Massive brawl at Pennsylvania Golden Corral involving 40 people erupts over steak: Police

A lack of steak at a Pennsylvania Golden Corral buffet may be what led dozens of people to duke it out in a viral video. 

"There was two parties in line waiting for steak. Somebody had cut in front and then started being picky and finicky about the steaks and taking too long, and then, somebody else spoke up and said something I guess the other party didn’t like. Then, it just looks like it turned into an all-out brawl," former employee Dylan Becker said.
