I generally go through the lines with my boyfriend because he knows what I can, can't, will and won't eat so it's fairly quick.

Most people I know use a sighted guide just to make it quick, but I'm sure there's some NFB type of people who insist that blind people should be able to do it themselves.

I have someone go through the line with me and pile the food on my plate. Usually they will say the food they are looking at and I will say yes or no.

I'm a vegetarian and there's usually only one or two suitable dishes. I have some remaining sight but I can't really tell prepared foods apart, I just ask for help finding the vegerarian-friendly foods. I hate mushrroms on my pizza purely because they kind of look meaty to me.

My sighted girlfriend sits me down and I order drinks while she runs around the buffet, scoping it out. She puts together a plate for me of random things she knows I like and that I'd probably like to try, then goes after everything she wants for her own plate. That's usually what we do when super hungry, otherwise I'll tag along with her in sighted guide while she calls out the various cuisines and foods available. It's much safer to have her carry the plate, especially in a bustling Vegas buffet setup. Just must faster, safer, and more efficient when she goes about it herself for me, and she enjoys giving me fun food surprises or tells me to try something she found without telling me what it is.

I’ve only gone to them with my family, so Mom tells me cwhat food I’m in front of. If I decide I want some, she guides my hand so I don’t burn myself. I know I can’t do that forever but it’s convenient for the time being.

I Have a rule, if i cant identify it I dont eat it. so often times I'll take my wife or a friend that understands my eyesight to help me. this rule is a good one to live by

My partner usually tells me what's where for the utensils. I often just kind of look at the food and then read, but it can sometimes take me too long. I have partial sight though!
