Creator's Key Takeaways

I just love the variety of food, how easy it is to get in and out, and the fact there's something for everybody.

Number one is I'll wash my hands even if I just did it.

The second thing I'll do is get a seat first, then go to the buffet.

My absolute favorite is the Asian stir fry followed by the pasta station.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Wash your hands every time you enter or exit the buffet.
✓Find a seat before getting food to avoid awkward walks with full plates.
✓Check out all buffet stations before loading your plate to avoid waste.
✓Prioritize cooking stations for customized dishes.
✓Never reuse the same plate or silverware.
✓Use tongs instead of bare hands to grab food.
