Thanks so much for the valued input, I will let this thread run it's course until Friday PM, then print it off and bring it with us.
The note about staying away from buffets unless 300# when looking for a bulk food value makes sense, especially when I think back to pretty much any buffet I've been to in my life, generally the spread looks great until it hits the plate and later the palet, many a time I've left stuffed and yet strangely unsatisfied. Plus, I'm working my way down to the low 200# range currently and need to avoid heading north to 300, since it's cheaper to go faster by weight loss rather than building more power hehe. I do like the idea of a 10 dollar sit down meal rather than dueling with a 400# fat man for mashed potatos at a 20 dollar buffet.
