"Probably the area's best buffet brunch, which comes with an omelet station, is the Sunday spread at Seasons in the Four Seasons hotel in Georgetown..

The tab is steep, however: $85, including bottomless mimosas (but still!)"

then later....
"Have you ever asked an establishment, in this case, the Four Seasons, what can possibly justify $85 for a buffet? At retail, eggs cost about a quarter apiece, bacon $8 a pound, bread and fruit, etc. are within reach of a household budget. "Bottomless mimosas" -- OJ and cheap champagne -- none of that adds up to $40 a person, let alone twice that. And what if a diner doesn't want alcohol with breakfast?"

"Well, diners are paying for Four Seasons-style service, dining room and (unlimited) premium ingredients including shrimp, oysters and crab. Not that I think $80 is inexpensive, mind you, just to point out what's involved. "
