Sunrise Buffet

Some of our guest critics mid-meal.
The orange soda got rave reviews.


Jenne's first round...


Some other people's...


The egg drop soup was popular.

The orange chicken was extremely weird.

Broccoli and...jello?


Dessert was far and away the best part, especially the doughnuts!

Kate said she got a little overexcited with the sprinkles.

Thumbs up on the jello, thumbs down on the chocolate pudding.

Really, Miko?  That is disgusting.

The whole gang!
