Duff's Famous Smorgasbord
1969–1996
“All-you-can-eat and the birthday cake.”
Restaurants
The all-you-can-eat smorgasbord where a birthday meant free cake and the whole family loaded up trays down a mile-long buffet line under the sneeze guard. The endless-buffet format got squeezed by newer chains, and Duff's faded through the 1990s.
