Low-carb couple booted from buffet

A Utah couple on a low- carb diet were kicked out of a buffet restaurant after the manager said they'd eaten too much roast beef.


Sui Amaama, who along with his wife have been on the Atkins Diet for two weeks, was asked to leave after he went up to the buffet at the Chuck-A-Rama in suburban Taylorsville for his 12th slice of roast beef.


"It's so embarrassing actually," said Isabelle Leota, Amaama's wife.


"We went in to have dinner, we were under the impression Chuck-A-Rama was an all-you-can-eat establishment."


Not so, said Jack Johanson, the restaurant chain's district manager.


"We've never claimed to be an all-you-can-eat establishment," said Johanson.


"Our understanding is a buffet is just a style of eating."
