  • Bottomless buckets of KFC! McDonald's hash browns and eggs for days! And Wendy's, uh, fettuccine alfredo? Hey 1980s, it's 2023 calling…We want our all-you-can-eat buffets back!

    Yep, Wendy's Superbar was amazing and weird. Not a place where I'd expect a buffet, but it worked. I loved their spaghetti.

    There was a mcdonald's breakfast buffet in Laurel, Maryland back in 1996. I remember being 12 and getting tons of pancakes and bacon! It was soooo good! Also i remember buffet at KFC in Hanover, Pennsylvania in early 2000s!

    My first job at 16 was Wendy’s & I started out working the Superbar. There was a lot of waste bc the produce was legit & had to be tossed. The rest was powdered & add water (beans, rice, cheese sauce, spaghetti sauces). The ranch dressing was the real deal: we made it on-site: mayo, buttermilk & the ranch seasoning. The pasta…it was frozen & we just sprayed it with really hot water. You don’t want to know how the chicken salad was made 🤢

      @@NicholasMoreau It was made from the breaded chicken (not grilled chicken bc Wendy’s just came out with that) sandwiches that didn’t sell. They would submerge the old chicken in hot water & tear off the breading, chop it up, mix mayo & frozen onions & celery. It may not sound that bad but it grossed me out. It also didn’t get rotated/tossed & we’d just stir it when it started getting that discolored film on it

    Superbar taco meat pan had these plastic thick spoons with rib bone endings so when you lifted the meat it fell out the sides..haha..you literally had to spoon 3 times to get the same meat as a regular big spoon in order to make people not get much meat..in the late 1980s/early 1990s buffets were in full swing..catfish,Mexican,pizza, cafeteria(Franke's was $4.50 all you can eat cafeteria buffet during the week 11am to 4pm with meats,veggies, salads, and desserts all on saucers that you put on your big tray which even then was a very low price for my favorite cafeteria style eating)..that's the one I really miss! Literally had cut from the slab roasted beef with or without gravy poured over AND Chicken Fried Steak or Chicken Fried Chicken with and without gravy as a few of the meat choices. Pie slices were awesome as well not to mention the many many side items of veggies to choose from..even then the same meal a night would have been itemized out to a $12 to $15 dinner($15 if they looked at my tray)
