How-To: Eat All You Can Eat

If you choose the right place, a buffet can be your best friend. Here's a few things you may want to add to the list ("How to become a buffet master by taming the all-you-can-eat juggernaut"): http://www.thegluttonist.com/welcome/2007/05/how_to_become_a_1.html

Would-be 'Top Chefs' Are Broke Chefs

Are you kidding? Cooks are the poorest people in New York. That $10 an hour is gross, not net .... so do the math on that. Factor in ridiculous rents, loan payoffs, general living expesnes, transportation costs, a beer here and there, and bacially you are left with little. I've worked it kitchens and loved it, but I was always hurting. BTW, the NYT article should note that the CCI is probably one of the most expensive cooking schools in the world, and that the example student loan of $84,000 may not represent the average culinary student debt.
