Week 23 ... A Southern Smorgasbord

If you have ever been to Lancaster, Pa, they have a few eating places called Smorgasbords. They are a gastronomical overload. It requires days to recover from the meal as you are most likely taking in more then 2000 calories in one sitting. While Green Tomato Buffet isn't on the scale of those places, it does offer huge amounts of food. You could really rack up the calories if one needs to do that.


The Green Tomato Buffet offers something for everybody. We started with the Salad bar which had a plethora of fresh crisp vegetables. They also offered macaroni and potato salad along with traditional salad items. There was also a selection of fresh breads and soups as a starter.


The main entrees on offer were baked and fried chicken,fried chicken livers, pot roast, smoked sausage, and turkey with dressing. Along with the main entrees they have every conceivable side one could imagine. They have anything from fried green tomatoes to rutabagas. The three of us tried a little bit of everything. We found that this is the way to approach these massive buffets. Have a little bit of everything.


After you have gorged on the massive dinner buffet, they hit you with a just as big dessert area. It has everything. It includes, cakes, ice cream, pies, fruit, ice cream, etc...

The Green Tomato Buffet is one of those places would be great if you had a large group of growing boys who need calories. The type that could put down 3000 calories and not gain a pound. What I find amazing is that all the food was only $7.99 pp. Not sure the business model but it's impressive.
