Buffet

Does anyone else besides me and my core circle of friends LOVE buffet? I mean, when you really think about it, it’s a competition between your stomach and your dollars. Could it BE any better?

Well actually, it could be. At the Caramar Sizzler they offer take away, which quite frankly is ludicrous. But if you spin it the other way to have ‘doggy bags’ on offer, then buffet just became the new sliced bread. An avid buffet-er suggested to me that you should be able to take two take-away boxes as doggy bags. To me that is greedy – shame on you!

I suggest that after your meal, you are allowed to take ONE item with you. Whatever item you want. Firstly, I think this would make people think about their priorities – do you take something you haven’t tried or do you take something you thought was fabulous? Do you take the most expensive item or do you take a French Fry because you can never have too much potato?

Secondly, I think this would add a touch of amusement to the otherwise mundane and dirty duties of the hospitality staff. Just imagine if someone chose to take a prawn or a teabag, I bet there would be some interesting pooling going on in the kitchen.

I mean, if this came into fruition I think I would visit buffet roughly 6 out of 7 nights in the week. So anyone who runs a buffet, please feel free to contact me re this idea. If I see it happen somewhere without my consent, I will hunt you down.
