We've all got a soft spot for Smorgy's in our hearts (those of us whose hearts didn't explode after eating 21 consecutive plates of pizza, cinnamon doughnuts and chicken chow mein), but buffets have come a long way since the days of the lukewarm bain-marie. Now, they're actually good.

Five tips for getting bang for your buck
Tomas Telegramma | theage.com.au
Get the lay of the land
It can be tempting to pile your plate straight away, but do a thorough walkthrough. You might find sashimi tucked away or a sought-after meat needing to be replenished.
Feast on your favourites first
The more you eat, the less enjoyable each plate becomes. So, load up on what you love to begin with, rather than working up to it. Who says dinner can't start with steak?
Go hard on seafood and (premium) meat
Actually eating your money's worth means blowing out on what sets you back a lot to buy elsewhere a la carte. Load up on as many oysters and as much wagyu as you can.
Go easy on all-things carby
These are only words to live by at a buffet because carbs will fill you up prematurely. Go for sashimi over nigiri, or nigiri over maki rolls. Skip the pasta and noodles et al.
Consider a lunchtime visit
In most cases, it's less expensive to hit a buffet at lunch as opposed to dinner. And it's also likely to be a little less busy, so there's a higher chance of you feasting in peace.
