I went to this seafood buffet this evening for dinner as a birthday celebration of my aunt and my cousin. I know in buffets you'd have a lot of food choices, but the sight of seeing a lot of food just makes me feel full! It's weird really, and I no longer feel like eating at all.

Like the Buffet do? I really like, you can choose to their own tastes, you can choose many kinds, you can eat eat their own weight, you can not waste, you can tells us through a magazine, you can eat a few hours, no one will reminder you. Never thought about it and life can be connected to today, on the 19th floor, stroll, see this article, give me a great touch. In particular: self-help, it means that you rely on their own, to take the initiative to seek opportunity. . . . . . My favorite buffet is not a preference to help themselves.
An old man from Eastern Europe to the United States, in Manhattan, a restaurant having a bit of something to eat, he sat beside the empty dinner table, waiting for someone to take his plate to serve a la carte. But no one, he waited a long time, until he saw a woman carrying his full plate of food over a sit opposite him.
There is no waiter asked how the elderly woman, a woman told him it was a self-service restaurant. Sure enough, the elderly saw a lot of food on display in a long line on the stage line up. "From a start you one by one to pick your favorite places to eat vegetables, so you pick the first end to another, they will tell you how much money." A woman told him.
Said the old man ever since he learned to do things in law in the United States: "Here, life is a buffet meal. As long as you are willing to pay what you want can be, you can be successful. But if you simply try to wait for someone else it showed you, you will never succeed not. You have to stand up their own pick up. "
Life is a buffet meal, speak more Well! Self-help, it means that you rely on their own, to take the initiative to seek opportunity. Successful course needs opportunities, but Lady Luck does not tend to sit back and wait to person.

I think buffet is good cuz I can have different types of food~ But the food quality is usually not so good. Even it is expensive~ So I prefer ordering my own~

I like a little bit of both. We typically go to restaurants where we order our own food but sometimes I just get a craving for a buffet so I can eat a little bit of all of the things that look good to me. Sometimes though, looking at all of the food at a buffet is overwhelming, there is just so much to choose from and it is hard to decide which foods to choose. Besides that, I often feel like I am losing money when we go to a buffet because I can't eat enough food to justify the cost of eating at the buffet. Of course, on the upside, at this point, my son is still young enough to eat for free at a buffet.

for me, i would prefer ordering my own since i'm on a diet. and besides, buffets are more expensive than when ordering my own. i also get full easily so i prefer to eat ala carte than buffet.

It depends on what I'm in the mood for. I will sometimes like buffets and sometimes like ordering off the menu. I think that I can eat both of them. I just wish that restaurants were not so expensive because restaurants especailly good ones can really cost a lot of money.

yes I love buffets.lol when you see tehfood your automatically not hungry anymore.lol I've never heard that one before. I like being to have a sense of variety, and not having to wait to get my plate, and if there is something new, I can see and smell what it looks like right there instead of ordering it, getting it 10mins later and deciding whether i like it or not.

AHHH...Food...Buffets...
Hi laydee, boy you have my taste buds on the rise. I love to go to Buffets. For one they are cheaper considering the amount you can eat and all the choices. When I go to a buffet I always over do it..LOL Maybe that is why I like, No wait I love them buffets..You have a nice day and I hope you had a wonderful family dinner...

It depends how I'm feeling.
If I want a lot of food, the buffet will be my choice.
If I want quality food, I will order something at a restaurant.
I like a good restaurant and some good company but buffet where you can eat as much as you want is just great:)
But food is the best when its free:p
take care

i like buffets because i dont have to think anymore of what to eat, instead i will just choose from varieties of foods. the best thing to do when there is a buffet is that don't eat so many but rather eat in a small share then rest for a while and then go back to the table to eat again.

Hi Laydee,Of course I like buffet specially when I'm hungry,you just get what you want to eat,because everything is ready.While ordering foods takes almost 30 minutes to wait.Hope you consider my idea.thanks and good night.

i like ordering my own dishes as I am big food lover and if i do not get my favourite food than i want to run away in a restaurant and have wahtever i want in whatever amount.
But in buffet our hands are quite bounded and go again and agin for the same food stuff even if u are willing is not good.

I used to really like buffets when I was younger but now that I've gotten older, I find that I prefer "quality" over "quantity". I just can't eat that much in one meal anymore.

It really depends on what will be in the buffet menu. And if they had a dessert buffet as well, that would be a total +++++++! Hahahaha :) I love buffets as you can eat even more than your money's worth. I've been cutting on my food intake to slim down, so I go for the plated ones. But when I'm really hungry, I go for the buffet :)

Depending on the Buffet, I can eat a lot. I love the buffets where they have steaks or seafood choices. I am also big on vegetable choices, although I am picky how they're prepared. Being from the south I tend to want my veggies seasoned with bacon. That makes them taste so much better.
