Ärende: Veterans' Day Eats
==========================
Hi everyone,

I went to our local Ryan's Buffet today for lunch.  The perfect opportunity
to check it out since I'd not been there before.  The lunch was free (thank
you), but I paid $2.51, including tax, for an AYCD soda (I don't like
drinking water with meals).

The place was incredibly busy.  Not only were we veterans helping ourselves
like pigs to the trough, but there were about 40 employees from Advance Auto
Parts (a large regional auto parts store chain) there too holding a meeting.

The food was delicious and fresh.  There were three employees hovering about
the buffet bars at any given point in time.  The store manager was out quite
often checking things.  I was happy to have been able to walk right in and
was rung up quickly.  My server bussed my dirty plates fast and kept my
drink full.

All in all, I was quite happy and I'll be sure to go there again.  Every
Monday, they have "Military Mondays" all day with what I believe is a 20%
discount off of the buffet price.

However, my eating is not done.  In Johnson City, about 30 minutes away, my
dad (who is a veteran), my mother, and I will go for Golden Corral's free
buffet for veterans.  We'll be leaving in about two-and-a-half hours to
drive up there and miss the crowds.

While the food is nice, I am thankful that I was able to serve my country
and would do so again if asked.
