One can easily "dissagree" with that. By the way, I'll
consistently disagree with anyone who starts a sentence with the word but followed by a comma. Especially when what follows is an idiotcy.

Im a quantity guy when it comes to buffets.
I like to pound food until I get so stuffed I need a nap.

Buffets are a big reason why I like being elite in with hotel chains.

Also my favorite thing to do in Vegas is eat buffets.

1. They waste a lot of food
2. Because people think the food is 'free' there is no accountability- leads to aforementioned wastage
3. Encourages bad eating habits

As my mom says: "If you eat a lot, you feel sick afterwards. If you don't eat a lot, you feel like you haven't gotten the best value for money. You can't win."

This thread wasn't really supposed to be a debate on whether you like buffets or not but if you do go to them, how much u eat

If you don't go to buffets, no problem :)

I only go to high end buffets, not the cheap and nasty ones, some are amazing with lots of fresh food

Like several others here, I enjoy the fact that buffets let me sample a variety of different dishes. It increases my enjoyment and lowers the risk that I order one dish that's done poorly.

Buffets are gross. I wouldn't touch that food. God only knows what particles are falling off of various humans into the food. Yuck.

Indian? Absolutely.
Chinese? Sure.
Old Country? Never.

I usually have 2-3 plates of food. If it was for lunch, I usually skip dinner.

But then the same can be said for most restaurants.

I guess it evens the field in that all dishes are done poorly. (Sorry, couldn't resist. :D )

As for Indian buffets, even ones that were highly recommended by my biz brethen, I have found all of them to have sub-par quality food. I have yet to see a "high end" Indian buffet.

I think most people who go to buffets go for quanity not quality, as always they are thinking with their stomach, just look at the people who eat at buffets and I am not trying to be rude, but some of them can hardly fit in their chairs, big stomachs and big rear ends. Buffet areas are not very well kept up, food scattered around the serving area. Not for me, no thanks, unless it is a very upscale restaurant or hotel, I will stay away and if I choose to eat at a buffet I only choose foods that I would not or could not prepare at home, and certainly would not eat more than I normally would.
