All You Can Eat Does Not Mean You Have Too

Mar 27, 2011

On Sunday My kids and I were out running errands early in the morning.  We decided to eat out and my boys pleaded to go to an all you can eat restaurant chain.  They know how I feel about these types of places where they serve you like cattle with troths of food just lined up waiting for the heard to come and eat, but for a child its pure bliss.  I will tell you as a chef the words “ALL YOU CAN EAT” brings out lots of people, but for all the wrong reasons.  As I set eating my small piece of tough steak and overcooked scrambled eggs with my side of frozen fruit, I watched as people piled their plates high with pancakes, French toast, sausage, tacos, and pizza.   Their mind set in my opinion is to see how much they can eat before they feel like they will explode.  On average by looking at the filled plates,  most contained over 1000 calories, and that is just the first trip.  In addition to all of this food they even had the dessert bar open.  With an All You Can Eat restaurant the rules don’t change, eat only what you would as if you where at home, and  think of the all you can eat buffet as a restaurant with a bunch of choices.  As for my kids they did not have dessert after breakfast and no pizza or tacos where on their plates.

Cook Smart…
