All-You-Cans

Belly Busters

by Kelly White

Monday means it's all-you-can-eat time at Sweet Lucy's. From 5 to 8:30 p.m., the sticky situation involves barbecue pulled pork, shredded beef, hickory-smoked chicken and ribs. Your spread comes with extras, too — corn bread, cole slaw, baked beans and mac 'n' cheese. Desserts and drinks are included for $18.95.

Are we Philadelphians simply hungrier on the first day of the workweek? Eat your way through to Friday with the Monday mussel special at Zot. Twenty-five bucks — cash only — gets you soup or salad, frites, unlimited mussels and the tipple of the night. The generous list of varieties includes green peppercorns with bacon and beer or the Snob, with lobster bisque and cognac.

How much maki can you stomach? Test your gullet for $20.95 at Aoi, with all-you-can-eat rolls. The rules here are strict, so take finishing your spicy yellowtail and Philly rolls seriously — you'll be slapped with an extra charge if you can't put away everything on your plate.

Bring your student ID for a lovely 10 percent off the already-cheap $10 buffet at New Delhi. Go nuts feasting on vegetable samosas, tandoori chicken and lamb korma, but we recommend putting down the naan (tasty but too filling). This all-you-can-digest fest comes with dessert, and that mango ice cream won't eat itself.

Got $25 and nothing to do on a Sunday? Go great guns at Jose Pistola's brunch. Choose two courses — we like the egg and chorizo tacos and the chocolate chip pancakes — then down as many mimosas, margaritas and Bloody Marys as you can mushmouthedly request.
