Ie, it may be "full" in terms of what you can order from the chef, but it's not as full of choices of the things that used to be at the buffet. At the typical HGI buffet, you could choose which of various fruits in various bowls to mix to what degree, but this ordering off a "full" menu sheet doesn't give you that option. Nor does it give the option of scooping out however much you want of plain yogurt and then putting your fruit in there; the only yogurt these days tends to be pre-packaged with one fruit or another already pre-mixed.
We will all miss the concept of the buffet. I don't see the concept of the buffet where you get to do this sort of thing yourself, coming back anytime soon. It may work to a degree with an employee serve buffet, but it won't be the same as picking exactly what you want and controlling precisely the portions yourself.
