A couple more luncheon buffets

The Recessionista loves a good meal, especially if it's less than $15, and if it can stick to the ribs and eliminate the need for dinner.

Valley Ranch has a couple of yummo luncheon buffets that fit the bill, so to speak. Veranda Greek Cafe on Walnut Hill and MacArthur has a lunch buffet for less than $15 including beverage, tax and tip. The buffet includes salad, gyro meat, hummus, the best flat bread in the universe, rice pudding, and other items that rotate out daily (spanakopita on Wednesday, tabbouleh on Friday). Much tastier though less extensive than Ali Baba on 114.

Sushi Awaji is in the old Eckerd on the corner of 635 and MacArthur. It's set up like Tokyo One with sushi rolls, sushi, sashimi, fruit salads, hibachi grill, tempura bar and noodle bar including soups as well as desserts. It's a tad pricey at $16 but Recessionista thinks this is a deal for all you can eat sashimi. Free beer and sake after 5:30p. (Why does the Recessionista not plug Tokyo One? She hasn't been there for years after a bout of food poisoning.)
