Ep. 4 - All You Can Eat Jul 16, 2021

Show notes

It's a big job, and Al, Jason and Rich were ready to do it: cover the wide world of Las Vegas buffets. Closed during the pandemic, buffets are back on The Strip and in the neighborhoods. The guys are on scene at Mint Indian Bistro, and talk to owner Kris Parikh.

Then it's a comprehensive education in buffetology with two masters: Chef Jennifer Murphy of Bacchanal at Caesars Palace and Chef Jason Duarte of The Buffet at Wynn.

Then it's back to Mint for talk of what's opening, what's closing and where the guys have been this past week.

And stick around for the end, when Jason accepts Kris Parikh's Inferno Curry Challenge.
