Dining Terminology

[Castillo Mom]

Do any of you out there know the difference between " all you can eat" and " all you care to eat?" Confusing.

I believe the "all you care to eat" is the more polite reference. I guess "all you can eat" suggests totally pigging out! They both mean the same thing however - one price for dinner and refills on the food if you'd like.

LOL - Good question

"All you can eat" sounds like a dare... makes guests want to prove it!

"All you care to eat" Much more polite and no incentive to break any records.

Sounds like they are the same but who knows? I am going with all you care to eat is more polite.

 

[Castillo Mom]

Ohhh! That makes sense.

Think both terms refer to buffets, Don't they?

 

[MikeWazowski]

What restaurant uses the term "all you care to eat." I've never heard that one before. It sounds like a phrase my mother would say.

They don't necessarily refer to buffets, although most Disney "all you can (or care to) eat" places are buffets. There are a few all you can eat meals served family style - Whispering Canyon has one, the character breakfast at Ohanas. And Cindy's is plated, but I think its still "All you can eat"
