More info please? I tried to find it by Googling but found I was slogging mostly through Berlin sites, at least on the first page or so, so I gave up--quicker just to ask you. Specifically, are you talking about Fredericksburg, TX? And what items on the buffet, for a general overview?

In general, to the OP's question: I thought breakfast buffets were the main reason for traveling. (No, no, I don't mean it. )

I posted a similar thread over in the Hilton forum about two years ago, “Most Enjoyable Breakfast Buffets,” started June 21, 2005,

I was such a newbie at that time that it didn't occur to me to use this forum. So glad someone started a general and a recent thread! Update since then--not buffets in general but buffets containing specific items:

Smoked eel at the Rome Hilton Cavalieri this past Easter. Bless them, my DH's favorite dish, and difficult to obtain--last time we encountered it was at the food section at the KaDeWe department store in Berlin.

Pancakes at the Embassy Suites at Hot Springs (I didn’t dare try them—my conscience got the better of me, fortunately or unfortunately—but they looked magnificent, dark brown, exactly like those I remember from childhood)

Marinated, presumably uncooked fish-sauerkraut rollups in a hotel on the town square at Cesky Krumlov. One time in a lifetime is enough for this dish, but once, what fun!

The deep red orange juice made from freshly squeezed blood oranges at the Cavalieri and at the Rome Airport Hilton

For non-buffets, a dish remembered from years ago: Omelets, at the Inn of the Mountain Gods, many years ago. (The Inn of Mtn Gods website calls this place a new resort/casino, but I’m not sure why. The Inn of the Mountain Gods has been there for ages, near Ruidoso, NM.) The omelets were puffy beyond puffy and deep, deep brown.

With all those memories, time to get moving: Am going to jog today, tomorrow, the next day, and. . . .
