Gold coast’s Best Buffets: All-You-can-eat Extravaganzas

The history of buffet style eating is a mixed affair. Its origins could be said to hark back to a mixture of cultures – from Asia to europe. The ‘smorgasbord’ became internationally known as such at the 1939 New York World’s Fair exhibition, because the Swedes had to invent a new way of showcasing the best of Swedish food to large numbers of visitors. And the rest, as they say, is history…

Whoever can claim to have been responsible, we’re not fussed! The point is buffets – and smorgasbords – are amazing ways to reach newfound eating goals, and we’ve got quite a few exceptional ones right here on the Gold Coast. Happy binge eating, folks!
