Oh what a blast from the past. That was a special treat bestowed on me by my father. I couldn't believe you could have little glass doors to open and take a piece of pie.:coolsmiley:

Remember someone actually serving you a spoonful (portion) of this and a serving of that?

Go to the cashier and pay then sit & eat then return your tray.

Commence the comments.

OK, here's a comment: I loved to eat at cafeterias, especially Luby's in Texas. Everything cooked from scratch. Desserts to die for. Cafeterias were a feature of the South, but I guess they're gone for good.

Can't imagine how a place like the Golden Coral can reopen--the public will be scared stiff to set foot in the place

The worst buffets are on cruise ships. I have seen foreigners ( I won't say which countries but one begins with a C and the other one with an I ) reach in with their bare hands, or take a piece on a serving spoon, sniff it, then put it back...and don't even get me started on the soft serve ice cream machine at the back with all the little urchins rubbing their hands all over...if I do go on a cruise it will be table service only for me.

Didn't Sars just up and disappear one day never to be seen again?

The trouble with this thinking is if you get sick you can pass it on to others It’s ok if you want to take a risk, but you also choose to put others at risk. We need to think about the community as well as ourselves

1) The 1st World War 1914-1918

2) The 1918 Pandemic 20,000 people died in Philadelphia alone.

3) The Great Depression 1929 late 30's.

4) Followed by World War 2

Now think of that and think of Covid 19.....

Time for the World to get back to normal and yes do this :)

More people have died from the Corona virus than died in the Vietnam war

And 37,000 died in car accidents last year. What is your point?

After today we will see how long they can survive at 25% capacity and no bar.

By by buffets, carbs, fat and sugar are no way to go through life healthy.

Isn't Burger King open during this pandemic? I know Mad Donald's is open for drive through. We were there this morning for breakfast.

I sincerely hope the government does not use this as incentive to impose new restrictions. Time will tell.

I have never given flu season even half a thought. I've never had a flu shot and have never had the flu. To be honest, until this latest pandemic, I never knew people died from the flu. Honestly did not know!!!

This article is from 2 days ago. Three locations in South Florida are closing permanently......
