That's not really very different from making dinner of bar snacks... There was a time when you could put a pretty good "meal" together from the bar snacks, for the price of a drink or two...

And a century ago there were free lunch counters in the saloons...

A concern of mine is that with the increase in buffets, what is that doing to the quality of the food we eat? How much of that crab and shrimp and other food is obtained from areas where the quality standards are less than we'd like to believe?

There's also the environmental aspect. Much of that cheep crab is Russian, and the Russian crab beds are in danger of being over fished and seriously depleted, as the Russian fishing industry doesn't have the limits and standards the US does. What about heavy metal content in that cheep shrimp from SE Asia?

Bring back the good old days!

I think the OP about the "Buffet abuse" shows those days are gone forever. It just takes a few to abuse a system to shut it down.

"Hey barkeep, I would like to order a water, also do you have any more plates for the free lunch counter?"
