Fact #1: The concept of eating a buffet arose in mid 17th century France, when gentleman callers would arive at the homes of ladies they wanted to woo unexpectedly. Their surprise arrival would throw the kitchen staff in to a panic and the only food that could be served was a selection of what was found in the cold room. The chosen food always centred around a selection of sandwiches, preferably with the bread starting to curl at the edges. Potential accompanyments also include watery chicken, Pret A Manger carrot cake and fingered buscuits. All food is presented on trays and the suitors were asked to select what they wanted and then eat it off small plates balanced atop their knees.
Fact #2: If you take us to a buffet for a "working lunch meeting," our level of productivity decreases by 80 percent immediately thereafter. Red Rock Casino Buffet at noon? That's a wrap!

Just make sure to wear sweat pants (or "Buffet Pants") on Buffet Lunch Day!
You make me hungry! Let's meet at a buffet sometime, but not Old Country Buffet.
Why the heck would the ladies' households do the work if the men were there to woo the women? It was all wrong back then...the men only came because they knew they would get some great grub.."wooing" was a small, small price to pay. What the ladies really should've done is offer them nothing more than water with lemon...and see which ones were left standing. HELLLOOOOO.
