The concept of a culinary buffet dinner catering comes to life as a group of people gather in a restaurant, enjoying an all-you-can-eat spread of meat, vegetables, and other delectable food options.
Let’s be real — buffets are a bit of a germ-fest. From everyone pawing at the serving spoons to food sitting under those heat lamps for who knows how long, it’s not exactly the place for fresh, gourmet dining. But hey, that’s part of the charm, right?
