Belly up to the buffet
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The buffet is a long standing favorite for diners who are in the mood for lots of food and a set price. Sunday brunches are famous for their standing rib roast and all the shrimp you can eat. Of course, the modern buffet display has morphed to include an amazing selection of salads, too. So, are buffets only for folks who want to go and gorge? Or are there opportuniites for people who want to eat healthy to belly up the buffet and use it as a way to graze on just the foods they want to eat and get a chance to actually see the foods too!! No more mystery about what the dish will look like when you order off the menu and it eventually comes to you from the kitchen. With a buffet you can say YES to the chicken with artichokes or NO to the cream of mushroom soup and keep moving. All hail the buffet. Do you think they’re good for folks who want to eat healthy or a mine field of disaster for dieters??
