    I've learned that the best way to start a buffet is to just serve yourself two plates full of food before ever taking a single bite. That way, you can eat more without having to wait to eat what you want

      my salad consists of a mixture of french, ranch and 1000 island dressing, with green olives, cheese, eggs, bacon. I put just enough lettuce on the bottom so that when I stick my fork into it it sticks. Otherwise I'd have to eat it with a spoon and eating a salad with a spoon is just wrong.

    I feel like I already get my money's worth just by eating sushi and raw salmon at an all you can eat place, because I certainly would be paying more if I paid per dish at revolving sushi restaurant. Anything else I fill up on is just more value for my buck.

    Only rookies fall for these tactics. Think of anything you put on your plate at a price per pound equal to the buffet cost. It takes thirty minutes for your belly to tell your brain its full. So you can eat like hell for half an hour. Easy on the pasta and bread, drink water only.

    Very instructive video on how to maximize the value of eating at buffets! Personally, I hate buffets. On cruise ships, at least there are human beings wearing cooking uniforms stirring the containers of food on display. On land, the only people you see there are taking your money or giving you drinks, for which they charge. In my experience, the baked goods are generally the best to be found at buffet restaurants. I always load up on desserts first. After I've sampled all of them, if I'm still hungry I proceed to the beef, lamb and seafood. Who cares about the order of things?

    Cracks me up when people say they have to get their money's worth. If you can't afford a single plate (like at a cafe) then don't go. Why make a pig of yourself. Get a sensible plate of food, take your time, and enjoy it. Get some desserts and enjoy them.

    The only buffet I regularly go to is a Chinese buffet. I look over the food choices before I put anything on my plate. I always look for salmon and shrimp first, or whatever fish is being served. Then I just take one or two pieces of whatever meat, cooked mushroom, and other seafood choices there are. No rice or potatoes or salad bar or soup or dessert for me!

    We rarely eat at Buffet's, and when we did, we always did a walk though first (if possible). This was to see if the food was fresh, if it didn't look good we went for the menu option.

    • @SandTHelp
      @SandTHelp Před 10 měsíci +1

      If you paid 80.00 dollars for a one-time so-called buffet, you were willingly ripped off, and there is no way you came anywhere near your money's worth. Your stomach can't even hold 80.00 dollars worth of food unless you are morbidly obese.
      Next time your husband wants to spend 80.00 dollars on food, tell him to meet me at the grocery store and we can show you how it should be done.

    If you are looking for salad, or healthy stuff at a buffet, you shouldn’t go to a buffet. The lady in the vid mentioned “unhealthy oils”, and like lack of a “nutritional guide”. Ugh, you are going to eat unhealthy at a buffet! Thats why you do it!
