Sounds like the lineup for a company trying to make money. I put the premium stuff first and the filler later. I worked hard on that protein so please enjoy lots!

Carbs before protein because you can stack the protein on top of the carbs. The other way around and your chicken cordon bleu is now lost under a plate full of rigatoni

Plus if it's a long buffet, you don't want your protein getting cold(er) by the time you sit down, so makes sense to grab it last. Assuming it's being kept warm on the buffet.

Then every Todd in the group fills their plate with the first thing, the protein for you, and there’s not enough. People will make room for protein, but they’ll overfill their plate with the first couple things.
