Fight at Golden Corral
A fight breaks out over an event related to steaks at Golden Corral. (CBS Philly)
There apparently was confusion about steak at the Golden Corral at Bensalem, PA. In one account, someone apparently cut in line to get steak. In another account, someone ordered his stake rare, got it first, and was assumed to get his before others without the understanding that he wanted his steak “rare”.
The video shows chairs being lifted in the air. In another part of the video, someone said that all they wanted was a steak. Some of the people interviewed; however, placed the blame on the customers for behaving this way rather than on the issue related to the steak.
From Newser:
(NEWSER) — Patrons at a Golden Corral in Bensalem, Pa., were treated to a brawl with their buffet late last week, with police and witnesses pointing to a misunderstanding over steak as the tipping point. Bensalem Director of Public Safety William McVey says the incident took place around 4:30pm on Friday, per the Bucks County Courier Times, which notes that a Facebook video of the fight soon went viral. That footage has since been taken down, according to the person who shot it, but CBS Philly has a clip, showing people screaming and cursing, throwing punches, and hurling chairs, high chairs, and tables.
One man can be heard in the video saying, “All I wanted was some steak!” And indeed, that’s what started it all, according to Alexis Rios, who tells WPVI he was on line at the buffet when a customer in front of him became peeved with the cook because Rios got his steak first; Rios explains he’d ordered his meat rare, so his order was completed more quickly. He believes the face masks everyone was wearing exacerbated the situation. “With COVID right now, masks and everything, nobody can hear … sometimes,” he says.

When you need a steak,,you gonna get a steak!!
Steak? At Golden corral? Whoda thunk it.
Probably comes in a can
Looks like a Chuckle Cheese birthday party.
I mistakenly thought this was a new movie. A sequel to “Gunfight at the OK Corral.”
“Foodfight at the Golden Corral – The Reckoning.”
The reporter referred to this as a ‘food fight’ but it technically was not when a baby’s height chair got involved. It was a fight about food which technically is not a food fight.
A food fight is when a donut gets bounced off your head, or your face gets dunked in the chocolate fondue fountain.
Just wanted to correct the record.
My God, the horror….. was there collateral damage to the chocolate fountain ?
I can understand it, if it was over Bacon, but just a steak….
Someone had a beef with someone else.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it.
Ha!
Better not let Jeff LPH-3 see you stealing his thunder like this…
The Battle of Golden Corral… all this time I thought it was only a myth.
You just know there’s a high percentage chance that there are a few military POSers involved.
They’ve got to figure out a way to sue Golden Corral so they ruin it for everybody.
Rumors are floating around that members if MEAL team 6 were there. We do have confirmed reports of the 750# Rotund Ranger Regiment and 82nd helping Chairborne division at the battle.
They ran out of ammunition when all the height chairs were expended in the battle. They then resorted to pelting people with ketchup packets but that failed to stop the advancing enemy.
Was it at the Golden Corral in Macho Grande?
I’ll never get over Macho Grande!
Someone tweeted: “As a former Golden Corral employee. Trust me. That steak is good. Not sure if it’s “2 yrs Probation aggravated assault with a kids high chair” good.”
13/90?
I present to you the Golden Corral Campaign Medal. The medal is to be awarded to anyone who was within the borders of the Bensalem Golden Corral (or its territorial waters) on 28 January, 2022 between the hours of 1600L and 1700L.
The Baby chair device denotes actual participation in close quarters combat.
Ha!
Yeah, it’s all fun and games until one of these Golden Corral Campaign Medals with Baby Chair Device actually shows up on a POSer’s “uniform”.
The VA has already rubber-stamped ‘declined’ on all the claims for toxic exposure.
“Efficient” “government” “healthcare”!
Wow. This is how far we’ve devolved. Fighting over trivial bullshit.
Yeah.
After watching the video, I am not surprised.
Just an observation.
Not “we” Rod–these public brawling videos almost always involve a particular demographic in the instigator/aggressor role–with fights at sporting events being the rare exception and even many of those are initiated by that particular demographic, frequently against members of other demographics.
Such antisocial behavior has become so common, you can be fairly certain before you even view the video who the primary players are going to be.
When society refuses to punish this sort of antisocial behavior, society gets more such antisocial behavior, much, much more antisocial behavior, as we are witnessing now on a daily basis.
Damn shame, too, Ol’ Poe, that this type of behavior is not rare, or even medium rare (see what I did there). Another of the many reasons why I CC…every.where.I.go. EVERYWHERE! Attack me and you will be well done.
Wow, Poe. I hadn’t read your comment yet when I posted mine. Great minds think alike or something.
In most instances I would agree with you Poe, however this happened in the Philadelphia burb’s. In that particular locale, crazy doesn’t respect racial lines. They are all totally nuts. One interviewee responded when asked if he had been injured, “No I didn’t get hurt, just a black eye and some bruises.” Just a normal day in the city of Brotherly Love.
You’re correct in a sense, PJS–the current mayor is a Republican–but precise location has little to do with this phenomena. It happens in airports, train stations, retail stores, restaurants, bars, stadiums, on airplanes. buses, subways, cruise ships, at beach resorts…you name it.
It’s not the place–it’s the presence of that particular demographic, and mostly when they are present in superior numbers in the immediate situation.
Just went on line to see if you meant the Mayor of Philadelphia, a diehard Democrat who essentially outlawed soda through draconian taxes while he hands out needles to heroin addicts. Anyway, the Mayor of Bensalem, Joseph DiGirolamo, has been in office 28 years. He probably couldn’t all of his goal accomplished in only seven terms.
Subsidize/reward anything, you get more of it.
Who is the “we,” Kimosabe?
They opened a Golden Corral about only six miles from my peaceful little neighborhood. Within about a year, it was taken over by a certain demographic. We stopped going there when all got was dirty looks when we walked in and couldn’t get the waitress to take our drink order.
You can’t make this sh*t up…
Never touch another man’s beef without asking.
Dinner and show…nice. Wait, I didn’t know the show was going to an amateur Battle Royal. I’ll just take my chocolate fountain dessert and go sit in the corner.
Is that Whoopi Goldberg tossing a chair in the video?
Yes, but she said that race had nothing to do with it, then she apologized.
Wait…
At least the guilty parties will be getting plenty of tubesteak topped with manmayo and ghey whey courtesy of BJTJ’s charcuterie. Best of all, there’s plenty to go around. No need to wait in line. 🤙🏼
Please. dear Lord, do not let these people be fruitful and multiply. And be with the starving pygmies down there in Africa. Amen.
Was there a fat female MEDAL OF HONOR recipient
involved in the food fight?
Only if she is 200 years old and her birth name is Mary Walker. 😜
Don’t bring a baby chair to a food fight.
Colorized footage was found at the chocolate fountain.

Golden Corral? No one goes there anymore – It’s too crowded. -Yogi Berra-
Dat was..Rossa Beefah….
Violence begets violence.
The direction in which our society is moving…
This is why I’ve been advocating; food, water and security.
There are so many points of failure in the system and zeros-as-a-denominator coming home to roost.
Don’t get caught short.
