sometimes our eyes are bigger than our stomachs.
The reason I enjoy a good buffet at times, although I Love ordering from a menu, is I like to fix my own salad etc and sometimes certain things aren't as good when the chef makes it, like the cheese piled high on a salad etc.

at least for me. I like it like that. Plus, in florida my son likes the all you can eat crab legs. I like ordering from the menu too tho.
