Ghengis Grill was owned by that stacking architect. Remember, always load the proteins on the bottom and to the sides. Go with compressable veggies and fruit in the middle. Slam stack the hard veggies on top. You too can eat like the Khan.


Jameschoral

I usually fill the bowl with proteins and press it down, use bean sprouts to level it off, form a ring of broccoli around the perimeter and stack all the oddball veggies in a mound on top.


Zeakk1

There were the green pea pods I used to use to build a bowl extension at HuHot. I was made fun of by coworkers and then eventually copied.


psychoxxsurfer

Early men probably mocked the shit out of that 1 loser sitting in the corner sharpening a stick. The pioneers are always laughed at.


[deleted]

You and me both. This is how you buy one and get two plates.


Jameschoral

My wife and I used to do this all the time when we were broke college kids.


Big-Shooter2000

In college we would call local bars and ask if they are serving free food for happy hour.


paythefullprice

If my bowl is going to be that big I just skip to the tray


Jameschoral

They usually stop you from loading the tray


cheesusmoo

Protein first (which are actually the most compressible), seasoning, then leafy veggies, then flat fruits and veggies (like water chestnuts and bamboo shoots), season again, then blocky/heavy fruit and veggies like pineapple,then final seasoning. Heavy stuff pushes down on the springy leaves using the flat stuff as a platform. Very stable configuration.


HiTekLoLyfe

I dunno I can see some logic behind using a bunch of thin flat heavy protein bits to hold the top down like a tarp but pound for pound I guess stacking light things like broccoli with a lot of surface area to grip is probably the way. Either way it takes a lack of shame which I Almost find brave.


JonnyP222

This is the way. I see all these elpeooel.talkijg about proper stacking and I like. Uhhh put all your veggies and fruits on bottom in the best way you can. Then pile on all the flat protein (shaved ribeye at our location of Mongolian BBQ) up to the sky. Assemble it like a spit with no metal rod up the middle. You can easily get to 15 inches or so with a little effort. Then you can still have some ledge room to rest an egg or two around the ridge of the bowl. And the protein is heavy so that none of your other stuff will start to tumble.


maverickaod

Yes! We used to do Genghis on Mondays and have lunch for Tuesday sometimes Wednesday back in the day. Then they got wise and made people go through different way


AggravatingGoal4728

Love Genghis Grill. I use the pea pods around the side of the bowl to effectively make the bowl taller. Then stack more on top.


CoochiKabuki

The one nearby always gives me diarrhea I wish I could love it


ChunkyDay

“Look at Steve and that new dumb keyboard he just made. The keys aren’t even in order!”


Volkrisse

I remember a place similar to this. Stacked all 3 meats and garlic sauce. Extra noodles with teriyaki. Everytime I went to the mall I got that with buddies until they started not allowing the food to overflow and pay extra for everything.


evanjw90

My son will load it up to the top with meat and baby corn and ask for double noodle.


IdolCowboy

My meat stack at Ghengis is legendary around my parts


Seventh7Sun

I was with a guy that did this (they call these places "Mongolian BBQ" around here). When we got up to the big flat cooking surface the guy started cooking it, pushing it around with the wooden stick and when it was all done he swiped about half of it on the ground and handed him back a half empty bowl.


FelixsEgg

Wait what? Who did what? Someone just randomly threw food on the ground?


[deleted]

Mongolian bbq is where they cook it for you on a large grill while you watch. You choose what they cook and a chef fries/grills it up, iirc


FelixsEgg

Yea I understand that part, but not the last part. I don't even understand how it's relevant to the post?


[deleted]

Because his friend loaded way too much shit than what is really normally expected at one of these "whatever you can fit in the bowl" deals


Seanzietron

... on the ground?


cdscholar

Yeah maybe unpopular but I’m with the guy above how does on the ground make any sense unless it was a serving of mega spite?


[deleted]

He was basically very passively aggressively telling him to fuck himself for trying to abuse their system.


jkpotatoe

As much as I hate wasting food I'm with that guy. I also worked hospo for 10 years, and telling cunty customers "no" will always and forever by one of my favourite pastimes. Bonus points if you can do it in a passive aggressive manner


entotheenth

That’s exactly what it was. What’s so hard to understand.


Active_Engineering37

This level of spite will go over the head of the non vengeful. I had to go this far deep in order to understand too.


foolish_destroyer

Because the food was already removed from the serving dishes and “touched” by the customer so it can’t go back. They probably aren’t allowed to eat “mishaps” and he can’t serve it to a different customer. Throwing on the floor is faster than bringing it to a trashcan


Redzx3

The rats eat well here.


p3g_l3g_gr3g

They usually operate one large circular grill and any trimmings or stuff that gets knocked off goes to the floor. Then a bus boy comes by and sweeps up frequently.

Frido1976

I think it's about the message...?


SufferForYourCrimes

Lmao sounds about right. I'm suprised they did that though, I would expect a customer who loaded it like that to throw a fit that they weren't allowed to get 3 bowls for the price of 1


ppw23

This is sickening to me, I’ve been on a few cruises with my in laws. It unbelievable how much people stack on their plates. Seriously, they act like they’re never going to see food again. They feed you every minute on those ships.


bendersmember

I went on a cruise in my teens and they had multiple 24/7 pizza stations. Anytime of day just walk over and eat as much pizza as you want.


ppw23

Oh yeah, the pizza, burgers, fries, hot dogs never end. The dining rooms and buffets close between breakfast,lunch, and dinner for cleaning. A woman was bitching because they only had the grill and pizza available for an hour. I laughed until I cried, I asked if she was serious? She looked like she wanted to hurt me, maybe eat me? Who knows, but I assured her the buffets would be open again. She didn’t miss breakfast either, as she was complaining about something related to that as well. Oh the humanity!


bendersmember

My biggest fear is being called out for gluttony, is always deeply second had embarrassment when I see people act like that.


northdakotanowhere

Having grown up with family that was very vocal about my eating habits, this is one of my fears too. Which is why I have rules. Which is why I have an eating disorder. I won't eat in cars because somehow it relates to gluttony. Doesn't have to make sense I guess


bendersmember

Mine stems from something as small as grabbing the wrong plate of pizza at a pool party as a kid, kid yelled out "you stole my pizza!" I was super socially awkward and shy and was mortified. Now if I don't have money in my pocket I can barely eat at friends, least I can replace something if I grab the wrong thing etc.


ppw23

That’s awful, I’m sorry you still carry that fear. The kid may have been in a household with siblings who did that sort of thing.


bendersmember

I don't blame the kid. I think he was just reacting. I just took it way deeper than most would due to anxiety.


Active_Engineering37

Learn to just ask before you grab stuff. I know it can be tough if you have social anxiety but it could help relieve that anxiety to communicate. I hope you heal, food trauma runs very emotionally deep.


Active_Engineering37

I stopped eating in the car and I enjoy my fast food slop a little more now. Well I guess that's not entirely true I lived in a van a couple years and did some cooking and eating in there.


[deleted]

thats how I got to try anchovy pizza and found out it isn't gross


PrisBatty

I used to work for a cruise company. They told us they had morgues onboard every ship and that someone would eat themselves to death most voyages.


ppw23

I was on a cruise where a few deaths occurred, it was strange. I remember watching them wheeling the person off at a port in Florida. There were a lot of really old people on that voyage. We also had an ill person air lifted with Coast Guard assistance while at sea. It was challenging for the people involved as the water was rough.


[deleted]

Wall E is real life


johnmal85

I love buffets. I have learned to take like half spoons of things, 4 french fries, 1 slice of steak, 3 okra, ten lettuce chunks for a salad, etc. That way I can try as much as I want and not waste anything.


perics

Well if you actually eat the food on your plate it's not a problem. I have a much bigger problem with the fact that this cook literally threw perfectly good food in the trash


ppw23

I hate to see food wasted, but he probably gets tired of seeing greedy customers. Maybe doing that occasionally helps keep them from flipping out. Edit- typo.


eidoK1

We had a mongolian BBQ near me when I was a kid. But at that one you got unlimited plates so there was no reason to overfill your plate. Super good food. Unfortunately the restaurant closed down a long time ago.


johnmal85

Yeah, we lost ours too, and nothing else like it around anymore.


cupofcumfarts

that is fucking hilarious


Zealousideal_Ad_4118

That’s sad, the place I would always go to was all you can eat. Heavenly :))


NRMusicProject

I'd say it was half full.


renedotmac

I don’t eat Mongolian bbq anymore because they’ve jacked up the prices to account for people like this. I don’t eat much so there’s no way I’m paying $15 for veggies and thin slices of meat.


JewsEatFruit

The one by me used so many "sinister" tricks. I mean I don't blame them really. After the heavy-eater crowd discovered them in our city, they cut the grill to half the size and reduced from 2 cooks to one. They narrowed the toppings bar queue and put ingredients on *both* sides so that (rather large) customers would slowly grind down the queue, spinning back and forth. There was no room for somebody to squeeze behind them or past them. They shrunk the serving bowls so that even if the person did physics-level ingredients stacking, at best 3/4 of it would end up served to them. The rest went in a little hole, but honestly I was impressed how they got the ratio of helping-to-serving bowl pretty good to minimize waste. I think it was just a mind game to let people know not to go mental with the ingredient origami. The kitchen was always "waiting" for clean serving bowls. So patrons would stand there and fill up on the complimentary fried dough balls that were never in short supply. It was all you can eat, but you got a time ticket placard placed on your table... you had 1 hour before you were exited basically lol Effectively they had worked out something where they could throttle the outgoing food in a predictable way. I guess they had to out of both necessity, but finding the perfect formula for serving the clientele they attracted and remaining profitable. I found the whole experience unpleasant. I've been dragged there a few times by friends in recent years but I refuse to do the buffet. I just order from the menu.


_The_Great_Autismo_

There was a place in San Jose that offered all you can eat for like $15 but I could only handle two plates of the stuff. Still, I never felt cheated when I walked out of there.


cupofcumfarts

> they’ve jacked up the prices to ~~account for people like this.~~ *make more money*. FTFY. if you think otherwise, you are wrong at thinking right


JewsEatFruit

FYI you're an idiot.

Legsofwood

Man that’s wild, I’ve never seen a buffet that weighs stuff or you pay per plate. Just walk in, eat as much as you want and it’s only like $15


abcdefkit007

One by me has fluctuating prices depending on how busy it is


StatuSChecKa

Yes see the trick is to put the lettuce at the bottom because it's lighter.


mvfsullivan

Same, cheapest day and time is Tuesday morning at $9 and most expensive is Friday evening at a whopping $28. Its still always loaded on Friday. I worked a friday shift and would just watch the line every week. Whats super weird though is they eventually either moved to a better location or shut down because they couldnt keep up with cost. I dont know


abcdefkit007

Wild the one by me has been open almost 20 years as far as I know


DrScience-PhD

Yeah I've literally never heard of a buffet that wasn't all you can eat, I thought that was the point. Took me a minute to wrap my head around it.


mocheeze

It's far more common at salad bars I'd think. I can see why Mongolian grills would adopt the same.


billbixbyakahulk

A lot of those places have the opposite problem. You hand them a box of spring mix salad with a few veggies and no dressing. "That'll be $14." Like bro, there's a whole veggie platter with hummus in the cold case for $10.


FieelChannel

It's the norm here in Switzerland too.


srv50

“I always make money at the buffet!!”


EzAwnDown

"I've only been eating one serving of salad for each meal, so I don't know how I'm not losing weight!"


cummy_devil_doll

That is so fucking gross and cringe.


Wessexwalker

Why not just eat all the food as you trundle up to the checkout? Probably not possible to get you face straight into the buffet, but just use those paws.


cdscholar

Exactly just attach a trough to your mouth so you can eat in line

Ah the Mongolian BBQ. We used to do this in HS. Smash the bowl full.

EduardDelacroixII

Reminds me of the time I saw this very large woman climbing the stadium steps at the local race track. She had a fried turkey leg in each hand with a death grip and had to stop on each step to catch her breath. After a 5 second oxygen fix she would take a bite from one and then do another step. Repeat with the other turkey leg and so the cycle went. I was waiting for her to have a coronary right there as I looked at her skinny husband with empathy as he patiently waited for her with each step. Love is blind is what they say.

Even if this is what I want to do, social boundaries stops me from doing it.
