WLOS reports that Ryan’s Steakhouse on Patton Avenue, known for its cheap buffet food – think salad bar, ice cream bar, potato bar, etc. – has closed. From WLOSer Sheraldo:

A landmark restaurant suddenly shuts down and fires more than 30 workers. Ryan’s Restaurant on Patton Avenue in Asheville closed Wednesday.
Customers were outraged because the all-you-can-eat buffet was less than six dollars, and had become part of some people’s routines on the city’s west side.

I foresee a Golden Corral to take this spot.

think of the weight loss that will occur now that the “all yuns can eat” buffet has closed … and just when they got the chocolate wondefall and cotton candy too (my two favorite food groups) …

My favorite part of the report was when one of the unwashed masses yearning for the buffet assessed management’s decision by stating: “Yuns is idiots.”

Well said, my camo-clad brethren.

Now, get thee to the Ryan’s near Biltmore Square Mall. I hear they have a napkin bib with your name one in.
