I understand all that. When I go out to eat, I want to sit down and
stay there until it's time to leave. Having said that I do go once a
year, to this excellent buffet in a nearby fancy schmancy hotel with
views of the river. It's very nice and the food is top notch. But.
I think it's $40 a person. That's a lot of bacon. Heh.
