Because buffets are inherently kind of skeezy no matter how "fancy" the food. Who the hell wants to slop up food from a trough? Who the fuck wants to touch utensils that 100 other random customers have touched, and then go sit down and eat? Who the fuck wants to eat food from a trough that 100 people have walked by while sniffling and coughing and talking? Fuck that. The only people who think that's appealing are subhumans.

In the 80's and early '90's there were some large casinos that had really good buffets, because the plebe gamblers would gamble at the best comped food location since they'd lose the same amount wherever they went. It was successful for awhile, but then they the casinos woke up and realized these fuckers will gamble no matter what you slop in their trough.

Other than that, there's never been decent buffet food in 'murrica. Don't forget, you're very likely to have some special snowflake dip his/her/other hands into the food bin or even more likely, an alzheimers patient slobbering into it.

How can food be high end if it sits out on a counter for a while?

There is a nice high quality sushi buffet 10 minutes from me. Pretty sure there are more too. They are around nicer areas where white people with money work.

too expensive and not enough people would visit them

just go to vegas if you want to experience the best buffets our country has

>high-end
>buffet

what the fuck did he mean by this?

>high quality
>sushi
>buffet
lol

because pretty much every buffet chain is owned by the same parent company, and they cater to people that want a lot of food for cheap. Americans tend to associate buffet restaurants with poor people who have too many kids.

sometimes nice restaurants will have a salad bar. theres a good steakhouse in albany, ny with a dank salad bar.

sometimes buffets are offered as a choice at high end hotel restaurants.

what the fuck are you guys talking about

theres plenty of nice high quality buffets around theyre like 20$+ per person

theyre not "chains" though and they shouldnt be i dont know why you would want that

>at buffet
>mexican family walking around
>daughter face level with the food
>shes walking around coughing all over everything
>the parents aren't even paying attention to her while she hacks up and contaminates the entire line

I can't fucking wait until that wall goes up

The only non "people of walmart" buffets I know of are part of casino-hotels. Dinner is $30 at the Tropicana, for example. It's a step up, but I wouldn't call it high-end.

Veeky Forums thinks Chipotle and Five Guys are high end and Cheesecake Factory is a once-in-a-lifetime special occasion meal

Some five-star hotels like Four Seasons have actually high-end buffets that cost $150+/person.

They're $150 a person because they know lazy ass business travelers will just eat there instead of going out for le authentic michelin bib gourmand, not because they provide a dining experiene on par with a normal restaurant that charges $150

Well, why don't more places go the Olive Garden Endless Soup/Salad/Breadsticks route?
Have a high entrance fee ($20-40/person + drinks) and then once you sit down at the table they bring you as much food as you desire off the menu, maybe with a smaller concurrent table-plate limit so you don't simultaneously order 30 bowls of lobster bisque before you decide you're full.

they got them but you have to go to a casino where i live, $28 week days $45 friday night all you can eat snow crab

I saw people with soup bowls full of melted butter, grossest thing i've ever seen. So many diabeetus scooter victims I wonder if they take ebt

Not everyone is a morbidly obese who requires 4,000 calorie meal.

Why not just boil three boxes of pasta at home for 3x longer than it says on the box, and drown them in canola oil and fake wisconsin parmesan and inhale them with a jug of carlo rossi? It's the same shit and you don't have to deal with black people or screaming kids.
