Buffet Baddies: Dishes You Shouldn’t Touch with a Ten-Foot Fork!
Bin There, Dodged That
Food prepared in large bins at buffets might seem like a jackpot—endless quantities of your favorite dishes waiting to be devoured. But the bigger the bin, the bigger the risk. These vast vessels often mean the food has been sitting out, potentially for hours, making it a playground for bacteria.
While regulations usually dictate that food should be switched out every few hours, the reality can be a game of chance. Is it fresh from the kitchen, or has it been making friends with ambient air since opening? When you see a dish lounging in a bin big enough to bask in, swim past to safer, fresher waters.
