Enjoying every sandwich at the Great China Buffet
Great China Buffet
532 W 30th St
Connersville, IN
(765) 827-8888

One of the better parts of whatever modest wisdom I may have gained in life is that you should appreciate the little pleasures of everyday life. As the noxious countrypolitan song put it, stop and smell the roses. On a hipper note, remember Warren Zevon's advice on his final Letterman appearance: "Enjoy every sandwich."

To that end, I feel moved to send out a few words of love to the proprietors of the Great China Buffet in Connersville, Indiana. We are blessed to have such an outstanding restaurant out in the countryside like this. Indeed, I'd put our local eatery against any Chinese in the state. I've enjoyed many delicious meals here over several years.

Now, I haven't eaten at every Chinese restaurant in the state, so I suppose that qualifies things a bit. It seems likely that you might get something a little fancier at some premium place that charges three times as much. I suppose you might get a table cloth.

However, I'm not there to eat the linen. Our Connersville outlet is a nice, large roomy place with nice paintings and such. It has perfectly good atmosphere, and it's big enough you could bring a wedding party or such.

Plus, it's cheap. Prime dinner time cost $7, drinks and all.

There's nothing especially unusual or creative, it's just basic Chinese food -- but really good basic Chinese. I'm partial to the General Tso's Chicken, and their broccoli with beef always has some crunch left to it. They seem to do pretty well at keeping just enough stuff out that it doesn't set too long and get yucky. This is one of the trickier parts of running a buffet -- especially in lower traffic places out in the country.

Special Al pick: This Great China Buffet has exceptionally good hot and sour soup. I don't know why, but this seems to be one of the harder things to get right. I don't know if it's just difficult to mix, or more likely that it costs extra to get the right ingredients. I don't know. I wouldn't have a clue how to start trying to make the stuff at home.

I DO know, however, that if I go to this restaurant, I'm going to get the shrooms and all the good stuff. This stuff has a good, strong tangy flavor. It is worth tasting.

If you have occasion to be in Fayette County, Indiana, or really anywhere in east central Indiana, you really ought to try them out, maybe get some of that hot and sour soup to take home as well.
