I'm probably going to get kicked off of Spice Place for saying this but my favorite was (It closed) Ryans. It was one of those buffet jobs where you were eating 60 seconds after coming in the door. Always full of contruction workers and truck drivers and my wife hated it. It actually always had baked tuna (not canned) and baked chicken and could be fairly healthy if you picked right. Their Spaghetti and meat sauce was better then the Italian place everyone went to (not Olive Garden) and the salad bar was full of cut fresh fruit.
Not a thing wrong with that JP! And you make some good points there- they have a great selection of salad bar ingredients, and fresh fruits (very low sodium there) & as always tons of choices! Also you could always order a steak with no added salt and a baked potato and not add a drop of salt, then have the salad bar on the side and wa-la you'd have it made!
On some occasions not many I try out buffet dinners, what bothers me is that I want to taste everything and cannot, everything looks sooooo delicious, I call it food torture!
I agree w/ Cathy, JP...
I sure ain't no food-snob, that's fer shure.
I cooked for 25 years at some fine, fine places.
Worked at elegant Alaskan lodges operated by Princess Cruiselines for years- also hotels, country clubs, and many foo-foo places. Loved the finer kitchens- but the final few years of my career I side-stepped out of gourmet stuff and cooked at remote site work-camps for the oil, mining and commercial-fishing workers. Cooked nothing but meat and potatoes- and LOTS OF IT for the guys. It was very rewarding- didn't miss a thing about the fancy-schmancy stuff.
Today? I enjoy all stlyes of food from the foo-foo nouvelle cuisine to slung hash and truck stop grub! I even have my fair share of suppers of microwave popcorn, ramen noodles, bologna sandwiches & canned soup, and peanut-butter toast!
I just love food- and I ain't too good to enjoy any of it!
