Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

One dark plate holds a tangle of snow crab legs, several raw oysters, peeled shrimp, cocktail sauce and a lemon wedge.

I’m a sucka for seafood, Roger wrote, and an all-you-can-eat line is where that confession gets tested. The plate shows he went straight for the premium stations.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Snow crab legs
  • Raw oysters
  • A seafood-first buffet plate

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A buffet strategy in one photo: skip the fillers, go for the crab.
