’Hearty eater’ says buffet banned him

[Foxy Brown]

A 6-foot-3, 265-pound man says a restaurant overcharged him for his trips to the buffet line, then banned him and a relative because they’re hearty eaters. A spokesman for the restaurant denies the claim.

Ricky Labit, a disabled offshore worker, said he had been a regular for eight months at the Manchuria Restaurant in Houma, eating there as often as three times a week.

On his most recent visit, he said, a waitress gave him and his wife’s cousin, 44-year-old Michael Borrelli, a bill for $46.40, roughly double the buffet price for two adults.

"'Tis no man.  'Tis a remorseless eating machine."

"I ain’t that fat, I only weigh 277," Borrelli said"

Uh, sure. Right.

Of course buffets in general encourage gluttony, so there's really no high ground.

"'Tis no man.  'Tis a remorseless eating machine."

and That's first thing I thought of


They shouldn't have gotten charged extra and banned I think, As long as they eat all the food they get.

but come on... "I ain't that fat" guy's in denial.

The quotes from the waitress are hilarious
