It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. There is something cool about a buffet. There is something totally disgusting about a buffet. What is cool, is the amount and variety of food. For the price you get a good deal.
What is not cool and totally disgusting is the amount of people that touch the utensils. Gross. Or the amount of micro germs that falls from hands on to the food growing bacteria here and there at an alarming confusing rate.
I went to a buffet..a Mongolian type place (I'll refrain from the name) and had a hard time dealing with the food there. It looked good, but all I could think of was the 300lb sumo wrestler in front of me who kept wiping his brow and putting his hand on his phone. Me no likey. Me think gross. Me get sicky. Do you hear where I am coming from?
The only way to rid yourself of such a place is to stop going all together. Sorry but that business model just is not appealing to me. The same thing applies at weddings, at Vegas style buffets. I mean it's cool for a home party (maybe), but with 100's of people you don't know? Can you say Legionnaire's disease? I knew you could. Can you say salmonella poisoning? Sure can.
Once when I was younger we went to this all you can eat buffet place. This family was putting food in their pockets. Chicken...filling bags of food. It was crazy. Heck they had a family member pull up to the door with their car and they were running food like to it.
Come on people. All you can eat? Is it worth the embarrassment...is it worth the germs? No.
I'm hungry, what's for lunch?
