all you can eat

From J.S. Borthwick's Dude on Arrival, p. 73:

Julia Douglas and Sarah staked out their table and then joined the buffet line. Sarah was staggered. A hundred salads, forty breads, and little hot dishes for dipping into or pouring onto pasta, toast points, shells, croissants. She sighed happily.

"Someone else's food is heaven—I really don't like to cook, though I keep buying cookbooks. In case I can catch the interest—like the plague."
