MAN LOCKED INSIDE GOLDEN CORRAL OVERNIGHT ALLEGEDLY EATS $1,000 WORTH OF STEAK, ROLLS AND "EMERGENCY GRAVY" BEFORE SUNRISE
MAN LOCKED INSIDE GOLDEN CORRAL OVERNIGHT ALLEGEDLY EATS $1,000 WORTH OF STEAK, ROLLS AND "EMERGENCY GRAVY" BEFORE SUNRISE ORLANDO, Fla. — Deputies say a Florida man turned an accidental overnight lock-in at a Golden Corral into what investigators are calling "the most expensive all-you-can-eat experience in company history." Authorities identified the man as Russell Baker, 44, who allegedly fell asleep in a restroom after polishing off his third plate. When he woke up, the restaurant was dark, the doors were locked, and instead of calling for help, he reportedly announced, "Well... breakfast starts now." Security footage allegedly shows Baker making himself comfortable for nearly nine hours. Police say he consumed an estimated 27 steaks, 64 dinner rolls, four trays of mashed potatoes, six pounds of fried chicken, three chocolate fountains' worth of desserts, and what he later described as "emergency gravy"—gravy he insisted should only be used during survival situations. Investigators claim he rearranged tables into a living room, built a pillow out of booth cushions, and taped a handwritten sign to the buffet that read: "Closed for private tasting event." Employees arriving the next morning reportedly found Baker wearing a paper bib fashioned into a cape while calmly asking if fresh biscuits would be coming out soon. When deputies questioned why he hadn't simply called 911, Baker allegedly replied, "I didn't want to bother anyone over something I could eat my way through." Golden Corral estimated the missing food at more than $1,000, though social media focused on a different number. The internet couldn't stop debating whether anyone could physically eat that much.
