2. Caesar salad
We could all agree that Caesar salad is a buffet staple, but it is not a safe bet! How so? Caesar salad contains raw eggs. “Raw or undercooked eggs pose a very high risk of salmonella poisoning and foods such as Hollandaise sauce and Caesar salad dressings are often prepared with raw or undercooked eggs,” Busalacchi explains.
As a matter of fact, you should avoid all buffet staples that contain creamy dressings. Keep it simple! Opt for a mix of olive oil and vinegar. “This is a win-win because not only do most of these choices decrease the risk for food poisoning, but they also heart healthier,” she says.

This is one of the most ridiculous questions ever. Independence Day is July 4th. Period. Juneteenth is a black holiday only; it has no business even being in the conversation.
I have never had a problem with Caesar salads at a buffet
I always drink water, at home and when I go out. It is the only thing I drink.
I don’t have dessert at home so if I go to a buffet, I will try about three or four. I think it doesn’t hurt if it is once in a while.
Guess we should put all the buffets out of business by staying home and make all our own food by your standards. You go out to eat as a “treat” to have something you would NOT make or fix at home, or at last have it prepared in a way that is different to what you usually eat. It is a once in a while “treat” to eat out, so you do not have to cook. On those rare times to eat something that is ‘not on the skinny diet’ should be allowed I would think.
This is utter BULLSHIT!!
I generally agree with these cautions, but substituting pork for chicken is a poor choice.

GOOD TO KNOW & SOME OF THESE DISHES I USED TO LOVE.
Wow, I never knew all these different foods are not good at a buffet, and I can say I have done every one of these no,nos. What an eye opener for me! You are right about going to a buffet when you are low on money. I;ve done that several times with friends. I can say I have never been sick eating from a buffet. I always watch when they bring out fresh dishes. Is that still not safe? I will have to pass this on to my friends. I’m a big sushi eater, but going to a sushi resturant is very expensive where I live. But what I do is go to my grocery store that has people making it and I take ones they have just made.
