Results: Pandemic-Styled Buffet Restaurant Dining
Published on 07/11/2020
As restaurants open up after my state's governor's lock-down and shelter-in-place measures to fight the current coronavirus outbreak have elapsed, I've noticed all (?)-you-can-eat eateries are taking varying approaches to their stuff-yourself mission. Which would you pastronize?

Option #1 (arguably least intrusive): At the nesrest locatiobn to me of a steak restaurant chain, for its recently-reopened Sunday breakgfast buffet, diners are required to wear plastic glove(s) each time they go through the food assortment; hand santizer is also available. Custiomers are allowed to put what they want on their plates. How do you like this apptroach?
I liker that way of going about buffet dining and would consdi8er patronizing someplace taking that approach.

Option #2: The franchise of a pizza & chicken chain in my tow allows customers to eat much as they like from its buffet, but it all has to be put on their plates by the staffers. And for the time being, its vanilla soft serve ice milk dispnser has been replaced by individual cups of the frizen treat. On the plus sidem, the place still offers a pizza made to your specifications as part of the buffet price. How does this way of going about a buffet strike you? I like that way of going about buiffet dining and would patronize a place I already enjoy going about it that way.

I'm unsure whether I like that way of going about it and am undecided as to whether I'd patronize an eatery administering like that.

Option #3 (most intrusive?)": The monthly German evebning buffet at a supper club I am wanting to patronize this weekend is reconfigured in such a way to make it, arguably, nt a buffet for now. At a reduction from the usual buffet prce, servers will provide each diner wtih six generous portions (or so II've ben told) of dishes from its lengthy line of Teutonic cuisine. There will also be a roaming accordionist serenading diners with polkas and waltzes (he's fun!). Would you try this buffet-of-sorts? Sign me up; it may not exactly be a buffet, but it seems good to me.
