Nothing says Belhorn Auction Service Road Trip like a steaming cauldron of unnaturally bright red sweet and sour sauce. When Greg Belhorn is at the wheel of the magical mystery pottery mobile (an unmarked, white E-250 van) and the dinner bell rings it is time to stop at the nearest Chinese buffet. Greg and Peter were returning from a pick up in New Jersey and not even the lack luster reviews online could discourage their mighty hunger. As aside all the reviews they found could describe almost any Chinese Buffet and they were not going to let online negatively dissuade them. The large polished sign out front beckoned as they exited I-70 in Washington, PA.
Arriving after the lunch rush most of the staff was eerily engrossed in watching Texas vs TCU in College World Series Super Regional. It was pretty entertaining to watch a group of young Asian waitresses watch the Texas pitcher work his way out of a jam. It was true moment of Americana. Immigrants watching college baseball live in a buffet in Western Pennsylvania. What a country!
As unbelievable as it may seem each Chinese Buffet is different. Greg, being an expert on really only two things: American Art Pottery and Chinese Buffets, clarified what made this buffet different from all the rest. This buffet he explained had an unusually large selection of appetizer items and relatively few true entrées. Greg then went off into a diatribe on how this reflected the socio-economic differences between Washington, PA and other towns that have fallen victim to this review. You were fortunate to have missed it.
An anthropological aside to the dining experience was when your two reviews exited off the interstate at Belle Vernon, PA fifteen minutes earlier in search of what turned out to be a nonexistent Chinese Buffet (thanks Garmin!) and found a most unusual occurrence. There crossing the street appeared to be two primordial dwarfs. Having seen a number of TLC specials on the subject it very interesting to see someone with this condition in person and to see them crossing the street in town that the worlds seems to have forgotten was even more amazing. One would hope that TLC doesn’t catch wind of this blog and start following your reviewer around.
