All-you-can-eat buffets can be an inexpensive way to stuff your face with delicious food. However, depending on the establishment, food safety can be an issue. Of course, there are different types of buffets, ranging from the inexpensive to the very fancy and expensive.
Unfortunately, they can all be gross. Not to mention all of the people that might cough, sneeze, or touch the food before you. Even if that doesn’t gross you out, there is one item you should never eat at a buffet.
Just don’t eat the crab at a buffet
Skip the crab legs! On Reddit, someone asked questions to the owner of a buffet restaurant. One question was, “What is one item you would advise people to stay away from at an all-you-can-eat buffet?” The owner said it was the crab legs because many buffets buy cheap and they are not fresh! They also said that many restaurants don’t steam them properly to save money and time.
