We dive into the history of the all-you-can-eat (AYCE) buffets, from the well-designed Swedish smorgasbord to the ubiquitous and extravagant Las Vegas spreads. We also talk about how AYCE buffets are strategically designed to fill up the customer's belly quickly and cheaply. Plus, we discuss our favorite ThermoWorks Hotpad and Sugar Pumpkins.
