  • There's nothing better than a tasty unlimited buffet when you're hungry for...anything and everything. And while this is typically an occasion when it's best to take leave of your senses and feed, we're sad to say that your trip to the buffet may make you vulnerable to various illnesses. That's right; while some buffets are clean and fastidiously maintained, others simply aren't. From too-low temperatures to food that sits out too long (not to mention all sorts of potential issues in the kitchen), buffets have more vectors for disease than the average restaurant. Here are gross things you never knew about eating at a buffet.

      I too never got sick before from eating at any. I have eaten at quite a few. Mostly in Las Vegas & cruises though. I try to actually wait until a new batch of food comes out. You can tell when they will refill it because it is very low or hardly any food in it. So I figure wait for new batch which will probably be safer. Also I like it when cooks make you stuff there right on spot. So many times I have been to buffets where for instance they'll make me pasta with sauce right then & there or they'll make me crepes....or tacos. That way you know it's freshly made. Actually at buffets, once I saw a lady grab a food item with her bare hands and then put it back. I didn't say anything to her or the staff. I should have though. I was kind of in shock though. Certain people don't think about germs though. I also can't believe 66% of people don't wash their hands after they use bathroom. That's just gross. That is why I don't trust people to have the same good hygiene as I do. I seriously feel like smacking those people in the head that don't wash their hands. Gross azz muther fcks.

    I worked (work) at a restaurant through the vast majority of the pandemic. We are a VERY trendy restaurant and because of that and the desire my boss feels to get more money they added 8 tables to our second floor there was maybe a foot of space between all 19 tables. And also I was the only employee who wore a mask once the mandate was lifted and I got covid from working there…… restaurants in general aren’t always as safe or cleanly as the seem and should br

    I've managed restaurants for four corporations. What's in the food is important, and you never know what might be in it. If you're afraid of what employees might do, don't. Whatever they do that's a prank is doubtless harmless. Now, what is all-important is how the food is handled. Temperatures are everything. I only got ill twice, both times by bad food handling. One was the 'eternal buffet'(food put out again and again) and the other, a product stored above the chill temperature required.

    Once at a Shoney's in San Antone (it closed last year after decades - the last one in Tx) I was getting some syrup out of the big thing of it on the buffet and served up a large plastic serving spoon that was submerged down in it. Kinda grossed myself out when I thought of all the hands that had must have been touching it lol. Put that out of my head as I still planned on more food (BACON!) I got my syrup on my mini pancakes and wasn't sick. MISS THE ALL YOU CAN EAT BACON! yum yum yum
