what about them.

harrah's chester used to have a slamming fuckin deal - play for 30 min, get a free buffet and it was amazing. daily, for around 2 weeks, we would sit at the penny slots playing minimal bets, drinking free beers (we tipped the waitress heavily), get slammed and eat then leave.

those were the days. 

then it got shut down by the health department.

edit: isn't buffet and smorgasbord the same thing? 
i've got on a hoodie because i have no more kerosene for the heater and some flannel pants. i work from home.

Shady Maple is eating mans paradise.  East Star is meh.  Kind of what Toast said, buffet.  Years ago it was like $5, so it was a quick easy hit.

fun fact: Malvern used to be home to the only Wawa ive ever seen that was not open 24/7

not trying to derail the chesco / malvern talk but i went back and read the first post in this thread (which was golden btw). is east gourmet buffet really that good? I see it all of the time since that area is basically the closest 'shopping' district to where i'm at. usually everything is shit out there tho so i never gave it a thought.

It's ok. Been to better Chinese buffets. Definitely not horrible though.

If ever in Niagara falls there's a place right over the border on the Canadian side called "Mandarin". It's the shady maple of Chinese buffets. An absolute gem.

This is great! Finally someone who appreciates all the hard work I do around here (just kidding, I have a few non-haters like Ridge Racer). That trip report was pretty good, but the link below is the best trip report on this site. This was the time I met @Ski2Live Live2Ski and we had sugar cookies together and split a hot cocoa:

I used to think it was great, since it would be my lunch and dinner during 12 hour sessions at Camelback. There are some seafood options, such as clams and sushi. Basically the same food as every Chinese buffet ever. Right now I'm sick of Chinese food and will have to wait a few months to see if I like it again.

There is one off of Sugartown road in Wayne/Devon that isn’t open 24 either.  Right by my old house.  Is in a fancy area but got robbed all the time.  The McDonalds next door was a front for a drug operation and 3 dudes with AKs busted in there one night.

The tubing report was fake, but the skiing one in the link above was legit.

Radical I wonder if Cliffhanger is open. 

[JFskiDan]

I wonder if Camelsack will open Friday?  It would probably move some of the shit show from Blue to Toe.

I don’t think they opened last year until the first weekend in December.

They had made a comment somewhere last week or so about opening the 29th.  I just sort of wonder if their decision to hold off making snow until that Tuesday, is gonna come bite them in the ass.

Camelback reopens tomorrow..$51 lift tickets and expecting up to three inches of snow overnight.

I’ve never seen that movie. Turned it on once on Netflix, I think. I was like holy crap, this is the worst acting I’ve ever seen.
