Plan your Christmas feast ahead of time, whether it’s an elegant sit-down meal or an all-you-can-eat buffet. This guide will help you navigate the dizzying options available.
Buffets are much loved, and everyone approaches them differently. As a dining experience, they are immensely liberating – no difficult à la carte decisions to make, and no one judges you because they are too busy doing the same. It’s the holidays, grab everyone and let’s do this. Dress code: nothing too tight. A waistline with elastic is preferred.
