Golden Corral Secret Menu | How to buffet like a boss.

[Liv]

So in one of the fleeting moments as an American I took my family to the Golden Trough, otherwise known as Golden Corral. I've mentioned the place before, including how to coupon your way in. It's one of those places you always regret going, but always end up going again. Shan confesses it's the only restaurant that requires a crap in the middle of dinner. There is a sort of secret menu, as way of "bossing" your way to better foods at the Corral though. Often G.C. moves ingredients far and away from each other, leading you to dishes that they want you to eat, but if you're wise and smart you to can Golden Corral like a boss.

The secret is the melted Velveeta Nacho cheese. Golden Corral puts it by the tortilla chips, figuring you'll make nachos. Nachos are nice, but Deluxe taco chili cheese fries are awesome. If you're not a fan of the concoction below, stick to just cheese and fries, and fall in love!

Deluxe Chili Cheese Fries:
1. Get french fries
2. Cover in taco meat
3. Cover in Nacho Cheese
4. Cover in Pico De Gallo
5. Add sour Cream

Next is the Macaroni Cheese. We step it up a bit by adding extra cheese.

Three Cheese Macaroni
1. Get macaroni.
2. Near the Mac, is the pizza- there will be parmesan in a shaker, add that.
3. Add shredded.cheddar cheese by the baked potatoes.
4. Add additional nacho cheese (by the tacos)

*** Optional, add blue cheese, or other cheeses.

Next is the Velveeta Burger.

Velveeta Burger.
1. Get slider burger.
2. Add nacho cheese.
3. Add lettuce from the Mexican area.
4. Add tomatoes from the salad bar.
5. Top with ketchup from the tomato.
6. Threaten soda waitress for a bottle of mustard.

Now I'm going quietly into the toilet, locking the door, and purging for the next half hour.

OMG....aside from Japanese Steakhouses, Golden Hog Trough is my favorite place to eat. My husband goes at it like you guys do, just kind of loading his plate with whatever looks fatty and greasy. I always head straight for the pot roast. That shit is so good....good enough to make me question whether or not I really want to go vegetarian all the way. I have a very specific way I like to eat there though... load my plate up with the pot roast, green beans, mashed potatoes (using the pot roast gravy on top of them), and mac & cheese. Sometimes, if I'm extra hungry, I add some broccoli and cheese too. I could eat that every day of my life. Then I go get some desert: bread pudding, and a slice of chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream or chocolate chess pie. After that, I get a plate of cantaloupe and whatever other fruit looks good.

I think the kids have the most fun with it though. They always eat the obligatory "nutritious" meal first (meat with two veggies), then spend the rest of the time chowing down on pizza, cotton candy, ice cream with gummi bears, and chocolate covered things from the chocolate fountain. I always issue a challenge to them regarding that fountain, but so far, nobody has taken me up on any of it. Last time, I dared them to chocolate-cover a chicken leg and eat it....they all refused. Fraidy cats.

PS: We call it the Golden Hog Trough. LOL

The only thing decent to me is the Bourbon Chicken.

Until I figured out the cheese trick.

Bourbon Chicken and cheese fries.

Our 16 year old loves that Bourbon chicken. This conversation is making me hungry. I've been on a juice fast for a week now (seven whole days).

[Liv]

There was good episode on the BBC the other day about fasting. Fasting two days a week, and eating what you want for five days, apparently makes you awesome.

I've yet to bring myself to try it.

The first two days of that fast were pretty hard. It got a little easier by the third day and by the end of the week, it was easy peasy. The secret is to find some juicing recipes that you actually like. If you do like I did and just throw some veggies in a juicer, it won't be pretty.


The link took me to a page with images my computer couldn't decipher.

The name of the show is "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" by BBC, if you're interested.

I'm actually binging right now. Trying to get all the last American foods I can. It's oddly weird. I'm craving stuff I don't normally eat.

I suspect I'll drop a few pounds just living in Europe, though I do still have that medical issue previously.

I'm going to freaking enjoy my first class food though on the plane.

Holy CRAP!
