Let me say, as a Montanan who is a fat guy AND a foodie, I try to follow the "no buffet" rule. What is the "no buffet" rule? Well, it's not a rule per se, but more of a suggestion that I live by. Those over a certain amount of poundage have no business going to a buffet.

I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life, but for me, I've seen way too many stand-up comics make fun of fat folks at the buffet, so I avoid them at all costs.

Having said that, several folks across Montana in all shapes and sizes love a good buffet. I mean, what's not to love? All you can eat at one price! Plus, it allows you to sample a bit of this and that.
