Recently we traveled deep into flyover country in southwestern Indiana to pick up the most unique collection of pottery we have ever seen. The collection was 100% modern, contemporary and studio art pottery with a focus on Indiana and Midwestern potters. This was a very interesting collection and a far cry from the Roseville, Weller and Rookwood we typically handle, all of which is between 60 and 100 years old. The entire collection required our full and careful packing and after a day of handling pottery our thoughts focused on our next task: dinner. Having left Columbus, Ohio at 6:00 AM and working through lunch we were hungry. Even though it was two hours away from the pick up there was really only one option: Bamboo Garden Chinese Buffet.As we pulled away from the house Greg’s exact words were “I’m hungry and I’m going to make them pay today.” Much like a lion stalking its pray we were heading in for the kill. Granted this lion was in the form a lumbering van and trailer full of pottery but you get the idea.
The Bamboo Garden is our home away from home when we are hungry and find ourselves in the Hoosier state. Their motto is reassuring: “Not Only Cuisine, But Also Clean.” It does not get much better than that folks. The Bamboo Garden offers a full array of authentic Chinese buffet items including my personal favorite the 5 gallon bottomless heated vat of sweet and sour sauce. We had the pleasure of dinning that evening with some happy Colts fans fresh off a victory. We all enjoyed the slightly above average selection of sushi this buffet offered.
On the way out Peter picked up a brochure in preparation for another Pulitzer Prize winning review and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Bamboo Garden uses only 100% vegetable oil…if you could not read or did not know what this meant they had little broccoli graphics to help you out. You have to love a Chinese Buffet at a no name exit in the middle of Indiana.
