'All You Can Eat' Commissioned By Channel 4

News Image
Channel 4 has commissioned a one-off special which will explore the phenomenon 'all you can eat' buffet.

All You Can Eat is made by Boomerang and will feature three buffet establishments in the UK. The 1 x 60' episode will follow the restaurant owners as they attempt to make a profit – and the diners try to eat their money's worth of food.

It is thought the 'all you can eat' craze began in Las Vegas, but many restaurants in Britain now provide various deals to tempt hungry customers. But the question is, who wins? Is it the restaurateurs who look to maximise profits, or the eaters who employ a variety of tactics to beat the house when it comes to value for money.

The special will also reveal the amount of produce that is needed to keep the restaurants running, as well as beleaguered chefs, worried managers and cunning consumers.

All You Can Eat was commissioned by Channel 4 Head of Features, Gill Wilson and will be produced by Boomerang with executive producer Sam Grace and producer Donna McLaughlin.

Sam Grace said: "We're thrilled to take a closer look at the extraordinary characters on both sides of the All You Can Eat buffet, from those looking to squeeze out every penny's worth to the restaurants catering on mass for the growing appetites of punters."
