As a Midwesterner, I have to ask, what do you coastal folks do at your buffets?

[twic]

Well they don't eat batteries, it seems. I know, doesn't make a lot of sense to me either.

[wyldfire]

Maybe they meant the mid-west of some other continent?

[doug1001]

not sure, but i think for buffet restaurants on the coast, "all you can eat" is at the customer's discretion; it's not a legal requirement like it is in the MidWest

I wouldn't really call buffets a coastal phenomenon.

I mean, there's the odd one here or there, but compared to the last time I was in Kansas, they might as well not exist.

I thought buffets were called smorgasbords in the midwest, or is that just Minnesota?

[heydenberk]

Trick question.
