    @Vessi , #vessipartner , #nomorewetsocks, #ad
    A big thank you to @Vessi for sponsoring this video! I am in total disbelief and awe in the best way possible. A trip to Narbonne France to visit a buffet? Is it work the 5 hour journey? It certainly is when it's the World's Best Buffet and it lives up to that title in spades. As nice as the buffets in las Vegas are, and as many try to replicate, but this is the irreproducible original.
    This is a true celebration of food, the French culture, and the joy we get from a great meal together...but taken to the next level. @lesgrandsbuffets2437 does not shy away from the grandeur, the splendor, and the impressiveness of the French art of dining; it embraces it! The mind boggling varieties of complex classic dishes, the over-the-top hospitality, and the careful details and attention paid to all things dining, these are some of the things that make this the world's best buffet. The most important aspect that makes this the world's best? .. it's the people! You notice the moment you walk in from the friendly smile, to the pride, passion and care each member takes to provide an amazing experience.
    Their iconic Lobster Tower rivals that of the Eiffel Tower ( and I suspect it's more tasty too), the classic dishes made of order with a brigade of chefs from the classic Canard Au Sang to the complex lievre a royale, and the stunning ambiance of the dinner theatre are just some of the reasons this would be worth the 5 hour journey; heck it's worth the travel from any parts of the world just to experience this majestic meal.

    Without a doubt, Les Buffets Grands is the world's gold standard for a buffet! It is a multi-faceted dining experience that tantalizes all the senses from all perspectives available. The exquisite architecture, the special touches made for dining customers, and of course the world-class foods that grace your palate. It definitely fits the bill of being the Disney World of dining which requires multiple days of experience to truly appreciate all its wonders. No wonder the term Bon Appetite is most appropriate here! I can appreciate how Tim is blown away by his experience. Hopefully, he has time to do a second experience soon, without filming, to take his time and capture all the wonderment for himself to enjoy.

      I agree, I saw Mike's video, he is excellent but Tim's review seems less rushed and honest. One thing that I remember is that the recommendation is to reserve 2 days in a row, if possible, especially if you are coming over the pond.
