How Not to Cook Food for a Buffet!

My wife's birthday is coming up and I took her out for dinner this evening. She loves Prime Rib and I have been driving past a restaurant that has a Prime Rib and Seafood buffet every Friday and Saturday.

With the Prime Rib there was a choice between medium rare and well done. Medium rare was raw and cold. Well done was like shoe leather.

The coconut shrimp was cooked to the point where is was almost burnt and tough.

The Crab Legs had a thick crust of Old Bay seasoning on them.

Apparently they used all the Old Bay on the crab legs because the Maryland Crab Soup had none in it.

The breaded and fried clam strips were actually quite good.

Perhaps the made to order items on the menu are wonderful and maybe this was just a bad night but I will not be back to The Pike Restaurant in Gettysburg anytime soon.

For 30 dollars a person I expect to have a meal that is at least reasonably good and enjoyable. In my opinion I am owed about 45 dollars of the 60 I spent since this meal was somewhat less than mediocre.
