Lunch Buffet

It was a cold day on Friday. I did not cook at home and had a craving for pizza. I and two of my friends were looking for a warm place to eat quickly. All the fast food restaurants in Socorro appear to be on the degringolade. Pizza Hut is considered as the best among vox populi. So, we decided to go to Pizza Hut for the lunch buffet. Little did we know that we were in for a stark contrast to our expectations.

We entered the premises. Without wasting our time, the waitress asked for our choice of drinks and escorted us to our seats. Two of us were vegan, but wouldn’t mind eating Chicken. The buffet table consisted of all forms of copious pizzas except for veggie or chicken. We requested the waiter for veggie or chicken. He said it is coming out. We waited for more than 45 minutes. It never came. The waiter and waitress were unbeknown of what was happening in the baking pan. The heater was turned off. Here, I was shivering and eating the appetizers while waiting for a hot veggie or chicken pizza. But, we got the check quickly charged with an extra Pepsi.

I am not being a fussbudget over this incident. I came out poorer, snarky, and esurient. It was a good lesson for me and I decided to cook and not rely on fast food restaurants.

i had the pizza hut buffet thing just before christmas, the selection of pizza was rubbish and whenever they brought out a new one it was gone in seconds, not good.

Cooking is always better than fast food; cooking usually means real food. At least it means you get what you want. :)

Sorry you had a bad dinner, though.

Maddy:
No more Pizza Hut.

Continuity:
It has been the same with this Pizza Hut too. The choice is totally up to the chef's discretion. I think Cici's Pizza is better because they take into account the customer's choice.

Lia:
I rely on fast food when I am lazy or when I am too busy. Well, that is a silly excuse :p

Socorro needs a make over or a face lift when it comes to its fast food restaurants. The only reason I go to pizza hut most of the time is for the spaghetti. I prefer El cam, the pub, the hat, and china best buffet. They're more expensive than fast food, but if I'm going to pay I might as well pay for quality. Or I like to bum off of friends cooking.

well, i don't like fast food restaurants in Socorro, specially i don't like the pub (rat incident) but i didn't have that bad experience with pizza hut actually the waitress was nice, although she delivered the wrong beverages, and took a little bit long to bring refills, but i had the same experience in the pub besides everytime i go to eat there i get sick, so, to conclude the restaurants in Socorro suck i doesn't matter if they are expensive or cheap (i think all of them have serious health violations)
