(and alot of horrible drivers/college kids)

and everyone should make a note to stop at thurmans, watch the special on man vs food, call before you go, cause sometimes there could be a 2 hr wait. great article, i live here, and this is a great article for people new to the area, kudos!

I enjoy going there and my kids like it a lot.

The first time I was ever there, for Origins in '99, I was absurdly overweight. I was with some overweight friends, and we wanted to hit up a buffet. So we start asking around the convention center, and some guy, who incidentally looked like he could tear down a buffet in a minute, looks at us sideways like he's never heard of a buffet and says "You mean like a McDonalds?"
We of course are filled with excitement at the prospect of an all you can eat Mickey D's, so we try to verify with the guy – and say "Your McDonald's here are all-you-can-eat?!" To which he replies "Yeah, if you have enough money."
Disappointed, we start to ask other fat guys "Where the buffets at, yo?" No one has any idea.

This would've been extremely handy 10 years ago, and will likely be handy now. Thanks for a great, informative read!

BTW, Jeni's is nationally known and lauded – Details Magazine mentioned them this month, I know Esquire has in the past, etc. Get it if you can!

Wow, this is a great writeup.
I am moving to Columbus in September (unfortunately not earlier) and this seems pretty useful for those purposes.
