Benedict buffet

Tonight Is the first night I write two entries! Me and the guys went to Benedict for dinner. The pickings were slim. Things weren't looking to promising but I saw something and I said "why not". I took the dive and I was pleased


A boneless BBQ pork sandwich. Looked scary on the buffet display(rhyme!). But tasted better then one would think. I mean look at it. It looks a little scary. It has the whole McRib look going( taste too).



The sauce was good it was very "ribey" probably from a bottle but at least it was a good brand. It had the texture of ground beef, which i don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. It was seasoned pretty well, I think old bay which interestingly enough worked well. The bun was pitiful it was comparable to white bread. Another thing was it felt kinda "fillery" which again I'm not too sure of. It was hearty though, Ill give it that. Not a bad thing to eat at all but there was no real excellence about it.

The Mac and cheese however was rather pleasant. It tasted freshly cooked, so much so that it reminded me of the "test pasta". When you cook pasta sometimes you take a piece out and eat it to see if its done. Thats what this whole serving of mac n cheese tasted like. And it was a fantastic choice of pasta. The shells kept the cheese tucked away very nicely. Sad thing was that the roux was a little to buttery. It wasn't thick enough, It didn't make "Squwooch" that mac n cheese makes when you dig into it. Also they neglected to salt the pasta water when cooking it, so it came out kinda bland. A little salt fixed that!


A nice little snack, quick and easy. A little lacking but they say hunger is the best spice.
