Anyway, the smörgåsbord (same, same) became internationally known as ‘smorgasbord’ at the 1939 New York World’s Fair exhibition because the Swedes had to invent a new way of showcasing the best of Swedish food to large numbers of visitors. How fun.

The point is buffets (and smorgasbords) are amazing and we’ve got quite a few exceptional ones right here on the Gold Coast. Here they are from north to south. Happy binge eating.
