HOUMA, La. - A 265-pound man says a restaurant overcharged him for his trips to the buffet, then banned him and a relative because of how much they consumed during their visits.
Ricky Labit, a 6-foot-3 disabled offshore worker, said he had been a regular at the Manchuria Restaurant, eating there as often as three times a week. But on his most recent visit, he said a waitress gave him and his wife's cousin, Michael Borrelli, a bill for $46.40, roughly double the buffet price for two adults.
"She says, 'Y'all fat, and y'all eat too much,'" Labit said.
Labit and Borrelli said they felt discriminated against because of their size.
"I was stunned, that somebody would say something like that. I ain't that fat, I only weigh 277," Borrelli said.
Accountant Thomas Campo, who spoke for the restaurant because the owner's English is limited, said the men were charged an extra $10 each on Dec. 21 because they made a habit of dining exclusively on the more expensive seafood dishes, including crab legs and frog legs.
"We have a lot of big people there," Campo said. "We don't discriminate."
The argument over the bill grew heated, and police were called. The police report states that the disagreement was settled when the restaurant said the bill was a mistake and, to appease Labit, the meal was complimentary.
Labit said he insisted on paying but was told not to come back. He complained that when seafood on the buffet line runs out, the restaurant only grudgingly cooks more. Campo said the proprietress tries to reduce waste of quality food.

So he must be 265 prior to entering the buffet and 277 when he leaves???
I've hung out with some college linemen who top 330. Imagine a 330 pound 20 year old and how much food is required to keep that weight up. That buffet would go out of business.
theres no rule book in the buffet lines....this is ludacris.....
like they serve real crab meat
I've been to a couple of Chinese buffet places that serve real crab legs.like they serve real crab meat
and I've know some that stuff the claw with fake crab meat
i bet mines bigger then yours
probably ...
dont worry i wont charge you double.....its all yours, but only take what you can handle
can I eat all I can then puke it up in the restroom and go back to eating ?
thats your only obligation
How do you stuff a crab leg? You have to break it to draw out the meat from inside the legs. I wouldn't go back to a place that served broken legs with the meat obviously drawn out and replaced.
B2B can we get an ANALolgy here....please put this in perspective for us common folk
Businesses reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.* So when Cletus McBesity waddles in and consumes 25,000 calories every other day, that is an abuse of the privilege, so I can see why the proprietor would want specifically to exlude him from coming back.
* Except in cases explicitly excluded by federal law.
either Cletus just farted or I smell a lawsuit coming....either way someones sitting in sit
take all you want, but eat all you take!
Me and a buddy got kicked out of Mr. Panda once.
We were there for quite a while too.
i wouldn't wanna brag if that happened to me
i was having lunch at a chinese restuaruant that offered a buffet and when a group of like 3 or 4 huge people walked in, my waitress got some huge eyes and made a worried face. it was ing hilarious.
it wasn't the leg just the claw
Sure.
I go and buy two jews and take one home put it in the freezer and take the other jew to the buffet. He eats wildly and when we get home he vomits in the freezer and the 2nd Jew being cheap consumes it. I stole a buffet and should be banned?
