Rise of the all-you-can-eat restaurant
Pay at the door. Then, "grab a plate, help yourself, help yourself again"
"In just 12 months the all-you-can-eat restaurant chain Taybarns has taken the catering industry by storm - and there are plans to open 30 new branches. But does it encourage unhealthy eating?...
The all-you-can-eat concept originated in the US's working areas in the 1930s. Golden Corral has capitalised on that trend, focusing on small-town America, it now has more than 450 restaurants across 41 states. But with warnings that the UK is following the US with rising levels of obesity, isn't this sort of dining experience a cause for concern?"
