What is National Buffet Day?
National Buffet Day, January 2nd, honors a popular dining destination for Americans. Every family of the family will be able to find what they want to eat at the buffet restaurant, making it possible for every member of the family to find what they want to eat.
In a central location, a buffet system offers several food choices. Patrons can quickly identify and choose the dish to serve themselves. Buffetts are ideal for feeding large groups of people at one time. Consequently, hotels, restaurants, and conventions continue to serve buffets as a convenient way of offering catering to their guests and staging events. However, buffet lines also work well in a home environment.
The buffet table was first served from the Brannvinsbord – Swedish schnapps (shot of alcoholic beverage) table during the 16th century's middle. The custom peaked in the early 18th century and then evolved into the more modern buffet at the start of the 19th century. The smorgasbord buffet has grown in popularity as a result of Europe's railway expansion..
The Swedes on 1939, at the New York World's Fair Exhibition, displayed a smorgasbord. To a large number of people attending the festival, it showcased the best of Swedish cuisine to a large number of visitors. The word buffet became increasingly popular in the English-speaking world during the second half of the twentieth century, after the Swedes had popularized the smorgasbord in New York.
