The Do’s and Don’ts of the buffet line

​When we noticed the Lunch Blog checking out King Buffet in Lawrence, Kansas, it only felt right to offer up a series of Do’s and Don’ts for the buffet-goer. Because the wrong decisions can leave an amateur with a hurting stomach and a feeling that you have failed to eat $6.99 worth of food. These suggestions will guide you safely through the warming trays and sneezeguards.

Do walk though the buffet once before you load up your plate. Otherwise, you will spend all your available plate space on beef and broccoli, when there were piles of cocktail shrimp for the taking.

Do not fill up on pasta, rice or whatever carbohydrate is in one of the first two warming trays. This is the sucker play — the equivalent of filling up on bread at a steakhouse.
