArekusu ปีที่แล้ว

I want to test these out at an all you can eat buffet, but my mum has a tiny appetite and considers it a waste of money for her, which means I’d literally just have to do this on my own. (Just one time, of course, for my own safety)

Kayley Hoberer 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

I would definitely recommend this strategy if you are planning to go to a buffet soon. I was going to a buffet with friends in 2 weeks, and so I saw this video and used it at a buffet. Next time I went I felt like it was okay that I got all of the breads and soups as I had gotten at least $20 profit the weeks before.

An example of portion control at buffets I like a lot are Chinese Buffets and how the noodles you get the noodles and put what you want on it and they make it and it’s not already made like that other things, they have to cook it so it makes people get it less so what I do is I get the noodles first since everything else is already cooked and so the line for the noodles to be cooked will hopefully be less long

I remember going to a hotel buffet when I was twelve years old and I swear I ate everything I hadn’t eaten in my life. Sure, I didn’t eat any meat, because I don’t like meat, but I probably ate carbohydrates for like three people in one meal. And we were there like 3 days, so 9 meals

Surprisingly this isn't that much worse than normal food theory. Green screen mat is just kind of nice since you don't often see mat

The buffets in my area have limited each person to 2 lbs of crab legs and if you want more, you have to pay more. They're no longer out in the buffet and you have to request them if you want them.

The green screen actually wasn't a terrible idea, it's a good way to take up screen time when you don't have much to show. Also, it's fun seeing how you move when you talk.

Ivan Warren 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

This episode actually contains (in reverse) the best diet strategy I have ever devised : For every bite you take, think to yourself : Would I make the effort to preapre a meal/go to my eatery or cafeteria at this very point in time ? If the answer is : No, then you are done.. Don't finish your plate.. If the answer is yes, go ahead.. eat some more.. go for seconds even if need be.. But just "think" about it at every bite.

SweetPeaWannabe 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

I loved this. The style (due to the age) was nice. It felt like looking back to one of my middle school year books from a few years ago. Or watching one of those old timey Disney cartoons I grew up with staring characters like the three little pigs or the big bad wolf or little red riding hood. Who else remembers those. In any case, this felt nostalgic, and I really enjoyed it.

We've had an all you can eat Japanese chain open in our town. It's so good! But the plates are small, the portions are small and the food is brought out to you (though freshly cooked). I've not managed more than three plates but the food is so tasty , usually a few hours after finishing I'm already planning our next visit.

Going for another rounds due to a smaller plate was never a bothersome for me. Standing up and walking a bit helps my stomache breathe a little which makes more space for food

Maralina DG 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

..lol ya I love this channel. As a T1D, I refrain from carbs, sugars, starches or anything that can have a negative impact. Nowadays, the keto thing is a craze of sorts so it's a little easier to find options. At buffets, I skip all that stuff and usually head right to the veggies and salads of which I purposely load up at least two plates and could care less about the opinions of others. If I go for seconds, only I care. Great tips, great education and super fun.

This is actually fantastic! I need to eat more food but I always end up feeling so full I can’t, more weight here I come

Another tip: pick your buffet place wisely. I have been to really good (local Chinese restaurant) and really bad (golden corral ironically). The food quality and the environment really makes a difference. The cheaper and grosser the place, the less you are gonna eat (as you probably should for your own health haha).

to be fair it was infuriating to see matpat hanging those sweatpants over his shoulder for like 3 minutes, but that transition with him throwing them at the camera was really good

I’ve always enjoyed these places for a variety. It’s not about how much I can eat. It’s about getting to eat a little bit of everything.

kmir224 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

towards the end, i agree. it's great to experience the variety. but it's also great to initially eat larger portions of the good stuff

Nachtmahr ปีที่แล้ว

This is a great method, but I personally like my own way better. Whenever I go to a new buffet for the first time, I focus on getting very small portions of as many different foods as I can fit on my plate, and make a mental note of the ones I enjoyed the most. On the second visit, I get larger portions of my favorites, and small portions of foods I still haven’t tried yet or I’m not quite sure about. On subsequent visits, just repeat Step 2. This method doesn’t maximize the amount of food you’re able to consume or the getting the most expensive stuff, but it gives you the most enjoyment.

Jonathan Odude ปีที่แล้ว

It maximises it for me because repetition kills my appetite more than anything.

Well, you made your method for a totally different reason than he did. 18:41

Perfect example of different priorities, value for money comes down to what is valuable to you. It could be actual cost of the food like in this video or it could be enjoyment like it is for you, it could also be calories so you can save money on food for the next week or so, maybe even nutrition in the form of lots of different fruits and veg etc. Figure out what's most important to you then build a strategy around that. Regardless of what you choose it's useful to know how these places work so you can avoid falling for the tricks.

gang. i get fomo if i don't try everything.

As a Canadian the buffet actually have the same size or larger plates and if you ask the meat carver just ask for a big/thick piece of beef. Also i see way more expensive food like duck confit then other stuff.

Luis Argaez ปีที่แล้ว

As a vegas local for pretty much my whole life since I was 2. (Now 24), I didn’t know these tricks. I just love eating meat and would always head towards the meat for my 1st and second, then look around and see what else catches my eye. If nothing. I would just keep going back for the meat. I knew a few of the waiters and chefs and I would get bigger portions because I was a regular and they knew I would ACTUALLY eat my food

I like buffets for the fact that I have a choice of eating as much salad as I want. Lol. I actually would rather go to sizzles and get their salad bar. It is really all I like.

I think the main reason AYCE works sometimes is by giving you a time limit and gives you your food really slow.

My dumbass also thought the same thing except I still thought it said last so I started looking for comments about it but no one was talking about it being the last episode then I found your comment.

Turns out it was the opposite, being the first ever episode, it just went unreleased until now. (I get that everyone knows that, it's said in the episode, I just had to finish the sentence.

The last time I went to a buffet, I had a total of 12 plates of food. Thats not even including several bowls of mac n cheese, the smaller dessert plates, and a bowl of ice cream to finish it off.

Glen Jennett 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

For me, I just see what's available and take the food I will actually eat, but I don't take a lot of each item. That way I can enjoy everything I've taken to try. Usually I will fix a salad first, then items from the hot bar, then maybe some fruit for dessert.

Am I the only one that prefers seeing Matpat actually speaking on screen than his picture?

AnnoyingMoose ปีที่แล้ว

This lost episode makes me think of an idea for a crossover between Food Theory and Film Theory: What is the best snack to get at the movie theatre? Does it make a difference what movie you watch? MatPat could even do an ultimate crossover with GameTheory by studying how best to sneak food into a theatre without them noticing!

I would say if you're going to theater with your own snacks, grab the box candies from the supermarket for a dollar. I'm thinking Thin Mints, Hot Tamales, and Sour Patch Kids. Most theaters have these as an option as a concession. So when you pull them out when you're sitting, it doesn't look suspicious. The only thing I might splurge on is getting the large Coke with unlimited refills. And by the time I leave, that cup is been filled about six to eight times. The popcorn is a scam. You're not getting enough popcorn for the price you paid for it. You'll get filled up on popcorn refills before you ever get to making your money's worth of that.

Comander Crypto ปีที่แล้ว

@domo mitsune also, if it's winter, sneek in some chik fil a under your coat, and then a pound of candy in the pockets

domo mitsune ปีที่แล้ว

@Comander Crypto I still say the cheapest way to get snacks into the theater is, go to the local supermarket, in by the box size candy that's usually a dollar or less, and put it in your pockets or your coat. Once you set down in the lights go out, you can pull them out and the staff will be no wiser that you didn't purchase that candy. Or you can do what I did, and bring in your old cup and after a while When the Crowds Are in their respective theater room, you can walk into the lobby and ask for a refill. It doesn't work so much with a large popcorn. But sometimes they will refill it for you and you'll get away with it. Worst case scenario, you have to buy a new cup and popcorn.

I always begin with a huge salad, all that beautiful fiber/roughage. Most have a huge selection of salad ingredients and I get as many as possible. After I finish that salad then I go back to the meat and other items.

KillaQ 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

Here in Germany there are no such things as people giving your portions in buffets, and even if there were I'd still stand up and go to the meats to stack a huge mountain of food on my plate. Like, no joke, when I'm at a buffet I literally blend out every other person there and fill my plates up with *mountains* of food until there physically can't fit anymore food on there. I'm seriously surprised I never once got thrown out of a buffet lol

As someone who recently got diagnosed with diabetes, could you do a food theory on that? I would love to see your outcomes, know you are not a doctor, and am sure at least a few other theorists with the same condition would be entertained and/or informed.

It's great to be sent here in 2022 and still be watching food theory. Glad to be watching these many ideas for many years across many channels.

This make sense, the whole plate size thing. I've always had a preference for smaller plates and silverware, I've never struggled too hard with overeating (very fortunate), unlike my father and brother who do deal with that! That's insane!
