Horror Buffet Experience

>C'mon JohnL...you never played Twister with girls when you were younger? Let's
>have the truth now, don't be shy :-)

Unfortunately, no. I had a rather sheltered childhood. :(

Twister is nothing. Have you ever played strip Twister, where every time you fall over, you have to remove an article of your clothing? Now, I hear that is a game to remember.

ONe thing i learned years ago - never eat at casino buffet's. NEVER! From Vegas to Shreveport, only bad things can come of it. It's fitting tho, why not take a gamble at eating too. A cheap buffet is a casinos way of keeping you in their building and leaving from eating. The assure of inexpensive food and alot of it, you think they're going to serve you the finest? It's probably stored in unsafe temperatures and days old. Most of the time they are not labelled so you really don't know what you are eating.

One rule of thumb I have with buffets is they are a potential health hazard so i never eat at one unless it's from a trusted restaraunt I have frequented on many occasions in the past.

Even the best buffets that I have been to have an ocassional crusty plate or a hot wet one with a bit of the last diners meal still clinging to it.

Look at it this way. Maybe buffets are a good way to build up your immunities. : )

Just something about the idea of dining out where your food has to be protected by a sneeze guard....which only works if you are tall. Short people and children can sneeze away. Not to mention people i've seen who touch the food or drop some of theirs and pick up that piece of chicken and drop it in the appropriate bin. It's really not that much more repulsive than some third world countries where i've seen them hanging up pieces of meat to sell on the streets.

Forget the sneeze guard - the spoons which sit in the bins all day are probably loaded with snot and sneeze and cooties and we have to touch them to dish out the food. god bless purell

Reguardless of plates, utensils, and buffet guards eating out in general is risky. Any fast food joint or eating establishment has employees who work sick. They have to work to pay their bills and the employer dosn't say anything. Even your check out at grocery stores or any business cashier close enough to hand you your cash. No way to avoid it, but it sure is fun trying.  : )
