TW: I ran across the quote below in Anthony Bourdain's "A Cook's Tour" (he is the guy that travels the world for Food Network visiting cool places and eating good food, not a bad gig). I thought I would share.
From Bourdain:
"...Now, I famously hate salad bars. I don't like buffets (unless I' standing on the serving side , buffets are like free money for cost-conscious chefs). When I see food sitting out, exposed to the elements, I see food dying. I see a big open petri dish where every passing serial sneezer can feel free to cough, drool, and fondle with spittle-flecked fingers. I see food not held at ideal temperature, food rotated (or not) by person or persons unknown, left to fester in the open air unprotected from the passing fancies of the general public. Those New York delis with the giant salad bars where all the health-conscious office workers go for their light, sensible lunches? You're eating more bacteria than the guy standing outside eating mystery meat on a stick..."
