7 Buffet Commandments
Joke version of the biblical 10 commandments, It's the seven rules you must follow to correctly eat at a buffet to get your money's worth.
1. A buffet is a direct challenge to the consumer, by the restaurant. Their goal is to get more money out of you than you eat in order to make a profit.
2. Thou shall eat Meats. Meats, meats, meats, and more meats. The highest dollar items they want you to eat goes in this order: Lobster, Beef /steak, Pork, Chicken, fish and crab and shrimp /shelled seafood.
3. Avoid all bread. This includes garlic bread, croissants, butter rolls and anything that would be considered a starter or side bread. Bread is the least cost, high filling offering at a buffet.
4. Avoid the salad bar unless it's to go get shredded cheese, shredded ham, or sliced hard boiled eggs. Salads are the second cheapest offering in order to fill you up. Understand that a Buffet does not have appetizers. That isn't the point.
5. Avoid drinking sodas, fruit juices, and any filling sugary drinks whenever possible. Water is the best in small doses while eating. Remember that liquids expanded any kind of breading or rice.
6. Avoid breaded foods heavily heavy in starch like potatoes or rice. Pizza slices, french fries, pasta and breaded nuggets, like bread, these expand in your stomach. They are certainly delicious, just be certain you choose them sparingly.
7. There's always room for Jello.
