History of KFC buffet and what is expected
The restaurant buffet has roots in the 16th century Sweden, with Brännvinsbord, a pre-eating of a variety of food and spirit, or beer. Although the American buffet certainly looks different from the addition of desserts, it still has a variety of meat and vegetables. KFC launched its buffet in the early 1980s to maintain a competitive advantage over other fast food chains. So, if you grew up in the 1980s or ’90s, it might be a nostalgic memory as many families take advantage of all-you-can-do-like features. As people practice more health-conscious diets, however, interest in the KFC buffet-and many more-is reduced.
Fortunately, those who remember and like the KFC buffet can still expect the same various dishes.

However, you may be looking for items that are not on the regular menu-such as Collard Vegetables, Okra fried, and rice for side dishes, as well as jell-o, pudding, and cooks for dessert. Now, if only a restaurant will bring back some of the KFC items that we miss the most, such as potato wedge, we will be in a very good state.
