John Walker Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 I am considering going to the banquet this year, but have some questions on the Italian Buffet. First what is featured with the buffet (the photo showing the entrees is out of focus)? And second, how is the buffet to be served, at the table, or self serve? Thanks, John walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Walker Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Michael, If you go to the Nats site and open the banquet box it states that this year's banquet is an Italian Buffet, and there is a photo of Italian dishes that are labeled, but most are out of focus, hence my question. There is no further explanation of what the buffet consists of, and for $53 I'd like to know. Further, the word buffet usually (at least here in MA) implies that you get up, get in line and serve yourself. However, over the years I have been involved with similar events with this gang and I'm not sure I want any part of that (the BBQ at the VA Air & Space Museum many years ago comes to mind). Can someone associated with the banquet please enlighten me as to what to expect? Thanks, John Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkinman44 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 It just says Italian Buffet. It would be nice to have an idea of some of the items on the menu. I am a Food Service Manager and 53 bucks is ALOT for Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveCollins Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I will get specific information from the hotel and post it here as soon as possible. To my knowledge, it will be identical to the 2010 banquet, where you get in line and serve yourself. It worked very well then and I'm pretty sure nobody went away hungry.

SteveCollins Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Guys, Here's the menu for the buffet at the banquet. And yes, it's is served buffet style. However, I wouldn't be concerned about running out of anything. And I can tell you from personal experience, these people make good Italian food.

MRechlicz Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Is this the only option? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveCollins Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 As opposed to perhaps a vegetarian meal? Otherwise, yes, it's a buffet meal. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
