What's the etiquette on tipping at an all you can eat buffet? I hope they don't expect 15%.

Step 1: Get a large plate of food. Step 2: Repeat step 1.

All about getting a little sample of different stuff I wouldn’t normally order. I love buffets for cuisines I’m less familiar with since I can try a bunch of dishes at once without running the risk of ordering something I won’t like.

Eat until you feel like you're going to go in a carb coma. Then force down one more plate for good measure.

Men and women approach buffets and the search for partners differently.

Men circle the buffet taking some of everything, often getting full before they find the good stuff at the end of the table.

Women circle the buffet taking note of everything they think they might like then settle on the few items they find the most appealing.

The only buffet I've eaten at in years is a local Mexican one called El Magey. I was skeptical of a Mexican buffet but it's actually quite good.


It's the Hunan of Mexican food in BR.

I like to sneeze onto the "sneeze guard". Now most people would initially think that its a wasted effort and sneezing beneath it onto the food would be more effective, however, I prefer to leave a visual mark. Much more offending.

I once found myself working from 7 am to 2pm then studying from 3:30 PM until 6 pm then going to class from 6 until 9:45 pm.

I went to class and worked an hour from my house.

I was making good money at my job but had zero free time Monday - Friday.

So being 26 and living in a different city as my wife I decided that for those 4 months I would eat one meal a day.

I ate at a different buffet every day about 2:30 pm.

I ate a ton but did not gain weight.

The things we do when we are young.

I invariably eat too much,to the point I’m miserable.So,I avoid them.
I almost put myself in the hospital at Harrah’s Casino buffet in Las Vegas.Boiled shrimp,all you can eat and already peeled like cocktail shrimp.Then they had Snow Crab legs they run trough a machine that knocks off a portion of the shell.You don’t have to crack them,just take a knife and rake the meat out.
They had gumbo,Actually was pretty good but I only ate about a cup to see how it was.

I generally avoid buffets. I find them to be pretty nasty.
