All you can eat

Dave and I hit Panas last night for bottomless pizza.  Its 50 bucks for allegedly as much pizza as you can irresponsibly consume.  Back in the day, all-you-can-eats, were for the benefit of the consumer.  Its possible that all that consumptive-freedom was abused, and is the cause of the present day situation.  Whatever the case, its now a competition.  A battle.

Each side has a strategy, the battle lines are laid though each side affords the other a shallow degree of respect.  But we all know whats going down.

I had held back on food after lunch - freeing up maximum storage, and Dave arrived in his 'loose fitting pants'.  There was no question of a starter - this is about extracting all the utility you can out of 50 bucks.

The first 15 degree slice hit my stomach like a single fiery arrow into an ocean.  Dave's arrow didn't even touch the water. Then the pause - its no secret that food settles after 10 minutes. This is the core of the caterers defense.  And they play it skillfully.

Following the sacrificial lamb slice and the pause, they hit you with the rush - because they want you to come back next week.  The rush lasts half an hour, and restores your confidence in modern day bargains.  But then it ends, about 2 slices before you break even.  Its the two pieces you would've had for lunch today.

Competitive eating out.  Its a disease - but on a positive note, probably the healthier option.  The variety of pizza also means I eat something with veg on it.  We'll be back Panas, we're not. done. yet.
