[@ludmilasierra2508]

True

[@JimForeman]

Way back when sneeze guards had just been mandated, a friend of mine and I were dining at a buffet and he needed to sneeze so he leaned over and sneezed toward the floor between us. This crusty waitress yelled at him, "We spent $500 on these damn sneeze guards so get up and sneeze on them." I love waitresses like that.

[@jangibson6650]

My tip : if no steam from the steam table = do not eat from that one. Cold items should have plenty of ice. I also bring wipees to use on the tongs. I have seen peeps use rest room and not wash hands. After i wash and dry my hands, i use another paper towel to open door. Infection control 101. Hope to help someone.

[@caroldriehorst1165]

If it looks bad or smells funky, don't eat it. The best way to tell if the buffet is good if there's plenty of steam coming out of them steam tables and keeping everything hot. When serving yourself an item dig to the bottom where it's the hottest. Never got sick at a buffet but I got sick at a restaurant one time because they gave me bad tartar sauce, be careful with anything that has mayonnaise in it. Food poisoning is no joke , it makes you feel horrible. Best wishes to all.

[@drexx866]

I've worked in many restaurants before, and all I can say is Never go with the fish (unless fish is the specialty). As for buffets, not all are bad. The one I worked at for two years was great on some days, and bad the other days. It all depends on the staff. Most Saturday nights everything was clean and stocked, Sunday mornings were terrible, nothing was being stocked, everything was over cooked, but as soon as midshift and night shift got in, we fixed everything right up. It all depends on the staff

[@monkeyman2407]

Well said. Sunday brunch is forever a "no - go" for me, basically the D - squad, repakaged leftovers from that week & employees that are in trouble for calling in sick on Friday night. I live & worked in restaurants on the Gulf Coast, so our guests could typically have a more devil may care attitude regarding seafood (unless it's the special - then avoid it like the plague unless you're dining in a seafood restaurant - like you said.)

[@k1e1n1t1o]

in my 54 years on this planet, I don't recall ever getting food poisoning at a buffet or any restaurant. I've had lousy low quality food that I didn't want to have more than one serving of sure. I grew up in the restaurant biz, and in later life ran food and beverage operations. my standards were always high, never had poisoning outbreak and no one sick to my knowledge. I wonder sometimes when I hear individuals complaining time and again about every place making them sick that it's really most!y am problem with their own digestive process and general health. of course food poisoning does happen, I just think it's fairly rare in truth and more to do with compromised health and other cross contamination not really due to the restaurant.

[@josharntt]

All about the immune system, those people have probably never had "bad" food or been exposed to germs, "what doesn't kill makes you stronger" is accurate in this instance.

I've had food poisoning 2 times that I can recall and both were from fast food places. One involved me shitting my brains out for 5 hours after eating Carl's jr and the other was from arby's and was so sever I actually went to the hospital. But I was also basically raised on fast food primarily and have only had 2 cases like that, so I guess that's a good thing?

[@MistyNights35]

More signs of a bad buffet...... 1. Skin over gravy, pudding, etc 2.Wilted Lettuces 3. Blotchy white guys sneezing over the sneeze guard 4. Unruly kids standing over the food pointing at things they want while touching the food with their little dirty fingers(I love kids not their germs) 5. Staff pushing old food to the back of the pan and putting the new food in the same pan and then putting old food back on top instead of swapping out the pan altogether. 6. Fish that looks like it's hard like a rock 7. Staff not replacing food fast enough 8. Staff that stares at you with an attitude as you're dishing up your food 9. Food dropped on and around the pans and not cleaned up fast enough 10. Staff packing up food in personal containers in front of customers or chewing as they work. Those are my top 10...But I'm sure there's more and that's why I don't eat out much.

[@netanner1]

I actually went to a culinary school that went over business management as well. They prepared us for buffets. One of the major things about buffets is that they tend to place the items from the cheapest from the most expensive. Hence why buffets usually start off with salad or cheaper items and then go to the most expensive things, like meats and desserts. fun tips :)

Try eating at a buffet on a cruise ship when there’s been a disease alert on a recent cruise ship from the same port. They spray your hands with disinfectant before you enter the dining area and watch while you rub your hands together. Then you carry your plate up to the buffet and tell them what you want and they dish it out for you. You’re not allowed to use the tongs or pick up a sugar packet or touch anything. I got yelled at for picking up a box of cereal because no one was standing there. Mashed would’ve have approved. When the all clear was given, it was strange to do things for myself. But no one on my ship had stomach related illnesses!

[@malakdahri7710]

I had the same experience when I went to a cruise to the Bahamas. I really think it’s all cruises. Food is always always delicious, clean, fresh, and non contaminated. You must put on hand sanitizer and rub it in while they watch you. You had cooks put the food for u on your plate and children were not aloud to wander in the buffet. If you want to go to a Buffett take a cruise lol.

Most fast food joints and restaurants used to be Delicious way back in the 1970's but now all restaurants have gone down the toilet. You have to pay a BIG bill at a nice restaurant if you want a decent plate of food nowadays. I actually still remember as a kid when Burger King, Subway and Pizza Hut was very good quality food in the early 70's. I remember when Subway made your subs fresh, made-to-order. The man at Subway sliced the meat fresh right in front of you from a meat slicer and Burger King actually tossed your hamburger meat on a real fire flame grill. Anyone remember when Pizza Hut's pizza cheese actually used to stretch out about 6-8 inches? Nowadays they put Trisodium Phosphate in your breakfast cereal and no one cares. They don't even hide the poisons they put in your food now bec they know people are so dumb down from the media & internet. You can google all the poisons they put in your food and the food companies won't even deny it. Lol. They know you are SO goddamn stupid you'll just eat it with a smile anyways. Lol.

Last Sunday, we ate at Pizza Hut in a small Nebraska town. The staff encouraged us to have the buffet. That was a terrible mistake. I decided on the "healthy" option of just building a salad. The cauliflower turned out to be moldy, the lettuce was wilted, Since the salad ingredients were spare, I thought a slice of pizza would be a good way to fill me up. There were few selections worth considering. There was plenty of dessert pizza (which is meh to me) and a big bowl of chocolate pudding. There is always chocolate pudding at Pizza Huts. I've sworn off the buffet at Pizza Hut. I like their to order pizzas, so they will be the only selections from now on.

[@golders99]

Jeff Stanley - That is the problem, you might not be able to. www.myrecipes.com/how-to/cooking-questions/how-long-can-chicken-be-left-out

[@jeffstanley4593]

I am sure that people have gotten sick from eating "old" food on buffets. I am also sure that I have never seen a sign such as, "this food was placed on the buffet at X:XX oclock". You are implying that everything on the buffet is a potential hazard if you are worried about when it was put out. I guess the only sure way to know is to get there at opening time and you will have an idea. You still will not know how long it sat in the kitchen. Better to leave buffets alone if you are of that mind set, I am not.

mashed is giving me content i didnt know i wanted

[@teejaykaye]

There's a chinese/Italian/Japanese buffet near where I live that looks better than 90% of the clips in this video. Nice atmosphere, staff frequently changing the food trays, sneeze guards... barely ever see kids there and certainly not running amok. Guess I dodged a bullet with my local buffets...

[@michaelmerck7576]

I have one unbreakable rule: never eat at a Chinese buffet restaurant

[@budmangt2]

I never thought about how everyone is touching the utensils, but now i do, and also children are below the sneeze guard and they also pick the food up with their hands.

[@sugawallz910]

Golden Corral is disgusting,,,

[@tobiasj2455]

Agree

[@opinionatedman9273]

Some of the food at Golden Corral is good

[@tobiasj2455]

Opinionated Man The salad bar? Lol

[@loveforthegame3]

you aint kidding. That shit ruined buffets for me. unless its in vegas

[@opinionatedman9273]

The ice cream at Golden Corral is good

[@toyman9642]

My late father was a meter reader for a Toronto utility. That was back in the days when all meters were inside, usually in basements. He had numerous horror stories about Chinese restaurants, especially those around the Spadina/Dundas area. He saw (in no particular order) lice flying around, various "critters" crawling over crates of vegetables, pails used a toilets, rats and mice (dead and alive), even a dead cat. I'll assume the cat was the next day's Chef's Special. You never know what goes on "behind the counter."

[@brianpan6453]

I can beat that. When I lived in Florida, a Chinese restaurant (not buffet) was shut down when health inspectors found two garbage cans in back filled with cat skeletons. Well, how do expect they are going to pay little Chinyung Fat's college education? [TRUE STORY]

[@kurlykayla9013]

Buffets are so gross in theory, I can never bring myself to eat at one.

[@defenderoffreespeechpronra336]

When I go to a buffet restaurant, the first thing I do is check out the buffet before I order anything. If it doesn't have what I want and looks bad, I leave and go elsewhere. I love Shoney's!

[@annihilatedbutcomingback1119]

If the tongs fell on the floor they are probably cleaner than all the ones everyone touches lol

SIGNS YOUR AT A BAD BUFFET: 1. Your at a buffet.

[@glasslinger]

I go to a buffet every once in a while to build up my immune system! :)

[@venaguajardo3215]

the buffet sneeze guard is a bunch of bull .i was getting my bubble tea the other day and they serve ice cream with all the toppings you serve yourself and a mother and kid walked in , and the kid was admiring the toppings and coughed all over the front section of toppings and from the sound of that cough he had a infection!!!!! so being said that sneeze guard does not accomodate the lil ones or the protection of food!

[@TheBSishere]

Huh the Old Country Buffet in my town changes the tongs with each new dish brought out. They often have less out during slow times I've noticed (like smaller portions left out) and you can bearly get your arm under the glass. Hey they hit every good mark.

[@atomonical5143]

When there's not cheese sticks or pizza

[@leftmarginnotedpm7062]

Other hints: 1) if no steam coming from around the serving pan or your first bite of food isn't hot, DON'T EAT! Food isn't at proper temperature to be safe to eat. You're risking food poisoning. 2) piling new food on top of old instead of changing out the whole pan. 3) more food spillage around the containers and counters that is old/crusty. Also, bits of food from other containers in wrong containers (most often from people using the same utensil from one container to another).

[@greghunt7724]

i don't eat a buffets. i got sick from one so bad one time i vowed if i lived i would never eat at one again. my boss got sick too along with several co-workers

[@stevejohnson9788]

Also check how clean the restrooms are. If they are filthy and grime is built up on walls, most likely that reflects on how they respect clean with their food.

[@henrymccomments]

Sidney Ross Singer What a name 👍🏾

[@mesube22]

I came for the buffet, but I stayed for the mom in the beginning.

[@xeryakirie9852]

Well.. you know.. you can just go to high class restaurant instead of cheap buffet if you really mind, I personally don't, I go to buffet pretty often never had any disease also because I'm poorxD

[@MrBlackboy21ful]

High class restaurant cheap you out of your money you're basically paying for less

[@THETalesFromTheAbyss]

I'm poor too. Let's get married and be poor together. We can have 8 kids and get a shit ton back in taxs, and go to buffets together. You can make ahegao faces while we bang :3

[@ssjsega002]

Actually there is a rule that says u have to change out serving utensils & tongs. Serving utensils that are in constant use are to b changed out every 2 hours, and if they are not constantly in use it’s every 4 hours. That’s according to the fda. And managers are supposed to take a class on stuff like that, as well as there supposed to b at least one person (manager/crew leader etc) in the building that possesses safeserv in the building at all times.

[@icreatedanaccountforthis1852]

In Japan it’s rare to see those sneeze guards at a buffet. I’ve only seen them at Sizzler I think

This video had very little info and most of the info was common sense.

You should see what goes in the kitchen of any restaurant. Been there. Makes any buffet looks sanitary.

[@lauraholliday9343]

'buffets are a staple of our american cuisine' im sorry, this is an international website why do you keep addressing solely america? buffets are a staple of all cuisines, we love buffets in the uk too and we never became independent from anybody

[@Tom-gv7hc]

Buffets are barely a “thing” anyways. I can’t name a single one even close to where I live, I’ve only EVER eaten a buffet if it was like a special kinda close nitted private thing like my sister graduating basic in the air force or I was in vegas with my dad

[@THETalesFromTheAbyss]

@@Tom-gv7hc how was the food at your sisters air force graduation buffet?

In Nevada they have strict food laws you don’t get food investigators notices and if a restaurant has a sushi bar AND restaurant you need health grades for both

[@sade66119]

Also, in some (well most) states, the sanitation rules are set by the county, some of which, could be following the food code from 40 or 50 years ago

[@bsperoz]

4:25 One of my local Chinese buffets was closed 2 decades ago for health code violations. 2 years ago another Chinese place down the street, the one that took all the business from the other, close after 2 decades of operation because of low attendance due to low quality food (though no health issues...supposedly). The two were about two miles apart. A year ago, smack dab in between where the two Chinese buffet places had been, a JAPANESE Buffet and Hibachi opened up. I'VE NEVER SEEN A BUFFET THIS GOOD (No, not even Olde Country Buffets are as good) so I hope this one stays. It MIGHT because it's only GAINING customers since it opened and I'm not joking when I say the buffet puts the other 2 now closed Chinese places, as well as my closest Olde Country Buffet, TO SHAME. Constantly keeps the food fresh. You drop a set of tongs a kitchen staff member yells out to you "Do nota puts that back in thar!" Picks it up and brings a new one and sneeze guards are only 6 inches. One downsize though? No labels! You can ask the attendant but...Hey most are things you know anyway...MOST.

There's a lit buffet I go to where there is Free Friday 8:30-8:45 where the stuff you order is free while the limit is like 5. It's like $2 All you can eat Chinese Food not lying so good. The icecream is unique cos theres butterscotch, cookies and cream, mango, vanilla, strawberry, greentea, strawberry, glutton free, oreo, twist icecream machine where u can mix any icecream flavour 2 flavours max. The reception is like 7/10 not the best but not the worst. Overall, it's an 11/10 experience
