Creator's Key Takeaways
The eggs that went into the tray at 6:30 were fluffy, moist, and properly seasoned. The eggs you're scooping at 7:45 are rubbery, dry, slightly gray around the edges, and have released a pool of water onto the tray that most passengers politely ignore.
The omelet you receive from a cruise ship omelet cook is genuinely one of the best omelets you'll eat anywhere because the person making it has more daily practice than any chef at any brunch restaurant you've ever visited on land.
The buffet bacon at 9:15 is not the same product as the buffet bacon at 6:45. And the passengers eating it late have no idea what they missed an hour earlier.
The geography of the buffet is the map that separates passengers who eat well from passengers who eat conveniently. And now you know which direction to walk.
