You no I use to like on Sunday when I could go to a breakfast buffet, they don?t do it no more folks. What a sad day in hell. Buffets breakfast, eggs, beacon and the rest. Oh virus to blame. Folks wait until Christmas when it gets more violent because workers are exhausted and nobody wants those jobs. Oh my remember I warned you, sad but worst is still yet to come. Topic here is no more breakfast buffets, come on all of you like to eat to don?t you, appreciate your farms not many left.

I don’t let strangers prepare my food anymore. Been a long time since I’ve eaten at a fast food joint, let alone a sit down restaurant. I try to eat locally sourced food such as beef and chicken, eggs (I raise) and have a garden and fruit trees. Family of four, but I’m the only one that eats fruits or veggies.

I used to love breakfast buffets. All kinds of goodies too. The better ones had an omelet maker making omelets to order. Yum. You're right though I haven't seen a breakfast buffet for awhile. Always been my favorite meal of the day.

Another reason for living in this state...there are several places still around here for breakfast buffets. There is a favorite biker bar that still offers free breakfast every Sunday here!

Lots of buffets in Orlando area, Golden Corral still has breakfast buffets on weekends too, $8.99, I usually go once a week to the 11-3pm because of the senior discount, 11-3pm buffet is $8.49 and that includes drink. I usually go at 11 am as everything is fresh and very few people there yet.

We also have buffets open here in southwest Georgia. But, I very seldom eat at them anymore. I just don't eat that much at one meal.

Before I retired I traveled at least ten days out of the month and always stayed at hotels with breakfast buffets just because it was a quick meal. Some were sort of good, many were not. If I never ever ate another breakfast buffet that would be just fine with me.

Buffets are not for me for many reasons. I'm not about to drive 22 miles one way for some overpriced overly salty ,greasy ill prepared food . sitting there watching people pick at all kinds of body parts , lick their fingers and handle the serving spoons. then return to refill their dirty plate.

Reads like you need to host a weekly post church services (to allow more available participants) potluck with local products in your front yard! Or somewhere close.
Good social activity time too.

You have me wondering how long it's been since I made breakfast , or even coffee on a camp stove. And I have camp stoves.....

Don't need a buffet for that.

Ours closed too early around here for us to participate very often. Not missing them.
The Chinese (sorry off the breakfast topic) buffet is no longer a buffet.
We have dined in since covid but ordering to go from them in person , we get more food. L.o.l..

Had pancakes and strawberries for a snack the other night.
Easy as breakfast items are we usually make them at home.
But , have had a couple omelets dining out in the past month.

At a restaurant the other day I pointed out the Hobo breakfast.
Then explained why it is called that , and how to roll the single bacon slice and single sausage in pancakes to pocket for the road. Then eat the rest on site....

You may have guessed by now we don't eat heavy anymore.
So if buffets were still going here , the value would be against us anyways.

Still , missing outdoor breakfast cooking and eating. Been too long.

So what is your daily menu consist of, cornbread and chili, bologna crackers. You must watch your intake I understand formaldehyde is an ingredient in much food including baby food so I suggest growing your own food

Daily menu?
Hmmm.
About 363 days a year , breakfast is a slice of toast with peanut butter.
Lunch today was a slice of pizza. From a little store gas station a ways away the other day. Good meats there. Double ground ground chuck I'll nab a half pound or pound of now and then.
Used to be my go to place for bacon. Sliced while I wait at a setting in the upper teens/ thick!
too much fat lately. And I'm confident the supplier can provide better. But I quit asking for better years ago. I don't buy enough for the owner to fight the issue really.
He knows me though. Told me while going into a store miles away at the same time that there was no ground chuck there. L.o.l..

No supper yet.
Been working on a left over beef roast a while. Maybe a hot beef sandwich. Maybe a deluxe salad.
(Eggs for supper often enough. Since this thread is about breakfast buffets...)
Still plenty of venison in the freezer. So buying the roast stung less.
Not like when I raised my own hogs years ago and they came out around 35 cents a pound though....
Or the rabbits. Or chickens. I kinda miss the warm freshest sassy eggs. But have a neighbor who has paid me in his fowls eggs. And know others I can get none bleached and known diet eggs from. So I don't mind missing out on the work. More so in winter.

We grow some stuff. Have carrots I'm letting go to seed from last year , next to this years beans that are just coming on.
But how much lead from leaded fuel days is still in our soil? What else is?
What is in the water we water with? (PFAS has had wells put out of use not far away. Ours tested alright so far. )

Even organic tilth grounds can be interesting. Just because no particular pesticides have been used on them for a decade , does not tell what is in the soil still. Or what falls on it...
