In yet another case of life imitating The Simpsons, a German man has reportedly been banned from an All-You-Can-Eat sushi restaurant simply because he ate far too much.

The incredible, precedent-setting yarn allegedly occurred over the weekend in a placed called Running Sushi in the Bavarian town of Landshut.
Jaroslav Bobrowski, a triathlete according to reports, entered the restaurant which had clearly asserted its policy of offering an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet for the low-low price of €15.90 (or about AUD$25.85). Sporting a powerful hunger, thanks to his genius athletic diet of not eating anything for 20 hours and then gorging until he felt full (we repeat: genius), Bobrowski proceeded to put away a stomach-churning amount of food that bordered on 100 pieces in total. A remarkable feat for a man who stands at just 172cm tall and weighs a mere 79kg. An excessive amount of food, to be sure, but surely not outside of the All-You-Can-Eat boundaries the restaurant set itself.
However, his frequent patronage and repeated gastronomic efforts were deemed to be taking the absolute piss by management, who slapped him with a ban as he completed this last, and largest, feat of gastronomical excess.
Local press who spoke to Bobrowski quoted him as recalling that “When I went to the checkout, I wanted to tip, but the waiter did not want to accept that,” and that instead the owners informed him he was “banned from now on because I’m eating too much. I was stunned.”
The owners, for there part, assert “He eats for five people. That is not normal.” Which might be true, but your common All-You-Can-Eatery doesn’t exactly stipulate that the offer doesn’t apply to anyone capable of stripping a lake bare with their gut. Definitely a discriminatory stance against those who treat hunger as a sport.
It’s unclear whether old mate will challenge the restaurant’s peculiar ruling against him. However if he does, we know of a lawyer with experience in these matters.
