OCEAN CITY BUFFET features restaurant owner Lily
her son Andy & a few worker-relatives inside
the now permanently closed Ocean City Buffet
as they give the filmmakers a preview
of their everyday, morning preparation, plus
brief insights into how Lily & her family first opened
and maintained Ocean City Buffet eighteen years
prior to the shooting of this film.
accompanied by a few friends, shot in 3 days & over
the course of one main dinner, during the same week
of pop-singer Whitney Houston's untimely passing,
Ocean City Buffet sparked the filmmakers'
docufictional query into the buffet
as a quintessentially American food culture
