Of course, this inspiration to combine bacon and chocolate isn’t my own since I’ve been a fan of the Mo’s Milk Chocolate Bacon Bar at Vosges for a while now. As I was doing this at the dessert station, one of the other diners saw what I was doing and exclaimed, “Oh my god, why didn’t I think of that? That’s awesome!”. My previous dessert plate got me thinking… bacon – mmmm, chocolate – mmmm… why not combine the two? So I grabbed a couple of strips of extra crispy bacon and poured some of the chocolate fondue over it.

If you’re looking for some excellent king crab, you’ve gotta try it prepared in a Chinese restaurant like Excelsior or Sun Sui Wah. The Alaskan King Crab legs go quick but I was never too fond of steamed king crab legs. Oh, and yes, that is bacon on my dessert plate (gotta get some protein in with the carbs).īuffet tip #6 – don’t bother with the small plates that they place near the dessert station… that’s a rookie move – go grab a full-sized plate from the dinner station so you can comfortably pile more on your plate.

The mini pain au chocolat wasn’t that great but I did enjoy the mini chocolate pavlova, crème caramel, boston cream pie, carrot cake, and marshmallows covered in chocolate fondue drizzle. My second plate consisted of dessert items – I’ve been to enough buffets to know that if you wait until the end of your meal, you’ll be too full to try out all of the dessets. Like most buffets, I feel like the salad section is a bit lacking in variety but I suppose most diners don’t come for the salad dishes. There’s quite a variety of food at this buffet including an omelette station, a carving station, asian food and salads to name just a few. The casino was pretty busy the day we visited due to The Price is Right Live show that was going on. The Buffet at River Rock is a sprawling 260 seat restaurant located on the 2nd floor above the River Rock Casino in Richmond… gotta love the spiral escalator – reminds me of the one they have at Caesar’s Palace in Vegas.
