 How much can you eat, and how much are you willing to spend to find out -- especially on a Sunday, after you've pushed your blood-alcohol level past the legal limit the night before? There's no better place to find out than at the Blue Moon's legendary Sunday brunch buffet. For $29.95, you get an Intracoastal panorama, an art deco interior and a Bloody Mary, mimosa or glass of champagne to get yourself on familiar footing. Then, it's on to a banquet big enough to feed the crew of a Navy aircraft carrier. The feed line runneth over with crab cakes, seafood gumbo, blackened mahi-mahi, chicken breast wrapped in bacon, garlic-steamed mussels, peel-and-eat shrimp, omelets, shucked oysters and clams, and a dessert tray that could sink the aforementioned watercraft.
