Terrible Place

If..
  • You are on a diet
  • You are Broke
  • You are my 15 Year old sister in law
Great place if..
  • You are a competitive eater in training
  • You like to hiccup hours after you've finished eating
  • You want to feel like you ate for the entire week
I took the advice from a friend and coworker and went to Blue Chip Casino and Resort in Michigan City, IN. A going away dinner for a good friend turned into a dinner and gambling 
addiction that I might have to seek professional help for.  You'll be surprised how fast 20 dollars can go in penny slots, 10 minutes to be exact. 

Food, that's what brought me miles away from home to a casino that was going to make up for the fact that i didn't eat a Vegas casino buffet when i was actually in Vegas.  The food is all prepared in small portions so you don't end up eating food that has been sitting for hours under a heat lamp. Salads are made to order. Pizza that doesn't taste like it came from a freezer from Wal-Mart.  Chinese food that tastes better than any Chinese buffet I've ever been to.(and yes, i would know good Chinese food) It was worth the 20 plus dollars a head that you pay. Of course I also have to mention the desert section. I think there was more desert than there was food. Cake, pie, brownies, flan, ice cream. These are just opening acts to the Beatles of deserts... Chocolate Fountain. A glorious chocolate fountain was perched just feet away from me and every time I looked up it just begged me to dip something in it. I was this close to coming back from my fifth trip to the buffet line with every thing chocolate covered. Chocolate covered baked potato, chocolate covered ravioli, chocolate covered mac and cheese, there was no limit to what I wanted to drench in it's creamy magic. This was most certainly the highlight of the buffet, which made me bring out my patented Scale With No Merit Once So Ever. 4 and 3/4 stars in my opinion. If you have an appetite and money to burn head over to Blue Chip. It's worth the trip.

I should also mention that everything is cooked in Blue Chip Gamble Juice, which makes you want to go to the penny slots and waste your hard earned money..... small price to pay for Mr. Chocolate Fountain though.

  1. I heard that the flan is cooked in "stay in one of our luxury suites" juice.

    Just an FYI.

  2. on saturday four winds had a glourious choclate fountain, and it took 15 minutes to lose $20 on penny slots. for me at blue chip it took four pulls on the slots to lose $20 but that was at the high stakes room. Ouch, erica was not happy about eating ramen for the rest of the week. thats okay i like the couch.
