Overwhelmed by Chinese fare's beauty and deliciousness, Marco Polo had himself blindfolded and navigated the East by shouting his name out loud. Discover seductive savories with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Asian buffet fare at Buffet Palace. The buffet costs $7.75 per person during lunch Monday–Friday and $10.95 per person during dinner and on weekends.
Epicureans dining at the 300-seat Buffet Palace step up to an all-you-can-eat spread of 90 Chinese, Japanese, and Korean selections, as well as up to 20 rolls of sushi. A colossal circular buffet ($7.75 at lunch Monday–Friday) houses meals at stations stacked with mongolian chicken, steamed catfish, and chafing dishes kept warm by a tiny dragon. Diners can pile portions of scallops with broccoli, szechuan beef, and vegetable egg rolls onto plates to form edible towers of entrees that, like all famous monuments, are buttressed by a copious seven-layer salad and french fries. Patrons can chow down at one of 300 sleek tables or booths, enjoying lunches or dinners under the restaurant’s ribbon-adorned ceiling while feasting their eyes on framed artwork.

The Groupon Guide to: Tree Truths
To some, our nation's trees are fauna-harboring eyesores just waiting to be turned into invaluable stumps or locked up in arboretums. To others, trees are a necessary part of our ecosystem and an inexpensive source of shade. Get ready to learn the truth about these motionless superplants:
The Rumor: Trees selfishly hoard our atmosphere's carbon dioxide, the same chemical compound that makes our soft drinks so bubbly.
Fact or Fiction? FACT. Trees' endless hunger for carbon can never be sated—it may be mere months before the trees develop a taste for another great source of carbon: HUMAN BEINGS!
The Rumor: Trees are an excellent source of wood.
Fact or Fiction? FICTION. Our nation's wood mines are operating at an all-time high, with productive wood deposits being discovered all the time. In fact, many of the things that humans need to survive, such as money, refuse to grow on trees.
The Rumor: Tree bark tastes like Doritos.
Fact or Fiction? FACT. But beware, for trees, like most dogs, can petrify themselves—and any creatures touching them—at will. To avoid being turned into stone, only eat bark that has already fallen from the tree.
