Rotating Smorgasboard
Does anyone else remember a restaurant that had a rotating buffet? I vaguely recall – going on a school trip back in the late 1980’s to a place that had a rotating buffet – the food went around and then back into the kitchen for the cooks to refill the bins… so, for example, if you wanted mashed potatoes you had to wait for them to come around again….. I’m pretty sure the one I went to was called Duff’s. Am I crazy, or does anyone else remember this?

How funny! A bit before my time, but it does remind me of conveyor belt sushi or dim sum, where you grab whichever plate passing by that looks good 🙂
