b"GamerDude returns to one of his favorite topics: food! This week, he talks about salad bars and buffet restaurants, both how they used to be, and how COVID may result in their disappearance because of the way people have been\\xa0treating them. He talks about the steakhouse buffets he first discovered at places like Ponderosa, Sizzler and Bonanza, and describes the huge salad bars you used to find there. He talks about the Wendy's salad bar that used to exist, and how it was a god-send to a starving college student.\\n\\nHe also talks about discovering breakfast buffets while on a trip with his dad. He explains how the breakfast buffet is the perfect setting for someone who likes breakfast food as much as he does.\\n\\nHe also talks about how places like Golden Corral, and the local Chinese, Indian and Asian Buffet restaurants have taken the concept of the salad bar and expanded it to every type of food. He talks about the various things he's eaten at\\xa0buffets, and how people's attitude towards and behavior at salad bars and buffets over the years has changed the experience for the worse. And, he speculates that COVID may change (and possibly eliminate) the concept of a buffet restaurant permanently."
