China Buffet

China Buffet

1612 North Locust Ave.

Lawrenceburg, TN

So a few months ago, Brian and I drove from the Nashville Airport to northern Alabama for a show. We were pretty hungry and decided to get something to eat on the road. Unfortunately there aren't too many booming cities on that drive, but then we stumbled upon Lawrenceburg, TN. They had a few chains to choose from, but of course, our eyes and hearts were drawn towards a Chinese Buffet.

When we walked in we seemed to draw the attention of everyone in the restaurant. It was either our dashing good looks, our lack of NASCAR apparel, or the fact that our shirts had sleeves. Needless to say we stuck out.

The food was delightful, but there were a few other things that stuck out. For instance, they had a Mongolian Grill where you can put together your All Star Chinese food plate and they will fire it up for you. The difference with this one is there was a young latino man at the helm and the sauces you could add were all Tabasco and other hot sauces. No Teriyaki sauce, Duck sauce, or even spicy mustard packets. I'm all for equal opportunity, but as I look back I don't think there were any Chinese people working at this restaurant. I think one waitress might have been Russian, which technically makes her Asian I guess.

All and all, it was one of our more unique Chinese Buffet experiences. As always we recommend the General Tso's. While we were eating a girl at the table next to us struck up conversation with me. We were wondering if she was trying to distract us or something, but when we left we both had our wallets, except Brian was missing a lock of hair. I'm sure it was just coincidental though.

As we finish here, I'd like to point out that I haven't written in a while, but am looking to write more regularly. Probably less about Chinese Buffets, but my musings none the less. I notice that we have been getting a lot of comments posted in Chinese on our past blogs, and we appreciate the feedback. Someone asked if I think that it's some sort of Chinese Spamming. I hope not, because I got one of the posts tatooed on my lower back.
