buffer food 

A meal prepared in such a way that its presentation and/or appearance will generate its own conversation, thereby eliminating awkward communication among incompatible guests.
Imma fix a series of buffer food courses for tomorrow night's dinner party, and hoping like hell that people will focus on the food instead of pushing each other's buttons.

Fast food Buffet 

Going to at least 3 fast food restaurants and getting something from each.
The wife and I are getting fast food buffet tonight.

never bring food to a buffet 

an expression which basically asserts that it is unnecessary (and often self-defeating) to be accompanied by someone of the opposite sex to an event where there are likely to be a significant amount of unattached people who are potentially looking for an opportunity to "hook up".

applies of course to those who are not married or not in a steady, long term relationship.
"so, are you going to Darren and Tracey's wedding? I hear there will be lots of hot singles there!"

"for sure. maybe I should bring along a date, what do you think?"

"no no no, my friend......remember....NEVER bring food to a buffet!"
