You can find decent hotel buffets in the US, too. Depends on the
hotel. There is a Sheraton near me that has a weekend buffet that
cannot be beat. I've had great bfast buffets at hotels in New Orleans,
SF, NYC, Vegas and other cities, too. There is no rhyme nor reason why
some are good and some suck. The ultimate crapshoot.

Often the weekday offerings are much less interesting than the weekend
ones, but any place that has a person making omelets or fried eggs can
generally provide enough decency to get the day going. My major
criticism of these buffets is that the breads are usually lousy, but I
am a bread baker and picky.
