I Tried to Profit from Luxury Buffets

In this video, I'm going to luxury buffets that cost an insane amount of money and serve some of the most delicious food in the world. And as a small YouTuber, it's financially irresponsible [music] for me to go to these luxury buffets. But I have given myself a top secret mission to eat my money's worth and beat the buffet, which should be easy because I love to eat. I can't eat anymore. I just got a really sharp pain in my stomach. I am so sick. All right, here's my first case. The name of this buffet is Umi Sushi and Seafood Buffet. I thought that would be cute. Now, although this is the most expensive buffet in my city, my fear is that they're going to charge a huge price for the worst sushi I've ever had. And bad sushi can contain some stuff, like parasites. I know. I know. They're they're a little extreme. I mean, I doubt they would do that, but it's a possibility. But on the other hand, when I hear seafood and sushi, all I see is dollar signs, baby. I am about to send this restaurant out of business. I walked into Umi Sushi and Seafood Buffet and saw what just might be the best buffet I've ever laid my eyes on. However, I cannot get distracted. I have a top secret mission to beat the buffet. I got to say that quietly cuz they might kick me out just just for even saying it. They probably wouldn't. I'm I think I'm being over exaggerated. Now I just have to decide what delicious food I want to try. There's just so many options. Like this entire fridge of unlimited boba tea. But I'm going to stay on track and pick the food that I think is the most expensive and will help me make a profit. This whole plate cost $8 in total, which means I only need five more of these to beat the buffet. >> [laughter] >> Okay, I've tried everything but my sushi. I am a little scared to eat it because I did see some advisory signs over by the sushi section that basically just said be careful, but I have no time to think about that. Let's try this sushi. To say the least, this sushi was Oh, wait. Here's Jessica. >> You also have hot pot. Do you want a hot pot? Yeah, I'll take a hot pot. Yeah. Of course, I'm I'm to get some hot pot. But now for what I think about the sushi. >> My goodness, that sushi was so good that I ate my other piece instantly. I'm truly shocked right now at how good this buffet is. I've never had anything like it. The customer service here is off the chain. I was given hot pot. They want me to get my money's worth. But, I'm going to go back up to the buffet, find the most expensive food, and grab it. I figured the steak would get me pretty far, so I put a few of those on my plate. Then, I grabbed this giant piece of salmon. But, you know what I realized is in giant. I just realized how small these plates are. If I'm going to want to eat my money's worth, I'm going to have to double up. I grabbed my second plate and loaded up on some sushi rolls, then made my way right to the nigiri, which I think is going to be the key to my success because nigiri is known to be more expensive than regular sushi rolls by a lot. So, hopefully it's yummy. The first thing I tried was the nigiri, which made me realize the nigiri is really dry, but the sushi rolls are delicious. But, I have no time to worry about that. I must keep eating because I don't have long before I start feeling really full. I just finished my third plate, and now I'm going to ask Jessica a very important question. I was actually wondering, what do you think is the most expensive item up there? Yeah. The total meat. Oh, you're going to follow me? Okay. I followed Jessica, and what she showed me next really surprised me. The hot pot items are the most expensive? Yeah. I'll take them. Jessica claims the hot pot items are the most expensive food. So, I loaded my plate up with toppings and meat from this freezer. But, even all this only came out to $5. After the hot pot was done cooking, I put it into a bowl and gave it a try. I forgot that it's literally hot pot. It's going to be hot. Okay, secret bathroom team meeting. I have a theory that the hot pot isn't actually the most expensive thing at this buffet, and I have a feeling that she's trying to make me fail. I know, crazy accusations. I'm not going to confront her about it because I'm scared, but I think I'm going to switch my my mode here. And I have my eyes on the sushi. I loaded my plate up with as much food as I can fit and absolutely cleared it. Now there's no way I don't go back up there, get one more plate, and beat the buffet. I can't eat anymore. I am just disgusted. I feel disgusting. But it's okay because we have two more buffets that are going to be even more expensive, and we can still beat the buffet. Oh my gosh. >> [music] >> You're not going to believe it, but my next buffet is in that tower. It's a new day with a new belly, and I will complete operation beat the buffet. But I am concerned about the reservation that I made for this buffet because I had to make it for two people, and apparently if someone doesn't show up, they will charge you $20 per person. And I don't know if you can tell, but I'm just one dude out here. I guess that means I'll just have to eat more food. >> [laughter] >> Let's do it. Before I got to the buffet, I had to walk through a ridiculously fancy hotel where I had plenty of time to think about if they were going to charge me an extra $20 for just being one person. But I guess I'm about to find out. Hey, I have a Yeah, I have a reservation for Ethan. Okay, and you're for two? Is the other person here? No, [music] actually they're not going to make it. Oh, so you want to do it for one? Yes, thank you. Mission passed. Haha. I took a seat at this lounge with a bunch of adults that are waiting for their tables. There's a guy here handing out what looks to be orange juice. Are you 21 or older than that? No, I'm okay. It turned out to be alcohol. Before I knew it, we were all gathered into this elevator which brought us to the very top floor of this building where I was given my first look at the food. I have [music] been seated with the best view in the house of the Dallas skyline. Hands down, already the most luxurious buffet I've ever seen. It just keeps escalating in this video. My waiter told me that this buffet is going to cost me 80 bucks, but included in that $80 is an entree. At this [music] point, they must just want me to eat my money's worth. Well, that's what I thought until I asked my waiter, "What is the most expensive item you can order?" There's not like the most expensive one because everything is already included in the price you are paying. >> I do feel like he's dodging my question a little bit, but he did recommend the >> huevos rancheros. I feel like I didn't get the most expensive thing. Let's go check out this buffet. Allow me to show you around. Here's the sushi bar, the meat station, the desserts, and one more section of various foods that is so packed I couldn't get a shot of it. That line might just be a problem later on. Out of all of the food, what really surprised me was the nigiri. I should have known that it was going to be crazy because there's a certificate of quality that says it's straight from Japan. I'm going to have to eat a lot of these if I want to beat this buffet. My whole course, huevos rancheros, I ate the entire thing. Cleared it. I do fear that my main course is going to make me full. So, before that happens, I want to get back in that buffet line and eat as much food as possible to beat the buffet. And there's one specific place that I want to check out that looks pretty promising. The meat station. Would you say this is like probably the most expensive item here? Yeah? So, that's good news, but the problem is this portion size. It's tiny. I'm going to have to go back for that. Another problem I'm having is the incredibly long line. Every second I wait here is another second that my belly is getting full from the food I've already ate. However, I finally filled my plate up and devoured the entire thing. I am now down [music] on my second plate, but there are some problems. For one, that buffet line is packed. It makes it so hard to get what I need because people are waiting on me to move. Secondly, I can't even get a lot. The plates are so tiny. And third, the guy at the meat station told me that that is the most expensive item here, but he's only handing out one at a time and they're baby sized. The good news is is that I'm not full yet. >> [music] >> I think what I'm going to do is wait till the buffet line is empty, go up there, and get two plates. When the line cooled off, I knew it was my time to strike. I got more sushi on my plate, then I grabbed these crab claws, which I feel like are pretty expensive. The only issue is they take up a large portion of the plate, so I had to drop my first plate off and go grab a second plate. And then I decided I was going to do something bold. Is it possible to get two cuts? Thank you. Oh, that's big for our profit, baby. I didn't know what to use the rest of my plate space for since I already had a bunch of sushi, so I decided to get weird and grab a yogurt parfait. [music] Two more plates, absolutely loaded. I would have gotten more, but the employees were kind of looking at me funny. Like they knew I was grabbing all the sushi and I didn't want to get in trouble. I demolished this third plate so fast. This is starting [music] to feel pretty easy. Third plate down, fourth one to go. I'm feeling good. My only question is how much raw sushi can I eat before I just start not feeling well. to get back to eating before all this food starts settling inside of me because I have eaten a lot. I moved on to my two pieces of steak, and this [music] is where I started to really feel it. This last bite was tough. And I have a really bad feeling that this yogurt parfait is going to end me, but I have to chow it down anyway. That thing was so yummy, but it's got my stomach rumbling. I forgot I'm lactose intolerant, and I fear for what's going to happen to my stomach after this. I don't know how much more I can handle. >> Yes, it's true. I'm having dark thoughts about quitting again, but the city is calling my name. I can do this. >> [music] >> I'm not trying to be a baby, but I'm being a baby. I just got a really sharp pain in my stomach. [music] No, seriously, I'm concerned. This is without a doubt the most plates I've ever eaten at a buffet, and I still didn't beat the buffet. Maybe I drank too much water, or maybe I'm just not good enough. I recorded these shots to be dramatic, but I really am mad that I ate so much just to lose to the buffet again. But the good news is I have one more chance. Oh, the buffet beat me. Oh, my gosh. >> [music] >> My next buffet is inside the Four Seasons Hotel, where it will cost you $700 just to stay one night. Luckily, I'm not staying here. I'm only eating here. But, you know what? I'm going to walk in that buffet and eat enough food to pay for three nights at this hotel. And just so you know I'm serious, I was jogging right before this to clear my appetite, and I wore comfy clothes so nothing can restrict my stomach. I am finally going to beat the buffet and eat my money's worth. Let's do it. Another buffet inside of a fancy hotel, but I am not here to marvel at its beauty. I'm marching my way straight into that buffet to eat $85 worth of food. It is so peaceful out here. Directly to my left, there's lake views. It is beautiful. There's live music being played directly behind me. It's like the calm before the storm. Now, you may notice the empty plate sitting directly in front of me, and it's because I was so hungry that I walked in that buffet, and I grabbed [music] a plate, and I demolished it. I will say it was a beautiful plate. Now, it's just scraps, but at least my tummy feels better. This bird keeps terrorizing the table. Look at him. This guy has no shame. He's just yelling right in front of me. I honestly strive to be as aggressive as that bird when I'm eating my food. This buffet is calm and sophisticated with very few options, but what they do have looks delicious. However, you know I'm here to find out what the most expensive food is. Are those lamb chops? Um, lamb. Oh, that's pretty expensive stuff. I'll add some. Thank you so much. Can I get that, too? Thank you. I can already tell that Snae is going to be a big help in my top secret mission. I got enough sushi to feed an entire family. Then I noticed something weird when I got back to my table. How did How did that get there? What the heck? >> [music] >> Second plate has been grabbed. When I bite into this, war has officially started on the Four Seasons Sizzler buffet. I will say that lamb chop is cooked perfectly. Don't even Don't even say it's not. Do not say it's raw. I would have gotten more on my plate, but I feel like when I'm in there people are judging me when I'm grabbing a bunch of food and I'm taking all the way all their food. So then I start overthinking. I'm going to eat. My goal for this [music] buffet is to ensure that I'm ready for any problems I may face. Like flavor fatigue from all the sushi and meat I'm going to eat, which I'll be using Coke Zero to cleanse my palate and fight against it. I also noticed these little crab claws are hard to open and take too much time, so I'm done getting these. I'm just going to enjoy this last one. They ask you how you are and [music] you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine. I didn't even get to say goodbye. With as much ribeye as they're giving me, this might be easy. Except the knife I have is really dull, which I theorize they did on purpose to try and stop me. So I'm just going to eat it with my hands. >> [laughter] >> As much as I want to avoid the sushi for any bathroom problems, I can't because it is one of the most expensive items here without a doubt. There will most likely be consequences from eating this much sushi, but I got to do what I got to do. After I cleared my plate, a waiter came around and picked it up and then he said the unthinkable. Going to head back up for dessert maybe? Um I'm going I'm going to >> [music] >> get some more food. >> Oh, beautiful. Then yeah, I'll get you some more food. Thank you so much. He's trying to get rid of me, but I am not going anywhere. Although that's not our only issue, because I am getting full already. But it would just be embarrassing if I stop now and lost to this buffet. Let's go get this third plate. I'm back for more. Yeah, for more. One thing you're going to know about me is that I can eat a lot. You should. Thank you. You You load me up. Thank you so much. I grabbed more sushi, but I also grabbed a few shrimp to mix up the flavor since I'm scared that I'm going to get exhausted from flavor fatigue, which is already happening. The last two slabs of meat on my plate are huge. The biggest issue is the fact that the buffet is so limited and the only expensive items are the meat and sushi, so I'm just sick of eating. But if somehow I can muster the strength to eat two more plates of food, I can beat the buffet. Let's do this. [music] I struggled through eating the last bit of meat that's left on my plate using my Coke Zero to get it down when it wanted to come back up so badly. I can't even explain to you how painful it is to eat this much food. I can't. I can't eat another piece of meat. I think the buffet is going to beat me. >> [singing] [music] >> I can do it. The music motivated me to get out of my chair, walk straight into that buffet, and see if Snake could help me beat this thing. I'm back. Three? Oh. If you want to get four, I'll do four. >> Thank you. Remember you paid for this. You've definitely been supportive. >> Well, that's good. Okay. Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. Oh my goodness. Snake gave me so many pieces of lamb that if I get the right amount of sushi, I could beat the buffet on this plate right here. But I can't celebrate yet because I don't even know if I can finish this plate. I mean, this is a lot of food staring back at me, but I've ate too much not to finish this right here and right now. So, I'm chowing down, baby. I'm drinking Coke Zero. I'm dipping sushi in soy sauce. I'm doing anything to keep myself going. There's three pieces of sushi, two lamb chops. I am so close to beating this buffet. But I I am so sick. The pain that [music] I felt in my stomach, I have never felt before in my life. It's sickening. I'm a sick man. The thought of giving up makes me want to puke. Or maybe it's all the food that I've ate. But one glance over at this hungry bird that's eating the crab off the floor that I dropped earlier made me realize I have to eat. So I ate my way down to one last piece of sushi and stared down at the last piece of the puzzle that ended all. >> [music] >> I have beat the buffet Four Seasons. You can kiss my foot. I feel sick. If I had any left, I'd give it to you. You're getting You're getting too close. You're You're getting too close. I I don't I don't got nothing for you. Get Get. Is that the way you want it? Oh my gosh. I just got punked. Dude. As much as I want to be mad at this bird, he did the same thing to me that I did to this buffet. I got to thank Snake for helping me out and I got a view to enjoy. All right, I'm officially out. Thank Thanks again. You helped me beat the buffet. You're welcome. I'm glad that you enjoyed it as well. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good one, Snake. So, that's enough buffets for me. If you would like to follow me on Instagram, scan the QR code on the screen.
