Deep dives

The Perils of Buffet Roast Beef

Buffet roast beef can be an intimidating experience as the carver asks you what you want and you feel pressured to give an answer. It's something your uncle should do, not a task you want to participate in. The whole interaction can be awkward and lead to anxiety about saying the wrong thing. It's a grown-up food that can make you feel like a kid again.
