This all-you-can-eat buffet chain is making monumental changes - and one visit made us realize why they were necessary

Golden Corral is making some drastic changes.

The all-you-can eat buffet chain is revamping its design with airier dining rooms and more streamlined footprints. On Monday, Golden Corral announced it's installing meat smokers and adding more barbecue options to the menu at its nearly 500 restaurants.
