So sad these places closed. I don't know how buffets can survive these days. Those places could be pretty gross even before covid. Maybe if they had tall sneeze guards and servers plating the food cafeteria style instead of self-serve?



I never liked buffets because germ stuff aside, I can't stand piling a bunch of food on my plate that doesn't' go together and it all mushing together and standing on line like a heard of cattle for my food. Chat Icon But I have heard that some buffet places have opened- like Chinese buffets etc- and some just have someone serving you the food rather than everyone grabbing utensils and touching it. And you have to wear your mask obviously while getting your food.
So I guess they found a way to work around Covid, but it's still not for me!



I've always been grossed out at the thought of people breathing all over the food, everyone touching the serving spoons after they've licked the bbq sauce off their fingers, etc Chat Icon I guess they could make it work though with some adjustments like limiting the amount of people getting on line at once and having servers.

I have also witnesses people allow their children to go up to the salad bar or buffet or whatever and next thing you know you see the kids running their hands through the sunflower seeds or croutons like it's a sand box Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
