HOUSTON While we try to limit the spread of the coronavirus, health officials are advising restaurants and customers against dining and eating from self-serve buffets and salad bars. Still, KPRC 2 found Kroger stores opening self-serve salad bars where you can scoop up your own greens with all the fixings. Salad bars and self-serve buffets in grocery stores have followed suit, some repurposing the salad bar areas entirely.
