Some people believe in fine dining. Some of the rest of us believe in
mass dining! Quantity over quality is often my motto, as long as the
quality is not too bad. Here is Hugh's list of places in St. Louis where
you can eat ALL YOU CAN EAT. (Note my known neighborhoods:
around Washington University, Central West End, Brentwood, Richmond Heights,
Rock Hill, Olivette, Clayton, Ladue, Frontenac, University City,
Creve Coeur, Maryland Heights, Westport -- other folks around Metro St. Louis
can e-mail me their own regional picks
and I will post just about anything!) Note that we typically do not venture too
far West of 141, South of 44, North of 70 or East of midtown, but I
will go anywhere for a good restaurant!

More to come very soon!
Chinese But Not Buffets
Indian
For comments on quality, you should really talk to my old friend,
Pankaj Agarwal, he's Indian, I'm not! Of course, he left Wash U and St. Louis years
ago (as well as
Mike Zuker, who was banished to RPI!!), but I still leave his
name here since he was my original Indian food influence.
I think it all taste great.
Japanese
I also like Japanese food but in that area St. Louis is even more lacking. There
are no Japanese buffets although Lee's and even Happy China sometimes have
sushi in their buffet lines. Emperor's Palace has a Japanese section as
well, but it was pretty bad. On trips to Houston and Portland we ate at some
very nice Japanese buffets, but I don't know if St. Louis has the market to
support those. In any case, here are the Japanese restaurants I know of in St.
Louis:
Thai
Hey, I meant to start a Thai section but I just don't eat at Thai restaurants
very much, not because I don't like the food, but because my wife and kids
don't (much like they don't like Indian food). Other folks can eat there and
tell me what is good! Maybe I can convince the family if there is a really good
place to take them...
Non-Asian
It was called "American" but
frankly the Chinese, Indian and Japanese restaurants above are just as
American as these ones, but you know what I mean...
Pizza
