MANDARIN HOUSE

* If you read something at Mandarin House Chinese restaurant, it'll probably be a fortune cookie. The menus don't get opened much.

The server will assume you want the Super Deluxe Chinese Buffet -- a spread of more than 100 items, ranging from the very Chinese -- General Tsao's chicken, sweet and sour pork, et al -- to the very East Tennessee -- green beans and soft-serve ice cream.

Runners-up (Best Buffet): Great American Steak & Buffet Company and Ryan's Family Steak House
