I actually liked the clip where peter pulls a gun on a sneezing customer... why not fucking google it if you dont want to see a custom video(this is TH-cam.......)
And did you notice, almost 99% of the pics and videos of buffets shown within this video, did NOT have sneeze guards. Even when they weren't discussing the part about sneeze guards.
Way back when sneeze guards had just been mandated, a friend of mine and I were dining at a buffet and he needed to sneeze so he leaned over and sneezed toward the floor between us. This crusty waitress yelled at him, "We spent $500 on these damn sneeze guards so get up and sneeze on them." I love waitresses like that.
If it looks bad or smells funky, don't eat it. The best way to tell if the buffet is good if there's plenty of steam coming out of them steam tables and keeping everything hot. When serving yourself an item dig to the bottom where it's the hottest. Never got sick at a buffet but I got sick at a restaurant one time because they gave me bad tartar sauce, be careful with anything that has mayonnaise in it. Food poisoning is no joke , it makes you feel horrible. Best wishes to all.
carol driehorst does that rule apply to eating nooky ? smells bad/funky ? dig in deep ?scabs and pus from same a no-no. please advise as women love a lizard tongue.
Worked at a buffet one day. During the “off time” I watched as other employees ran over and ate out of the buffet with their bare hands. I did not return for a second day and really don’t eat at them.
My tip : if no steam from the steam table = do not eat from that one. Cold items should have plenty of ice. I also bring wipees to use on the tongs. I have seen peeps use rest room and not wash hands. After i wash and dry my hands, i use another paper towel to open door. Infection control 101. Hope to help someone.
Buffets in general make my skin crawl. People with unwashed hands, talking, touching, coughing, sneezing, shedding hair, etc near or over the food. YUCK.
Paul N. You also just described your food prepared for you at a sit down restaurant, the only difference you just don't see it as it's all going on in the other room.
Well don't buy any processed meat then... We take procautions like disinfecting and all that, but if you saw what the surroundings looked at half way threw the day. Meat on the floor, grease on everything your gloves touch including yourself. (im not saying the food isn't safely handled, it just doesn't look as clean as youd think)
that fit Asian I agree with you 100% people are so worried about germs and have to have everything clean and disinfected.... and then they wander why there sick all the time our great grand parents COULDN'T worry about this stuff shit and there parents would have to dig holes in the ground to keep there stuff cold like they couldn't even really freeze stuff because they had no electricity
in my 54 years on this planet, I don't recall ever getting food poisoning at a buffet or any restaurant. I've had lousy low quality food that I didn't want to have more than one serving of sure. I grew up in the restaurant biz, and in later life ran food and beverage operations. my standards were always high, never had poisoning outbreak and no one sick to my knowledge. I wonder sometimes when I hear individuals complaining time and again about every place making them sick that it's really most!y am problem with their own digestive process and general health. of course food poisoning does happen, I just think it's fairly rare in truth and more to do with compromised health and other cross contamination not really due to the restaurant.
All about the immune system, those people have probably never had "bad" food or been exposed to germs, "what doesn't kill makes you stronger" is accurate in this instance.
I've had food poisoning 2 times that I can recall and both were from fast food places. One involved me shitting my brains out for 5 hours after eating Carl's jr and the other was from arby's and was so sever I actually went to the hospital. But I was also basically raised on fast food primarily and have only had 2 cases like that, so I guess that's a good thing?
I was in a small town McDonald's and stopped in the bathroom before continuing the road trip. An older woman, who loudly "plopped" left the stall and went out without washing her hands. When we were leaving, she was pulling napkins and straws off the dispensers. It's not just buffets you have to worry about dirty hands.
Seeing this video reminded me of what a friend of mine had once said to me. She said that she would not ever go to the chocolate fountain at Golden Corral because of people of all germs from people double dipping and people putting their fingers into the fountain. My husband and I won't go to buffet restaurants.
I've worked in many restaurants before, and all I can say is Never go with the fish (unless fish is the specialty). As for buffets, not all are bad. The one I worked at for two years was great on some days, and bad the other days. It all depends on the staff. Most Saturday nights everything was clean and stocked, Sunday mornings were terrible, nothing was being stocked, everything was over cooked, but as soon as midshift and night shift got in, we fixed everything right up. It all depends on the staff
Well said. Sunday brunch is forever a "no - go" for me, basically the D - squad, repakaged leftovers from that week & employees that are in trouble for calling in sick on Friday night. I live & worked in restaurants on the Gulf Coast, so our guests could typically have a more devil may care attitude regarding seafood (unless it's the special - then avoid it like the plague unless you're dining in a seafood restaurant - like you said.)
The unidentifiable foods part and the scene from Vegas Vacation really does happen. Years ago in Vegas we went to an off-Strip casino because their buffet was cheap. Standing in line, we realized that there was a lot of stuff we could not recognize so we left.
More signs of a bad buffet...... 1. Skin over gravy, pudding, etc 2.Wilted Lettuces 3. Blotchy white guys sneezing over the sneeze guard 4. Unruly kids standing over the food pointing at things they want while touching the food with their little dirty fingers(I love kids not their germs) 5. Staff pushing old food to the back of the pan and putting the new food in the same pan and then putting old food back on top instead of swapping out the pan altogether. 6. Fish that looks like it's hard like a rock 7. Staff not replacing food fast enough 8. Staff that stares at you with an attitude as you're dishing up your food 9. Food dropped on and around the pans and not cleaned up fast enough 10. Staff packing up food in personal containers in front of customers or chewing as they work. Those are my top 10...But I'm sure there's more and that's why I don't eat out much.
Anon Ymous-Because it was a blotchy white guy that stood next to me and sneezed over the sneeze guard then looked at me smiled and said sorry. When I saw that I left the buffet....there's your answer. Don't like it?! Not my problem.
staff not wearing gloves or who sweat a lot. stains & tables not cleaned. people who "graze" or just look at items. annoying. people who pick items out of dishes. I saw a middle age white guy just get shrimp out of a pasta pan. what the Hell guy! Ive seen greedy a holes take entire pans or trays too. thats just rude. some people are slobs or have no social skills.
I went to Golden Corral once because it was part of a school trip thing and I was so disgusted by everything. I got fish and I had no idea what it was. The only thing that tasted decent was the Mac and cheese, but you can't really go wrong with that.
Try eating at a buffet on a cruise ship when there’s been a disease alert on a recent cruise ship from the same port. They spray your hands with disinfectant before you enter the dining area and watch while you rub your hands together. Then you carry your plate up to the buffet and tell them what you want and they dish it out for you. You’re not allowed to use the tongs or pick up a sugar packet or touch anything. I got yelled at for picking up a box of cereal because no one was standing there. Mashed would’ve have approved. When the all clear was given, it was strange to do things for myself. But no one on my ship had stomach related illnesses!
I had the same experience when I went to a cruise to the Bahamas. I really think it’s all cruises. Food is always always delicious, clean, fresh, and non contaminated. You must put on hand sanitizer and rub it in while they watch you. You had cooks put the food for u on your plate and children were not aloud to wander in the buffet. If you want to go to a Buffett take a cruise lol.
I actually went to a culinary school that went over business management as well. They prepared us for buffets. One of the major things about buffets is that they tend to place the items from the cheapest from the most expensive. Hence why buffets usually start off with salad or cheaper items and then go to the most expensive things, like meats and desserts. fun tips :)
Kasey Centanni I'm sorry to hear that Kasey. My experiences haven't been too. Okay yes the 1st time I ate at a buffet {i was 10 years old} I threw up after eating too much Although the *ONLY* other time eating at a buffet {as an adult} was too bad. {It was in Australia at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital cafeteria}. 🤢👦👤👍🍱🍛🍜🥞🎆🏥🇦🇺🇺🇸
The utensil statement is not true. When I took my Serv-Safe training for school, it stated that all serving tools in a buffet, self-service or not, must be swapped out or cleaned every 4 hours.
If I can't check out a buffet before I pay, I just walk out. I've been accused of being weird, but that's just how I am. I'd rather be weird without food poisoning, rotovirus or some cold or flu.
DalekTurtle Buffet puts me of my appetite,not to mention in my country people eat like a fucking barbarian putting shit all over their face and clothes 😒😷
I went to a Chinese buffet with my gf for morning breakfast and after eating a couple bites, we noticed that the food tasted old (like the day before). We notified the manager and he started to inspect the food. I'm sure he knew but he tried to act innocent and surprised. We ended up leaving with our money back. Awful experience!
I remember when Golden Corral 1st came out, they were unbelievably delicious and a lot of fun but now it's like a convenience store/gas station buffet Lol. Most fast food joints and restaurants used to be Delicious way back in the 1970's but now all restaurants have gone down the toilet. You have to pay a BIG bill at a nice restaurant if you want a decent plate of food nowadays. I actually still remember as a kid when Burger King, Subway and Pizza Hut was very good quality food in the early 70's. I remember when Subway made your subs fresh, made-to-order. The man at Subway sliced the meat fresh right in front of you from a meat slicer and Burger King actually tossed your hamburger meat on a real fire flame grill. Anyone remember when Pizza Hut's pizza cheese actually used to stretch out about 6-8 inches? Nowadays they put Trisodium Phosphate in your breakfast cereal and no one cares. They don't even hide the poisons they put in your food now bec they know people are so dumb down from the media & internet. You can google all the poisons they put in your food and the food companies won't even deny it. Lol. They know you are SO goddamn stupid you'll just eat it with a smile anyways. Lol.
I do tend to agree with you. I'm always a bit leery of buffets. I can't say I've never been to one but it's been on rare occasions and, if I can, I'll always opt for an alternative.
You're just a weak-willed individual with no immune system and a tendency to criticize every waking moment. Live for once outside of your pathetic sterilized bubble and express humanity for once. You've grown stale and disliked, DAVID (That's not my name, I'm just calling you David to spite you...DAVID).
First thing i do before eating anywhere is checking the bathrooms. If it just has air dryers it's strike 1,2 and 3 and i'm out of there. To quote Frank Drebin in the naked gun 2 1/2 when asked if he gambled he said "every time i order out". The only all you can eat buffet that impressed me was Pizza Inn that was located in Huston Texas.
If y’all think a few germs are going to keep me away from my love Golden Corral then you’ve got another thing comin. My immune system is made of DIAMOND
Last Sunday, we ate at Pizza Hut in a small Nebraska town. The staff encouraged us to have the buffet. That was a terrible mistake. I decided on the "healthy" option of just building a salad. The cauliflower turned out to be moldy, the lettuce was wilted, Since the salad ingredients were spare, I thought a slice of pizza would be a good way to fill me up. There were few selections worth considering. There was plenty of dessert pizza (which is meh to me) and a big bowl of chocolate pudding. There is always chocolate pudding at Pizza Huts. I've sworn off the buffet at Pizza Hut. I like their to order pizzas, so they will be the only selections from now on.
Japanese buffets in Japan are amazing! All the food is fresh and usually come straight from the farm that’s on the property of the buffet. The food is always quality and always changing. My favorite has to be our local farmers market buffet because I love vegetables!
My local Chinese restaurant has a buffet at lunch and I’ll go ahead and eat there. It’s a relatively limited menu with only like 10 different things to choose from and open for only two hours. And the restaurant is small and only seats about 50 people
Arcanum Dweller But, is it the same or are there any national differences in what's offered in different countries? I only know the traditional British fare, but I'd love to know what's out on the typical American breakfast buffet.
LoriCiani I can't speak for other continents but in north America you get your typical eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, home fries, bagels, toast ,muffins and a fruit bar. I live in Canada but I have done quite a bit of traveling in the U.S for work and often stay at your larger hotel chains. Is the English breakfast much different?
I stopped going to buffets after I saw a child accidentally drop food from his plate to the floor and place it back into the fresh container. That was a disgusting experience 🤢, and yes I reported it to the staff.
I have a buffet and don't have sneeze guards, but there is someone watching the buffet all the time to minimize gross stuff, I eat here every day and never got food poisoning
That’s the “least of health food laws!” Ha! Worked in hospitality over 35 yrs & food needs to be kept “hot” & salads “cold!” Throw out after so much time( not left out or recycled). I do not eat at buffets..”PERIOD!”🤣
I am sure that people have gotten sick from eating "old" food on buffets. I am also sure that I have never seen a sign such as, "this food was placed on the buffet at X:XX oclock". You are implying that everything on the buffet is a potential hazard if you are worried about when it was put out. I guess the only sure way to know is to get there at opening time and you will have an idea. You still will not know how long it sat in the kitchen. Better to leave buffets alone if you are of that mind set, I am not.
Other hints: 1) if no steam coming from around the serving pan or your first bite of food isn't hot, DON'T EAT! Food isn't at proper temperature to be safe to eat. You're risking food poisoning. 2) piling new food on top of old instead of changing out the whole pan. 3) more food spillage around the containers and counters that is old/crusty. Also, bits of food from other containers in wrong containers (most often from people using the same utensil from one container to another).
Best line I ever heard a customer say at a filthy restaurant "Hey (looks at name tag) Steve, Can you go and tell your manager that the floor is filthy, the toilet needs a clean and........." I've never seen anybody cry like that before getting a mop and a bucket...
I don't know why people would go to Golden Corral. There is going to be a Chinese operated fancy Asian fusion buffet within driving distance for most Americans that offers way more variety at similar price.
the buffet sneeze guard is a bunch of bull .i was getting my bubble tea the other day and they serve ice cream with all the toppings you serve yourself and a mother and kid walked in , and the kid was admiring the toppings and coughed all over the front section of toppings and from the sound of that cough he had a infection!!!!! so being said that sneeze guard does not accomodate the lil ones or the protection of food!
Here we have an all you can eat chinese, spanish indian and japanese restaurabt and most of thr food gets replaced when it's empty (which is fast) or when it is there for more then 30 minutes
I work at a buffet and although we try to (most of us) keep everything clean and all that, there’s so many instances where people drop the germ filled tongs or large spoons into the food and and employee takes it out, doesn’t replace it, and all those germs are then in the food. Sooo gross, or when people skip using the spoon or tong and instead use their hand (usually touching the surrounding food as well).
There's a chinese/Italian/Japanese buffet near where I live that looks better than 90% of the clips in this video. Nice atmosphere, staff frequently changing the food trays, sneeze guards... barely ever see kids there and certainly not running amok. Guess I dodged a bullet with my local buffets...
MIA employees? Yep, hilarious! I’ve seen pre-chewed samples (kid eats it, puts it back), mother brushing 2yo kid’s hair near open ice cream cart (with loose diaper. & kid let loose), “special chicken with tail”, etc. there are many good buffets. But when things go bad, its unbelievable!!
My late father was a meter reader for a Toronto utility. That was back in the days when all meters were inside, usually in basements. He had numerous horror stories about Chinese restaurants, especially those around the Spadina/Dundas area. He saw (in no particular order) lice flying around, various "critters" crawling over crates of vegetables, pails used a toilets, rats and mice (dead and alive), even a dead cat. I'll assume the cat was the next day's Chef's Special. You never know what goes on "behind the counter."
I can beat that. When I lived in Florida, a Chinese restaurant (not buffet) was shut down when health inspectors found two garbage cans in back filled with cat skeletons. Well, how do expect they are going to pay little Chinyung Fat's college education? [TRUE STORY]
My Dad and I attended our first ever buffet at Cici's. We reused our plates not more than three times when we learned that new plates had to be used from staff, LOL.
i don't eat a buffets. i got sick from one so bad one time i vowed if i lived i would never eat at one again. my boss got sick too along with several co-workers
There's a lit buffet I go to where there is Free Friday 8:30-8:45 where the stuff you order is free while the limit is like 5. It's like $2 All you can eat Chinese Food not lying so good. The icecream is unique cos theres butterscotch, cookies and cream, mango, vanilla, strawberry, greentea, strawberry, glutton free, oreo, twist icecream machine where u can mix any icecream flavour 2 flavours max. The reception is like 7/10 not the best but not the worst. Overall, it's an 11/10 experience
I never thought about how everyone is touching the utensils, but now i do, and also children are below the sneeze guard and they also pick the food up with their hands.
Also check how clean the restrooms are. If they are filthy and grime is built up on walls, most likely that reflects on how they respect clean with their food.
When I go to a buffet restaurant, the first thing I do is check out the buffet before I order anything. If it doesn't have what I want and looks bad, I leave and go elsewhere. I love Shoney's!
Well.. you know.. you can just go to high class restaurant instead of cheap buffet if you really mind, I personally don't, I go to buffet pretty often never had any disease also because I'm poorxD
I'm poor too. Let's get married and be poor together. We can have 8 kids and get a shit ton back in taxs, and go to buffets together. You can make ahegao faces while we bang :3
Huh the Old Country Buffet in my town changes the tongs with each new dish brought out. They often have less out during slow times I've noticed (like smaller portions left out) and you can bearly get your arm under the glass. Hey they hit every good mark.
In Nevada they have strict food laws you don’t get food investigators notices and if a restaurant has a sushi bar AND restaurant you need health grades for both
Never get the tea at a buffet. They do a concentrated brew that's usually bad by the next day and the nozzles are almost never cleaned. I used to work at a buffet and was the only one who would clean the tea nozzles. Considering I only worked the front line area once a month, you can imagine the level of gross sludge I had to remove from them. Most of the time I worked in the bakery area, which I kept pristine.
Actually there is a rule that says u have to change out serving utensils & tongs. Serving utensils that are in constant use are to b changed out every 2 hours, and if they are not constantly in use it’s every 4 hours. That’s according to the fda. And managers are supposed to take a class on stuff like that, as well as there supposed to b at least one person (manager/crew leader etc) in the building that possesses safeserv in the building at all times.
0:59 What`s the point of one sneeze guard above the food? While it may give a degree of protection to the food from people sneezing, if your a child your face is right in line with the food, and there is no sneeze guard. I worked in Food Hygiene and would never touch buffet food, hot or cold, its dangerous.
I hate the sneeze guards at some buffets. There is a sweet tomatoes near where I live that had really bad ones. There are two rows of food bins, and I cannot reach the rear row at all, and reaching the front row requires that I bend my knees and contort my arm. I am not short or fat either. I have long skinny arms. I wish that instead of being one-piece, that most sneeze guards had adjustment knobs to control the pitch of the "roof" and its height above the table. Then restaurants could adjust them to be more comfortable.
What is the deal with buffets in Las Vegas and Henderson not letting you get your own soda or other drinks? The biggest reason I go to a buffet is to avoid having to deal with people. I don't want to exchange pleasantries with a waiter, then give him my order, and wait for him to bring me my food. I just want to get my food and eat in solitude. If I have to ask a waiter to get me a soda, that defeats the whole purpose of my going to a buffet. And then, on top of that, I have to leave a tip for the waiter that gets me my drinks. But I shouldn't have to leave a tip at a supposedly self-serve buffet, dammit!
If it's a buffet of ANY kind, I don't leave a tip. I know I'll get lots of "cheapskate" reamrks, but that's why I go to a buffet: self-serve / no tipping. Tip 20% of my entire meal price for a drink? I don't think so. Don't be suckered into tipping just because someone brings you a drink.
No sneeze guards They are required. Also, must be at a maximum of 13 inches or less from the top of the counter. How I would combat this is that I would have them 12.5 inches from the counter. Also, I would have some attendants standing by to monitor for when customers would be reaching in and or putting their face close to the food and other things that are forms of contamination. Tainted Tongs Unless they're dropped on floor they aren’t really changed. This has been a major contributing cause towards cross contamination. How I would combat this is that I would have the tongs changed out every hour with clean tongs. And I would have a special group of employees selected from the regular hired workforce to check them and scrutinize them for cleanliness once they come out of the dishwasher. M.I.A. Employees Sometimes they aren’t around all the time when they're supposed to be. There have been reports of employees who were off taking extra breaks too frequently. How I would combat this is that I would make it mandatory for the employees to be carrying around a water proof PDA or tablet computer which is how they would be getting their real time communications. And they could use them to communicate to other members of the staff. These small hand held tablet computers would also have GPS tracking so the task masters/supervisors would know where they are at throughout their work shift at all times. I would also ensure that all the food would be set on a timer, and the timers would be wirelessly interfaced to the communicators that the employees would be carrying. Those who are assigned to the section which I would have 3 - 4 per shift assigned to the section to ensure freshness of the food. Part time buffet They're just a buffet on the weekends or some strange part of the week, but they're not really a buffet. How I would combat this is that I would make the ultimate decision, is this establishment going to be a full-time buffet to stay a buffet? Or, is this establishment going to not be a buffet and just stay as a order and pay for what you eat type of a restaurant like Applebee’s, Olive Garden, Wingers and Outback steakhouse to name a few? Not making the grade Sanitization scores are not always achieved. Also, not every buffet or restaurant are following the guidelines and such. How I would combat this is that I would bring in a famous chef, Gordon Ramsey to give me and my staff some good pointers, and I would have him give us all written notes and such and have him team up with the federal health department as he is doing this. Anything that they say will be considered gospel law. And therefore, I would institute strict practices so to ensure that this Sanitization code is kept at all times. And that hopefully it will be a shining example to other restaurants of what to be, and this code could have a very good chance to be standardized throughout the entire United States, Canada and Mexico Mystery loaf/meat Not knowing what the meat is exactly, or sometimes they have the signs mixed around and, in most cases, this has led to cross contamination of food. How I would combat this is that I would be sure that before any kind of meat comes in from the food delivery trucks, it would be properly labeled and given a delivery date and everything would be properly sorted into their respective compartments. And before anything is put out in the buffet for the customers to be able to serve/help themselves, I would take steps to make sure that the customers know exactly what they are going to put on their plate. I would also take steps to ensure that any unused portion of the meats that are not used before a certain set time would be disposed of promptly to ensure no meat bound illnesses could have a chance to cause the customers or staff any kind of harm.
Have you ever seen a burusera? Do you know if the used vending machine panties are graded, like from almost new with sweat to vaginal discharge and fecal skidmarks?
'buffets are a staple of our american cuisine' im sorry, this is an international website why do you keep addressing solely america? buffets are a staple of all cuisines, we love buffets in the uk too and we never became independent from anybody
Buffets are barely a “thing” anyways. I can’t name a single one even close to where I live, I’ve only EVER eaten a buffet if it was like a special kinda close nitted private thing like my sister graduating basic in the air force or I was in vegas with my dad
They are bastardized today because the original smorgasboard (in my region) had servers to stop the disgusting people from taking too much, and they kept the area clean. The idea was to give the customer many choices of food, not all you can eat. The last buffet I went to I enjoyed was the Hyatt Regency Savannah, GA for Sunday brunch. They had servers for each section, and should you desire more, you must procure an unused plate. As a matter of fact, I would go to that hotel at every opportunity. Another favorite is the East Bay Inn off of River Street. In the morning they have a small serving area with food cook in the inn (usually consisting of American biscuits with sausage or bacon and coffee and juice. In the evening there is hor dourves with wine or other beverages. The suite had a front living room, large bathroom, dinette, with a rear bedroom and an upstairs bedroom with a sitting area and personal TV. In the morning It's wonderful to watch the ships moving up the river. There is a difference between a Buffet and a hog caller slop hole.
The idea of "All You Can Eat" is repulsive gluttony. Eating until you can't eat anymore is not healthy at all. This video is right about people touching the tongs. When I used to go to buffets, I'd always see people walk in, be seated, the make a mad dash to the buffet. I'd head str8 to the bathroom to wash up. Seems like me and my family were the only ones. Also, seafood plopped *on top* of ice...is it safe?
Generally speaking, food must be terrible in America when compared to civilized countries. That would be the only reason I can imagine why Americans hold eating contests (eat till you barf), food fights and go to all-you-can-eat buffets. The Great Depression of 1929/1939 still leaves its imprint upon the common folks. Eat while you still can because tomorrow it might not be there!
Don't kid yourself. There are far more uncivilised countries out there, that you would probably assume are civilised. And overeating is not just restricted to American people, either. Just look at the stats for obesity rates in most western nations these days. And it has jack to do with the great depression of the early 20th century, for goodness sakes.
My dad told me from a young age to avoid buffets at all cost...nasty kids and adults are no better. I could go years before I step into a buffet. The last one I ate at was on a cruise ship and much to my surprise, it was very well taken care of and they DO change the tongs often. PLUS! Once you see ADULTS picking up the food with their hands, licking their fingers( adults licking their fingers...gross!) and then going and touching tongs... and kids scratching their -butt- and picking their nose, it's enough for me to stay away.
These videos would be so much more enjoyable if they just told you the facts and cut out the random 538493 clips in the middle...

True
Way back when sneeze guards had just been mandated, a friend of mine and I were dining at a buffet and he needed to sneeze so he leaned over and sneezed toward the floor between us. This crusty waitress yelled at him, "We spent $500 on these damn sneeze guards so get up and sneeze on them." I love waitresses like that.

If it looks bad or smells funky, don't eat it. The best way to tell if the buffet is good if there's plenty of steam coming out of them steam tables and keeping everything hot. When serving yourself an item dig to the bottom where it's the hottest. Never got sick at a buffet but I got sick at a restaurant one time because they gave me bad tartar sauce, be careful with anything that has mayonnaise in it. Food poisoning is no joke , it makes you feel horrible. Best wishes to all.
had food poisoning twice..........I think I would have felt better if I had died............YUCK

Worked at a buffet one day. During the “off time” I watched as other employees ran over and ate out of the buffet with their bare hands. I did not return for a second day and really don’t eat at them.
My tip : if no steam from the steam table = do not eat from that one. Cold items should have plenty of ice. I also bring wipees to use on the tongs. I have seen peeps use rest room and not wash hands. After i wash and dry my hands, i use another paper towel to open door. Infection control 101. Hope to help someone.
jan gibson That was very rude and nasty because you implied that you are more superior than other people and that other people are filthy dirty pigs
There is Poop on my Lollipop no he implied how he saw people that didn't wash their hands. that shit is gross
Benson Lee Shit is not gross because it's an important bodily waste
There is Poop on my Lollipop shit is actually sterile once it leaves ur ass but as soon as it touches down in the bowl its bad
To who said i was rude: if u don't care about getms, that's on you.
If it dosn't kill you , it makes you stronger.
Yep, immune system
maybe you should just eat your shit the next time and be a strong boy from it,
Thanks Kelly Clarkson
david.. speaking from experience, are you.
Junk Food makes us stronger
Buffets in general make my skin crawl. People with unwashed hands, talking, touching, coughing, sneezing, shedding hair, etc near or over the food. YUCK.
Paul N. The Mets should make your skin crawl too.
Paul N. You also just described your food prepared for you at a sit down restaurant, the only difference you just don't see it as it's all going on in the other room.
My daily Diet is packaged Noodles and Beef Ravioli
*I’ll take my chances*
Well don't buy any processed meat then... We take procautions like disinfecting and all that, but if you saw what the surroundings looked at half way threw the day. Meat on the floor, grease on everything your gloves touch including yourself. (im not saying the food isn't safely handled, it just doesn't look as clean as youd think)
Giants/Mets/Blazers very true
Instead of sneeze guards, there should be a sliding door/window to get to the food.
Yes, sneezes spread much, much farther and wider than we think.
Yes
WE HAD THOSE IN THE 50's,THEY CALL THEM AUTOMATS. TODAY YOU CALL THEM VENDING MACHINES
Signs things are going badly for you...you are at a buffet.
Tell me about it. And fighting with Mexican kids over the last of the beef fried rice.
All orange chicken being gone after just setting down the tray.
Except Indian buffets, I would highly recommend those, especially if you're unfamiliar with the food.
I haven’t been to a buffet in years cause every time I do I get food poisoning 🤮🤮
Billy Baston Try some nice fancy buffet instead of cheap Chinese buffet
I remember going to a Chinese buffet and using the bathroom, the sushi chef took the biggest dump and left without washing his hands
Ever heard of E. Coli infection?
It’s a Japanese restaurant if it has sushi
I would never eat at a chinese buffet. chinese people have bad hygiene and don't care about other people
Like Poppy on Seinfeld...Poppy was a bit sloppy with the hand washing.
That's what you call organic.😂😂
This just sounds like a good way to keep your immune system in peak performance...
Ryarios Or get food poisoning, your choice.
Liz Myers same thing...😁
Liz Myers, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
😂😂😂
Agreed. That which does not kill me makes me stronger.
"Americans just love us a buffet"
ITS NOT JUST YOU AMERICANS, ITS EVERY OTHER COUNTRY TOO!!
>:C
Yes, I've been to 20+ countries, only place I haven't seen a buffet was Nepal, but that was over 15 years ago so they probably have then now.
Bringing up the revolution was the dumber comment to me.
Old Chinese buffet proverb. When Chinese take a break at a buffet they eat crabs. True story
I knew I was in America when I saw size 50 Levi jeans for sale.
Most of these things won’t bother me. Stronger immune system
that fit Asian you aren’t bothered that you’re being charged for food that’s treated like crap?
Or Salmonella...
I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will.
same
that fit Asian I agree with you 100% people are so worried about germs and have to have everything clean and disinfected.... and then they wander why there sick all the time our great grand parents COULDN'T worry about this stuff shit and there parents would have to dig holes in the ground to keep there stuff cold like they couldn't even really freeze stuff because they had no electricity
in my 54 years on this planet, I don't recall ever getting food poisoning at a buffet or any restaurant. I've had lousy low quality food that I didn't want to have more than one serving of sure. I grew up in the restaurant biz, and in later life ran food and beverage operations. my standards were always high, never had poisoning outbreak and no one sick to my knowledge. I wonder sometimes when I hear individuals complaining time and again about every place making them sick that it's really most!y am problem with their own digestive process and general health. of course food poisoning does happen, I just think it's fairly rare in truth and more to do with compromised health and other cross contamination not really due to the restaurant.
All about the immune system, those people have probably never had "bad" food or been exposed to germs, "what doesn't kill makes you stronger" is accurate in this instance.
Consider yourself lucky. I'm close to your age and I've had it three times. All in the 1980s. It's no fun.
I'm not 54 and I've gotten mega sick off of buffets. Keep in mind that I have been to them *very* rarely.
I've had food poisoning 2 times that I can recall and both were from fast food places. One involved me shitting my brains out for 5 hours after eating Carl's jr and the other was from arby's and was so sever I actually went to the hospital. But I was also basically raised on fast food primarily and have only had 2 cases like that, so I guess that's a good thing?
I've had it twice. I've had food at the dirtiest places and was fine. I ordered fish and had it delivered over an hour later in 114° weather
I was in a small town McDonald's and stopped in the bathroom before continuing the road trip.
An older woman, who loudly "plopped" left the stall and went out without washing her hands.
When we were leaving, she was pulling napkins and straws off the dispensers.
It's not just buffets you have to worry about dirty hands.
We
That's disgusting. I would have shamed her in front of everyone.
Seeing this video reminded me of what a friend of mine had once said to me. She said that she would not ever go to the chocolate fountain at Golden Corral because of people of all germs from people double dipping and people putting their fingers into the fountain. My husband and I won't go to buffet restaurants.
I've worked in many restaurants before, and all I can say is Never go with the fish (unless fish is the specialty). As for buffets, not all are bad. The one I worked at for two years was great on some days, and bad the other days. It all depends on the staff. Most Saturday nights everything was clean and stocked, Sunday mornings were terrible, nothing was being stocked, everything was over cooked, but as soon as midshift and night shift got in, we fixed everything right up. It all depends on the staff
Well said. Sunday brunch is forever a "no - go" for me, basically the D - squad, repakaged leftovers from that week & employees that are in trouble for calling in sick on Friday night. I live & worked in restaurants on the Gulf Coast, so our guests could typically have a more devil may care attitude regarding seafood (unless it's the special - then avoid it like the plague unless you're dining in a seafood restaurant - like you said.)
The unidentifiable foods part and the scene from Vegas Vacation really does happen. Years ago in Vegas we went to an off-Strip casino because their buffet was cheap. Standing in line, we realized that there was a lot of stuff we could not recognize so we left.
More signs of a bad buffet......
1. Skin over gravy, pudding, etc
2.Wilted Lettuces
3. Blotchy white guys sneezing over the sneeze guard
4. Unruly kids standing over the food pointing at things they want while touching the food with their little dirty fingers(I love kids not their germs)
5. Staff pushing old food to the back of the pan and putting the new food in the same pan and then putting old food back on top instead of swapping out the pan altogether.
6. Fish that looks like it's hard like a rock
7. Staff not replacing food fast enough
8. Staff that stares at you with an attitude as you're dishing up your food
9. Food dropped on and around the pans and not cleaned up fast enough
10. Staff packing up food in personal containers in front of customers or chewing as they work.
Those are my top 10...But I'm sure there's more and that's why I don't eat out much.
Why's it gotta be white guys? Sounds like you're a racist to me.
Anon Ymous-Because it was a blotchy white guy that stood next to me and sneezed over the sneeze guard then looked at me smiled and said sorry. When I saw that I left the buffet....there's your answer. Don't like it?! Not my problem.
Misty Nights yup, will do that too,
sorry doesn't kill the germs.
Misty Nights so if it was a black guy you'd say the same thing? kinda stereotyping haha
staff not wearing gloves or who sweat a lot. stains & tables not cleaned. people who "graze" or just look at items. annoying. people who pick items out of dishes. I saw a middle age white guy just get shrimp out of a pasta pan. what the Hell guy! Ive seen greedy a holes take entire pans or trays too. thats just rude. some people are slobs or have no social skills.
I went to Golden Corral once because it was part of a school trip thing and I was so disgusted by everything. I got fish and I had no idea what it was. The only thing that tasted decent was the Mac and cheese, but you can't really go wrong with that.
Try eating at a buffet on a cruise ship when there’s been a disease alert on a recent cruise ship from the same port. They spray your hands with disinfectant before you enter the dining area and watch while you rub your hands together. Then you carry your plate up to the buffet and tell them what you want and they dish it out for you. You’re not allowed to use the tongs or pick up a sugar packet or touch anything. I got yelled at for picking up a box of cereal because no one was standing there. Mashed would’ve have approved. When the all clear was given, it was strange to do things for myself. But no one on my ship had stomach related illnesses!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
I had the same experience when I went to a cruise to the Bahamas. I really think it’s all cruises. Food is always always delicious, clean, fresh, and non contaminated. You must put on hand sanitizer and rub it in while they watch you. You had cooks put the food for u on your plate and children were not aloud to wander in the buffet. If you want to go to a Buffett take a cruise lol.
I actually went to a culinary school that went over business management as well. They prepared us for buffets. One of the major things about buffets is that they tend to place the items from the cheapest from the most expensive. Hence why buffets usually start off with salad or cheaper items and then go to the most expensive things, like meats and desserts.
fun tips :)
so is the best buffet in the world in Las Vegas?
it was the best I had, The Rio was enormous
nope!
Bellagio is rated #1
Expensive but worth it.
Jack Skellington I'm sorry, what?! U can BBQ in buffets?? Where
-"It means the food has been sitting out on the buffet for like, ever." Wow, hilarious. Much bad, very profession
The number one sign.... (drum roll, please) ……. You are at a buffet!
mashed is giving me content i didnt know i wanted
i’ve gotten food poisoning one too many times at a buffet. never ever will i go to a buffet again.
Kasey Centanni I've never got food poisoning I'm actually immune to it
You can get food poisoning anywhere
Kasey Centanni I'm sorry to hear that Kasey. My experiences haven't been too. Okay yes the 1st time I ate at a buffet {i was 10 years old} I threw up after eating too much Although the *ONLY* other time eating at a buffet {as an adult} was too bad. {It was in Australia at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital cafeteria}. 🤢👦👤👍🍱🍛🍜🥞🎆🏥🇦🇺🇺🇸
you should sue
2 days later ...yes I would like the biggest plate you have please
The utensil statement is not true. When I took my Serv-Safe training for school, it stated that all serving tools in a buffet, self-service or not, must be swapped out or cleaned every 4 hours.
Xander i worked in a buffet for about eight months and I can assure you at least the company I worked for never followed that rule.
Am I gonna stop eating from a buffet I already paid for after noticing these? Probably not lol
If I can't check out a buffet before I pay, I just walk out. I've been accused of being weird, but that's just how I am. I'd rather be weird without food poisoning, rotovirus or some cold or flu.
DalekTurtle Buffet puts me of my appetite,not to mention in my country people eat like a fucking barbarian putting shit all over their face and clothes 😒😷
I went to a Chinese buffet with my gf for morning breakfast and after eating a couple bites, we noticed that the food tasted old (like the day before). We notified the manager and he started to inspect the food. I'm sure he knew but he tried to act innocent and surprised. We ended up leaving with our money back. Awful experience!
....it's a buffet is a good sign it's bad
Why?
lol
I remember when Golden Corral 1st came out, they were unbelievably delicious and a lot of fun but now it's like a convenience store/gas station buffet Lol. Most fast food joints and restaurants used to be Delicious way back in the 1970's but now all restaurants have gone down the toilet. You have to pay a BIG bill at a nice restaurant if you want a decent plate of food nowadays. I actually still remember as a kid when Burger King, Subway and Pizza Hut was very good quality food in the early 70's. I remember when Subway made your subs fresh, made-to-order. The man at Subway sliced the meat fresh right in front of you from a meat slicer and Burger King actually tossed your hamburger meat on a real fire flame grill. Anyone remember when Pizza Hut's pizza cheese actually used to stretch out about 6-8 inches? Nowadays they put Trisodium Phosphate in your breakfast cereal and no one cares. They don't even hide the poisons they put in your food now bec they know people are so dumb down from the media & internet. You can google all the poisons they put in your food and the food companies won't even deny it. Lol. They know you are SO goddamn stupid you'll just eat it with a smile anyways. Lol.
the meat is freshly killed in the parking lot now and half assed cooked.
Then make your own food if your standards are so high
@@roadmaster720 I'm not sure why you seem a bit mad. I'm just saying that no one is forcing you to eat any form of fast food
Number sign you're at a bad buffet: You're at a buffet
I do tend to agree with you. I'm always a bit leery of buffets. I can't say I've never been to one but it's been on rare occasions and, if I can, I'll always opt for an alternative.
WTF bro?lol😁
You're just a weak-willed individual with no immune system and a tendency to criticize every waking moment. Live for once outside of your pathetic sterilized bubble and express humanity for once. You've grown stale and disliked, DAVID (That's not my name, I'm just calling you David to spite you...DAVID).
@@3bydacreekside what
r/woosh y'all
First thing i do before eating anywhere is checking the bathrooms. If it just has air dryers it's strike 1,2 and 3 and i'm out of there. To quote Frank Drebin in the naked gun 2 1/2 when asked if he gambled he said "every time i order out". The only all you can eat buffet that impressed me was Pizza Inn that was located in Huston Texas.
If y’all think a few germs are going to keep me away from my love Golden Corral then you’ve got another thing comin. My immune system is made of DIAMOND
Youre not the problem. Its these peoples shitty gut health. They can't metabolize well either. Poor bastards
Last Sunday, we ate at Pizza Hut in a small Nebraska town. The staff encouraged us to have the buffet. That was a terrible mistake. I decided on the "healthy" option of just building a salad. The cauliflower turned out to be moldy, the lettuce was wilted, Since the salad ingredients were spare, I thought a slice of pizza would be a good way to fill me up. There were few selections worth considering. There was plenty of dessert pizza (which is meh to me) and a big bowl of chocolate pudding. There is always chocolate pudding at Pizza Huts.
I've sworn off the buffet at Pizza Hut. I like their to order pizzas, so they will be the only selections from now on.
Japanese buffets in Japan are amazing! All the food is fresh and usually come straight from the farm that’s on the property of the buffet. The food is always quality and always changing. My favorite has to be our local farmers market buffet because I love vegetables!
My local Chinese restaurant has a buffet at lunch and I’ll go ahead and eat there. It’s a relatively limited menu with only like 10 different things to choose from and open for only two hours. And the restaurant is small and only seats about 50 people
In the UK, large hotel chains have a buffet breakfast. You can fill yourself up on unlimited English breakfast foods and pastries, yum!
I'm sure most if nota ll hotels have a buffet breakfast. And not just in the UK.
every big hotel in North America has buffet breakfast lol. I'm sure this goes for the world I imagine
Arcanum Dweller But, is it the same or are there any national differences in what's offered in different countries? I only know the traditional British fare, but I'd love to know what's out on the typical American breakfast buffet.
LoriCiani I can't speak for other continents but in north America you get your typical eggs, bacon, breakfast sausage, home fries, bagels, toast ,muffins and a fruit bar. I live in Canada but I have done quite a bit of traveling in the U.S for work and often stay at your larger hotel chains. Is the English breakfast much different?
Don’t forget about carveries, a good one of those is mind blowing
I stopped going to buffets after I saw a child accidentally drop food from his plate to the floor and place it back into the fresh container. That was a disgusting experience 🤢, and yes I reported it to the staff.
most fancy buffets oversea dont have sneeze guards
I have a buffet and don't have sneeze guards, but there is someone watching the buffet all the time to minimize gross stuff, I eat here every day and never got food poisoning
The last time I went to Golden corral I was getting over being sick I ate and was sicker. This video makes so much sense.
Trays and thongs should be change every 4 hours at least, and spoons for rice should be in hot water all the time according to Health Department.
So if the waitresses change thongs every 4 hours, does that mean the waiters change briefs every 4 also?
Which buffet serves food with thongs??? LOL! Mmm, love that crotch musk. Adds a great flavor to the macaroni and cheese
That’s the “least of health food laws!” Ha! Worked in hospitality over 35 yrs & food needs to be kept “hot” & salads “cold!” Throw out after so much time( not left out or recycled). I do not eat at buffets..”PERIOD!”🤣
I just LOVE this channel
1:15 Peter Knows What To Do.
Mashed...
The only Chanel that won’t take 15 minutes to explain something that takes 5 minutes.
Steer clear of chicken and fish that has been out for more than 2 hours. That is gut rot waiting to happen.
The Open Road lol left chicken unattended on a pan from dinner I made 3 days ago, still good. Grow some balls an hour isn't going to spoil your food
How do you know how long it has been out?
erik svensson - Are you saying you left cooked chicken on the side at room temperature for 3 days? (As in not in the fridge?)
Jeff Stanley - That is the problem, you might not be able to. www.myrecipes.com/how-to/cooking-questions/how-long-can-chicken-be-left-out
I am sure that people have gotten sick from eating "old" food on buffets. I am also sure that I have never seen a sign such as, "this food was placed on the buffet at X:XX oclock". You are implying that everything on the buffet is a potential hazard if you are worried about when it was put out. I guess the only sure way to know is to get there at opening time and you will have an idea. You still will not know how long it sat in the kitchen. Better to leave buffets alone if you are of that mind set, I am not.
Other hints:
1) if no steam coming from around the serving pan or your first bite of food isn't hot, DON'T EAT! Food isn't at proper temperature to be safe to eat. You're risking food poisoning.
2) piling new food on top of old instead of changing out the whole pan.
3) more food spillage around the containers and counters that is old/crusty. Also, bits of food from other containers in wrong containers (most often from people using the same utensil from one container to another).
Old Country Buffet and Golden Corral are nursing homes...
thegreatcalvinio that has to be the stupidest thing I have heard
That's fine. Keep your punk ass at home.
Best line I ever heard a customer say at a filthy restaurant "Hey (looks at name tag) Steve, Can you go and tell your manager that the floor is filthy, the toilet needs a clean and........."
I've never seen anybody cry like that before getting a mop and a bucket...
Very good information. Bye bye Golden Corral
Erwin Schrödinger good stay away from there and your local Chinese buffet
I don't know why people would go to Golden Corral. There is going to be a Chinese operated fancy Asian fusion buffet within driving distance for most Americans that offers way more variety at similar price.
Remember that time a guy found a rat’s head in the chicken only *AFTER* munching it?
Mine is shut down
Golden Corral is probably the best restaurant of all time.
the buffet sneeze guard is a bunch of bull .i was getting my bubble tea the other day and they serve ice cream with all the toppings you serve yourself and a mother and kid walked in , and the kid was admiring the toppings and coughed all over the front section of toppings and from the sound of that cough he had a infection!!!!! so being said that sneeze guard does not accomodate the lil ones or the protection of food!
Here we have an all you can eat chinese, spanish indian and japanese restaurabt and most of thr food gets replaced when it's empty (which is fast) or when it is there for more then 30 minutes
I work at a buffet and although we try to (most of us) keep everything clean and all that, there’s so many instances where people drop the germ filled tongs or large spoons into the food and and employee takes it out, doesn’t replace it, and all those germs are then in the food. Sooo gross, or when people skip using the spoon or tong and instead use their hand (usually touching the surrounding food as well).
There's a chinese/Italian/Japanese buffet near where I live that looks better than 90% of the clips in this video. Nice atmosphere, staff frequently changing the food trays, sneeze guards... barely ever see kids there and certainly not running amok. Guess I dodged a bullet with my local buffets...
I have one unbreakable rule: never eat at a Chinese buffet restaurant
MIA employees? Yep, hilarious! I’ve seen pre-chewed samples (kid eats it, puts it back), mother brushing 2yo kid’s hair near open ice cream cart (with loose diaper. & kid let loose), “special chicken with tail”, etc. there are many good buffets. But when things go bad, its unbelievable!!
Can you make a video about Golden Corral, Cici's Pizza, and similar buffets?
Love the edits!
Who else thought of the family guy joke before it happened
Mike Brand I thought of Simpson's.
My late father was a meter reader for a Toronto utility. That was back in the days when all meters were inside, usually in basements. He had numerous horror stories about Chinese restaurants, especially those around the Spadina/Dundas area. He saw (in no particular order) lice flying around, various "critters" crawling over crates of vegetables, pails used a toilets, rats and mice (dead and alive), even a dead cat. I'll assume the cat was the next day's Chef's Special. You never know what goes on "behind the counter."
I can beat that. When I lived in Florida, a Chinese restaurant (not buffet) was shut down when health inspectors found two garbage cans in back filled with cat skeletons. Well, how do expect they are going to pay little Chinyung Fat's college education? [TRUE STORY]
Watching this while I’m at a buffet 😂
My Dad and I attended our first ever buffet at Cici's. We reused our plates not more than three times when we learned that new plates had to be used from staff, LOL.
i don't eat a buffets. i got sick from one so bad one time i vowed if i lived i would never eat at one again. my boss got sick too along with several co-workers
There's a lit buffet I go to where there is Free Friday 8:30-8:45 where the stuff you order is free while the limit is like 5. It's like $2 All you can eat Chinese Food not lying so good. The icecream is unique cos theres butterscotch, cookies and cream, mango, vanilla, strawberry, greentea, strawberry, glutton free, oreo, twist icecream machine where u can mix any icecream flavour 2 flavours max. The reception is like 7/10 not the best but not the worst. Overall, it's an 11/10 experience
Buffets are so gross in theory, I can never bring myself to eat at one.
I never thought about how everyone is touching the utensils, but now i do, and also children are below the sneeze guard and they also pick the food up with their hands.
SIGNS YOUR AT A BAD BUFFET:
1. Your at a buffet.
Also check how clean the restrooms are. If they are filthy and grime is built up on walls, most likely that reflects on how they respect clean with their food.
Golden Corral is disgusting,,,
Agree
Some of the food at Golden Corral is good
Opinionated Man The salad bar? Lol
you aint kidding. That shit ruined buffets for me. unless its in vegas
The ice cream at Golden Corral is good
When I go to a buffet restaurant, the first thing I do is check out the buffet before I order anything. If it doesn't have what I want and looks bad, I leave and go elsewhere. I love Shoney's!
Well.. you know.. you can just go to high class restaurant instead of cheap buffet if you really mind, I personally don't, I go to buffet pretty often never had any disease also because I'm poorxD
High class restaurant cheap you out of your money you're basically paying for less
I'm poor too. Let's get married and be poor together. We can have 8 kids and get a shit ton back in taxs, and go to buffets together. You can make ahegao faces while we bang :3
Huh the Old Country Buffet in my town changes the tongs with each new dish brought out. They often have less out during slow times I've noticed (like smaller portions left out) and you can bearly get your arm under the glass. Hey they hit every good mark.
Here’s another one:
YOURE AT A DAMN BUFFET
REE
In Nevada they have strict food laws you don’t get food investigators notices and if a restaurant has a sushi bar AND restaurant you need health grades for both
If the tongs fell on the floor they are probably cleaner than all the ones everyone touches lol
Remember everyone shoes step on the floor sooo....
Never get the tea at a buffet. They do a concentrated brew that's usually bad by the next day and the nozzles are almost never cleaned. I used to work at a buffet and was the only one who would clean the tea nozzles. Considering I only worked the front line area once a month, you can imagine the level of gross sludge I had to remove from them. Most of the time I worked in the bakery area, which I kept pristine.
Sidney Ross Singer
What a name 👍🏾
Actually there is a rule that says u have to change out serving utensils & tongs. Serving utensils that are in constant use are to b changed out every 2 hours, and if they are not constantly in use it’s every 4 hours. That’s according to the fda. And managers are supposed to take a class on stuff like that, as well as there supposed to b at least one person (manager/crew leader etc) in the building that possesses safeserv in the building at all times.
When there's not cheese sticks or pizza
0:59 What`s the point of one sneeze guard above the food? While it may give a degree of protection to the food from people sneezing, if your a child your face is right in line with the food, and there is no sneeze guard. I worked in Food Hygiene and would never touch buffet food, hot or cold, its dangerous.
I really enjoy the Jimmy Buffet.
And Warren Buffett
I hate the sneeze guards at some buffets. There is a sweet tomatoes near where I live that had really bad ones. There are two rows of food bins, and I cannot reach the rear row at all, and reaching the front row requires that I bend my knees and contort my arm. I am not short or fat either. I have long skinny arms. I wish that instead of being one-piece, that most sneeze guards had adjustment knobs to control the pitch of the "roof" and its height above the table. Then restaurants could adjust them to be more comfortable.
So #2 You have no way of knowing/telling. Cool.
What is the deal with buffets in Las Vegas and Henderson not letting you get your own soda or other drinks? The biggest reason I go to a buffet is to avoid having to deal with people. I don't want to exchange pleasantries with a waiter, then give him my order, and wait for him to bring me my food. I just want to get my food and eat in solitude. If I have to ask a waiter to get me a soda, that defeats the whole purpose of my going to a buffet. And then, on top of that, I have to leave a tip for the waiter that gets me my drinks. But I shouldn't have to leave a tip at a supposedly self-serve buffet, dammit!
If it's a buffet of ANY kind, I don't leave a tip. I know I'll get lots of "cheapskate" reamrks, but that's why I go to a buffet: self-serve / no tipping. Tip 20% of my entire meal price for a drink? I don't think so. Don't be suckered into tipping just because someone brings you a drink.
This video had very little info and most of the info was common sense.
You should see what goes in the kitchen of any restaurant. Been there. Makes any buffet looks sanitary.
Signs you're at a bad buffet. 1, you're at a buffet...
No sneeze guards
They are required. Also, must be at a maximum of 13 inches or less from the top of the counter.
How I would combat this is that I would have them 12.5 inches from the counter. Also, I would have some attendants standing by to monitor for when customers would be reaching in and or putting their face close to the food and other things that are forms of contamination.
Tainted Tongs
Unless they're dropped on floor they aren’t really changed. This has been a major contributing cause towards cross contamination.
How I would combat this is that I would have the tongs changed out every hour with clean tongs. And I would have a special group of employees selected from the regular hired workforce to check them and scrutinize them for cleanliness once they come out of the dishwasher.
M.I.A. Employees
Sometimes they aren’t around all the time when they're supposed to be. There have been reports of employees who were off taking extra breaks too frequently.
How I would combat this is that I would make it mandatory for the employees to be carrying around a water proof PDA or tablet computer which is how they would be getting their real time communications. And they could use them to communicate to other members of the staff. These small hand held tablet computers would also have GPS tracking so the task masters/supervisors would know where they are at throughout their work shift at all times.
I would also ensure that all the food would be set on a timer, and the timers would be wirelessly interfaced to the communicators that the employees would be carrying. Those who are assigned to the section which I would have 3 - 4 per shift assigned to the section to ensure freshness of the food.
Part time buffet
They're just a buffet on the weekends or some strange part of the week, but they're not really a buffet.
How I would combat this is that I would make the ultimate decision, is this establishment going to be a full-time buffet to stay a buffet? Or, is this establishment going to not be a buffet and just stay as a order and pay for what you eat type of a restaurant like Applebee’s, Olive Garden, Wingers and Outback steakhouse to name a few?
Not making the grade
Sanitization scores are not always achieved. Also, not every buffet or restaurant are following the guidelines and such.
How I would combat this is that I would bring in a famous chef, Gordon Ramsey to give me and my staff some good pointers, and I would have him give us all written notes and such and have him team up with the federal health department as he is doing this. Anything that they say will be considered gospel law. And therefore, I would institute strict practices so to ensure that this Sanitization code is kept at all times. And that hopefully it will be a shining example to other restaurants of what to be, and this code could have a very good chance to be standardized throughout the entire United States, Canada and Mexico
Mystery loaf/meat
Not knowing what the meat is exactly, or sometimes they have the signs mixed around and, in most cases, this has led to cross contamination of food.
How I would combat this is that I would be sure that before any kind of meat comes in from the food delivery trucks, it would be properly labeled and given a delivery date and everything would be properly sorted into their respective compartments. And before anything is put out in the buffet for the customers to be able to serve/help themselves, I would take steps to make sure that the customers know exactly what they are going to put on their plate. I would also take steps to ensure that any unused portion of the meats that are not used before a certain set time would be disposed of promptly to ensure no meat bound illnesses could have a chance to cause the customers or staff any kind of harm.
Unpopular opinion: I FREAKING LOVE BUFFETS
In Japan it’s rare to see those sneeze guards at a buffet. I’ve only seen them at Sizzler I think
Have you ever seen a burusera? Do you know if the used vending machine panties are graded, like from almost new with sweat to vaginal discharge and fecal skidmarks?
'buffets are a staple of our american cuisine'
im sorry, this is an international website why do you keep addressing solely america? buffets are a staple of all cuisines, we love buffets in the uk too and we never became independent from anybody
Buffets are barely a “thing” anyways. I can’t name a single one even close to where I live, I’ve only EVER eaten a buffet if it was like a special kinda close nitted private thing like my sister graduating basic in the air force or I was in vegas with my dad
@@Tom-gv7hc how was the food at your sisters air force graduation buffet?
pretty gud 7/11
Sit down
Stop yelling
They are bastardized today because the original smorgasboard (in my region) had servers to stop the disgusting people from taking too much, and they kept the area clean. The idea was to give the customer many choices of food, not all you can eat. The last buffet I went to I enjoyed was the Hyatt Regency Savannah, GA for Sunday brunch. They had servers for each section, and should you desire more, you must procure an unused plate. As a matter of fact, I would go to that hotel at every opportunity. Another favorite is the East Bay Inn off of River Street. In the morning they have a small serving area with food cook in the inn (usually consisting of American biscuits with sausage or bacon and coffee and juice. In the evening there is hor dourves with wine or other beverages. The suite had a front living room, large bathroom, dinette, with a rear bedroom and an upstairs bedroom with a sitting area and personal TV. In the morning It's wonderful to watch the ships moving up the river. There is a difference between a Buffet and a hog caller slop hole.
I was banned from local Chinese buffet I ate too much
When they said all you can eat, it doesn't include the waitress 😂

Don't be so hard on yourself, dude.
The idea of "All You Can Eat" is repulsive gluttony. Eating until you can't eat anymore is not healthy at all. This video is right about people touching the tongs. When I used to go to buffets, I'd always see people walk in, be seated, the make a mad dash to the buffet. I'd head str8 to the bathroom to wash up. Seems like me and my family were the only ones. Also, seafood plopped *on top* of ice...is it safe?
Generally speaking, food must be terrible in America when compared to civilized countries. That would be the only reason I can imagine why Americans hold eating contests (eat till you barf), food fights and go to all-you-can-eat buffets. The Great Depression of 1929/1939 still leaves its imprint upon the common folks. Eat while you still can because tomorrow it might not be there!
Of course there is a way to eat decent food even in America: decent homecooking or eating out at steakhouses.
Don't kid yourself.
There are far more uncivilised countries out there, that you would probably assume are civilised.
And overeating is not just restricted to American people, either.
Just look at the stats for obesity rates in most western nations these days. And it has jack to do with the great depression of the early 20th century, for goodness sakes.
My dad told me from a young age to avoid buffets at all cost...nasty kids and adults are no better. I could go years before I step into a buffet. The last one I ate at was on a cruise ship and much to my surprise, it was very well taken care of and they DO change the tongs often. PLUS! Once you see ADULTS picking up the food with their hands, licking their fingers( adults licking their fingers...gross!) and then going and touching tongs... and kids scratching their -butt- and picking their nose, it's enough for me to stay away.
