Why Buffets Suddenly Disappeared

Unlimited fried chicken, salad and dessert once made the buffet an easy family dinner proposition. Modern MBA's "Why Buffets Suddenly Disappeared" asks why that familiar offer stopped working, tracing the business behind Old Country Buffet, HomeTown Buffet, Sweet Tomatoes and other recognizable chains.

No new uploads arrived this week, so the catch-up menu is the story. The buffet episode has passed 800,000 views and is drawing the largest daily audience among the channel's currently active videos. Its description frames the decline as a puzzle that began before the pandemic: food remained plentiful while dining rooms grew emptier. The analysis stretches beyond nostalgia into food costs, labor, franchising and leveraged buyouts.

The other substantial draw is "Why the West Can't Build a Cheap EV," posted several months earlier and attracting nearly as many daily views. Modern MBA examines Chinese manufacturers including BYD and Xiaomi through supply chains, development timelines and government support, rather than treating low prices as simply a cheap-labor story.

At roughly 830,000 subscribers, the channel sits close in size to The Enes Yılmazer Podcast and The Prof G Pod. Its own library offers a distinctly less glamorous business outing in "Nobody Makes Money Renting Cars": an examination of Avis, Hertz and Turo that connects frustrating counter service and extra charges to the economics of maintaining a rental fleet.
