| - The parents called and told me to meet them here. It is located in the Main Street Station Casino. So I just got back from dinner. The Champagne brunch price is all day, but for dinner, there is no champagne. I've been here before for their seafood buffet which is a pretty good deal. They serve Chinese, Mexican, Southern, Italian, and Haole food...LOL! For those of you who don't know what that means, typical American comfort food.
I tried almost everything. My favorites would have to be the Marsala pork chops, beef bourguignon, and Italian sausage. I wasn't impressed with the orange chicken or the turkey in cream sauce. The pineapple swordfish looked good, but I didn't get it. Oh, just to be a little on the healthy side, I ate some collard greens which were great. I had a slice of the beef brisket, which was a little tough. I was hoping for a turkey carving, but I guess that's where the turkey surprise came in.
For dessert, coconut cream pie, banana cream pie, and custard pie. I had a cannoli, but the pastry was soft instead of crispy. I guess they were frozen before being served. That was the only disappointment.
I did work out for an hour and a half before dinner. I had to work off the breakfast buffet from this morning. I should probably be walking around instead of writing, but if I don't do this now, I might not feel the same way later. And besides, it's hella cold...it is currently 39 degrees and though that may not be cold for some, it's sure cold for me.
The way the economy is going, most places have cut back on their staff, so these poor guys are running around working their asses off! I'm glad I taught my parents well about tipping.
