Boston's Best Buffets

Have you ever looked at a menu and found yourself torn between two items? You start weighing which you'd rather eat, you compare the prices of each meal, and finally, you make your decision.

Fortunately, according to the Wikipedia entry about buffets, "the concept of eating a buffet arose in mid 17th century France..." And now, rather than having to decide on one meal, you can have it all. Here are Boston's best buffets.
