The buffet was a quintessential all-American idea: lots of food at a low price. It took off through the 1980s, but in the 2000s, the restaurant concept struggled to keep up in an era of fad diets. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly didn’t help. But Shady Maple, in East Earl, Pennsylvania, has come out thriving. On a Saturday, 8,000 people wait in line to chow down on its traditional Pennsylvania Dutch fare. Producer Abby Narishkin goes inside the kitchen and takes a seat herself to see if this place really is good enough to be one of the few buffets left standing.

God bless those chefs. That’s so much preparation
I love how she’s actually being truthful and not saying everything is perfect and amazing. If she doesnt like something she actually tells the camera she doesnt like it or that it doesnt taste good. Props for the buffet for allowing her criticism. “Its a little dry” ❤️ TY for being honest!!
ANGRY AT THE FOOD WASTE
I’d live there
She should be ashamed at how much food she wasted…..
What a enormous professional kitchen.
Looks like pride goes into there recipes and structured kitchen routines.
True determination and ambition keeps the business going.. they got high work ethics and standards.
The best part? “NO TIPPING PLEASE”
For once, America is waking up and getting a brain. Customers are there to EAT. Not pay staff wages. I’ve never been there and already I give it an A+
I wonder how they get cameras behind the cashier’s yalll not famous nor a millionaire
Why would she get food she couldn’t finish? She is hogging! Too much food waste!!!
U need to drink more nd eat less
Abby is cute
i love you handsome man.
women make the worse food reviewers
