Page 2-The Michigan Daily -Weekend etc. -October 1, 1992 Plunder the Boardwalk Dollar per pound, the Boardwalk Buffet and Grill is the best deal this side of Geppetto's all-you-can-eat pizza night. The prodigal child of a Ponderosa and smorgasbord, Boardwalk's buffet will conquer in- satiable gourmands and leave dain- flavored gravies boldly accent each other, and the macaroni and cheese is just like mom used to make (if she worked in an airport cafeteria). Therestaurant was once a genuine Ponderosaandstill looks it.Dark green carpeting cleverly hides stains over- eager patrons may cause. The aisles are wide, ventilation is good, and ev- ery table has a clear view of the buffet so you can keep an eye out for fresh loads of food. The giant, steaming, U- shaped buffet is an ergonomic de- light. Amateurs will quickly master it and go on to explore the intricacies of the sundae bar. N.B.: be careful not to stare too closely at the sneeze guards. Service is fast. Skillful waiters/ waitresses scurry around picking up plates and asking if the food is good (like that matters). Hungry heifers may want to ask for several extra plates at a time. Don't be afraid of telling your waitperson that the buffet is out of an item. Do be afraid of asking them how the whitefish is "blackened." See FooD, Page 8 62' "gSK worth':. !t ,O Tm% o ° o 0 0 0 tier types trembling with awe/gas. So if quantity means more to you than quality, get there. Neophytes may scoff or guffaw, but the Boardwalk will convince. If the spaghetti doesn't strike a chord, try the Swedish meatballs, jello salad, stuffing, meatloaf, creamed corn, etc. The buffet is diverse enough to make a true believer out of even the most finicky. Fortes include the chicken wings (fried/barbecued), french fries, and taco bar. "Brown" and "yellow" NUBBA o HU86P I 0 zzZ- BZTI e MH.
