Honestly, I don't believe its fair to say "all you can eat" unless its true. Otherwise, you should put some type of detailed limit.
But attempts must have been made and probably continue.

I went with my Vietnamese colleague to an all you can eat sushi place in Savannah after we spent two weeks doing hurricane response when I was still in the Coast Guard. This dude ate 32 rolls of sushi, and the old lady running the place loved him. At a certain point, I think she just wanted to see how many it would take before he tapped out. I think I ate ten or twelve rolls, and just sat there in awe while the dude just kept shoveling food into his mouth. To be fair, we'd been working 20 hour days for two weeks and the ship was running out of food before we pulled into port.
Later on, found out that same dude cheated on his wife, then found out his wife was pregnant, they tried to work it out, she had a miscarriage, and he filed for divorce two weeks later. Fun times
That was an M. Night Shamalamadingdong twist to a story about buffets.
What an emotional rollercoaster this story was
I had a sushi binge once back in college. I went to eat lunch with my friends at the local Vietnamese place and we definitely overate. I was supposed to meet with my frat sponsor later that night and was worried that I might not get dinner before 9pm. Turns out my sponsor had planned to surprise me by taking me out to a fairly upscale sushi place for dinner since he knew I loved it. We get to the restaurant and he orders "the boat" which contains like 50+ pieces of sushi (for just the two of us). When the food came out I was worried I wouldn't be able to eat but turns out I can make extra space for sushi. I demolished that boat and ate more than my sponsor. He was legit impressed when I finally admitted that I had eaten a big lunch before hand.
Sushi Zanmai?
I honestly don't remember the name of the place. It was almost 20 years ago.
In Richmond VA. I checked online and it's not in business anymore 😕.
I liked the first half of this story :(
That second third was pretty good too, but it dropped off pretty quickly from there.
That's a new copy pasta

Done.
Imagine four guys that workout a lot, trying to gain mass after a cut, going to an all you can eat sushi place...
The waitress was just laughing her ass off when passing by our table and seeing another order slip, we filled the table four times before we felt we had enough...
Oh I can imagine. Two young military officers coming off a few weeks at sea working 20+ hour days led to this story. We went back with more people the next day, and I thought we were gonna clear the place out
It must've been the 100 rolls of sushi that provoke the cheating...
Honestly the rolls they were serving were at least double the size of most other places I've gone. Might've had something to do with the major hurricane that just rolled through tho
Have you ever considered writing for the Saw films?
Let's play a game
You're hired!
When you say roll, do you mean the entire cylinder of sushi?
Or do you mean the bite sized circle of one sushi entree?
I can't imagine a person scarfing 30 cylinder entrees of sushi unless they're a competitive eater or something. That's nuts.
I'm wondering the same. 32 pieces of sushi is easy, I've done that many times in my life. 32 full rolls? Jesus. I think I've done 5 or 6 max.
They gotta mean individual pieces, not full rolls. The volume alone of 32 full rolls is just more than a stomach could fit!
Nope, full rolls. Big rolls too, 10-12 pieces each, and that's not counting the sashimi and other appetizers.
Damn that’s insane then!
It was pretty impressive. And a bit disgusting
Full roll, not just individual pieces. Most places I've been to have 4-7 pieces in a roll, this place had 10 or 12
What size? Normal or big (futomaki)?
Big
