Honestly, I don't believe its fair to say "all you can eat" unless its true. Otherwise, you should put some type of detailed limit.

But attempts must have been made and probably continue.

I went with my Vietnamese colleague to an all you can eat sushi place in Savannah after we spent two weeks doing hurricane response when I was still in the Coast Guard. This dude ate 32 rolls of sushi, and the old lady running the place loved him. At a certain point, I think she just wanted to see how many it would take before he tapped out. I think I ate ten or twelve rolls, and just sat there in awe while the dude just kept shoveling food into his mouth. To be fair, we'd been working 20 hour days for two weeks and the ship was running out of food before we pulled into port.

Later on, found out that same dude cheated on his wife, then found out his wife was pregnant, they tried to work it out, she had a miscarriage, and he filed for divorce two weeks later. Fun times

When you say roll, do you mean the entire cylinder of sushi?

Or do you mean the bite sized circle of one sushi entree?

I can't imagine a person scarfing 30 cylinder entrees of sushi unless they're a competitive eater or something. That's nuts.

I'm wondering the same. 32 pieces of sushi is easy, I've done that many times in my life. 32 full rolls? Jesus. I think I've done 5 or 6 max.

They gotta mean individual pieces, not full rolls. The volume alone of 32 full rolls is just more than a stomach could fit!

Nope, full rolls. Big rolls too, 10-12 pieces each, and that's not counting the sashimi and other appetizers.

It was pretty impressive. And a bit disgusting

Full roll, not just individual pieces. Most places I've been to have 4-7 pieces in a roll, this place had 10 or 12
