When Did America’s Heart Turn Cold on Buffet Chains?

There used to be plenty of chain restaurants that offered an all-you-can-eat buffet every day. There were also local eateries that sprung up to get in on the game, too. But many of those chains have folded, and plenty of local smorgasbords have gone back to menus or gone out of business. You can probably think of plenty of reasons, many of them personal. Prices have soared. Eating as a competitive sport has gone out of style. And some have suffered from that Yogi Berra thing: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

Yet there are other reasons that buffets have suffered and in many cases, died. Read about them at Vox, and you might swear off all-you-can-eat buffets forever.
