No-carb eating couple booted from buffet
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A couple on a low-carb diet
were kicked out of a buffet restaurant after the manager
said they'd eaten too much roast beef.
Sui Amaama, who along with his wife have been on the Atkins
Diet for two weeks, was asked to leave after he went up to
the buffet at the Chuck-A-Rama in suburban Taylorsville for
his 12th slice of roast beef.
"It's so embarrassing actually," said Isabelle Leota,
Amaama's wife. "We went in to have dinner, we were under the
impression Chuck-A-Rama was an all-you-can-eat
establishment."
Not so, said Jack Johanson, the restaurant chain's
district manager.
"We've never claimed to be an all-you-can-eat
establishment," said Johanson. "Our understanding is a
buffet is just a style of eating."
The general manager who was carving the meat Tuesday became
concerned about having enough for other patrons and asked
Amaama to stop, Johanson said.
Offended, the couple asked for a refund. The manager refused
and called police when they would not leave.
The couple said they have eaten at Chuck-A-Rama's $8.99
buffet at least twice a week, but did not plan to return.
