Answer 3

A Buffet is a way of serving or presenting food to one's guests or the general public i.e. We held a buffet for our son's graduation (or) Let's go to dinner at the hotel they are serving a buffet tonight. It is a variety of foods presented all at once for you to choose from, usually as much as you want.

A Gourmet on the other hand describes the type of presentation or describes a type of chef. He is a Gourmet Chef (or) We had a Gourmet Dinner tonight. It mean's very good or very special or very selective.
