I had an MSG reaction last night. Crazy stuff. I will never eat at the Great Moon Buffet again.

Working in the ghetto sucks....there are no decent places to eat within a 6.5 mile radius. lthumbsdown:

The words 'Great' and 'Buffet' should never be used anywhere near each other.

True dat.

I think the last time I went to any kind of buffet was in high school. I came down with a really nasty case of food poisoning and was bed ridden for almost a week. I lost 10lbs and refuse to go anywhere near those places anymore.

If you work in the hood there gotta be a good chicken wing shack around the corner...

We have a great cell phone pic of a Chinese menu with "No MSG" written in big letters at the top and in the background, the kitchen chefs are playing cards sitting on top of 20 gallon tubs of MSG.
...looking for data cable....

I doubt it was the MSG. It was probably the cat.

I recently read that the MSG actually not the issue, it's toxins from the mold that grows in the vats. I'm sure that makes you feel better.

I hate being excited for food and then seeing those long msg crystals sprinkled on top. Anyone else get msg migraines?

 

[Prettym1k3]

There's a local place called "Crazy Buffet".

I think I'll pass.

Actually, cat agrees with me surprisingly well & is quite cheap.

BM-that should be one of those price-less pics you see on the interweb.

GreenC-There is some bad ass fried fish shacks that have chicken (fried & wings) so far it is the only place I actually like, even though I can feel my blood pressure rise as soon as I pull in to the parking lot.

It was probably improperly handled chicken that made you sick. I deliever to a lot of restaurants and quite a few places leave their cut up chicken sitting out at room temp. Once delievered to a place , guy was mixing up battered chicken with his bare hands. Had his arms in the bowl all the way up to his elbows. It was summertime and the kitchen was hot. Now you know what the secret ingredient is in the General Tso's chicken !!!

MSG makes food tasty.

i am 100% certain it was the MSG.

Never been to golden corral, eh?

 

[giantrider89]

Saw a buffet the other day that had "100% no msg"!




better than the 85% msg free i suppose.....


-"You guess if sweet and sowa or spicy chicken has da msg! If you no puke fo five hour, you winnna!!!" :biggrin:

We have an awesome buffet here called Treasure Island. All the regular Asian foods with the addition of a Mongolian style grill with the salad bar. Not as good as Chang's Mongolian because it doesn't have as much stuff, but still damn good.

 

[jdcamb]

Asian cuisine makes me happy.

But glutamate mediated excitotoxicity is a beech.
