Needless to say, seafood occupies a delightful amount of real estate at Shaw's sprawling weekend buffet. Crustacean obsessives will think they've died and gone to underwater heaven when they're presented with shucked-to-order oysters, lobster bisque, pastrami smoked salmon, shrimp cocktail and ceviche, Maryland-style crab cakes and steamed king crab legs.

Known for its Audubon-rated grounds and its commitment to sustainability, the bucolic Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort and Spa carries its mission all the way through Sunday brunch. Each week's all-you-can-eat menu is inspired by a different theme and created in partnership with local purveyors. You'll also find ingredients sourced from their own on-site microfarm, such as fruits and vegetables, chicken and quail eggs, and honey. There's even a special kids' station, complete with crafts, coloring books and fun edibles, that will inspire little ones to eat their veggies and think about where their food comes from!

Will your stomach cry uncle first? Or will you succumb to writer's cramp after checking off boxes for hours, at New Jersey's string of Sushi Palaces?

And astoundingly, the $21.95 price doesn't apply just to sushi — endless amounts of soup, salad, starters, teriyaki, tempura, noodles and even dessert can be had with a mere flick of the wrist.

You won't know what to ogle first at The Signature Room, situated 95 stories above Chicago in the iconic building formerly known as The John Hancock Center. There are the 360-degree views of the cityscape and Lake Michigan, and then there's the opulent weekend brunch buffet, including chilled seafood, made-to-order omelets, Nutella French toast, and steak and eggs.
