The Saskatchewan Roughrider Pep Band will be in Toronto during Grey Cup (roughly Nov 22 - 26 for the full band; some of us will be arriving on the 20th). There will be about 40 of us and we are looking for places where we can eat somewhat healthily and fairly inexpensively. We need something that will cater to fairly standard tastes, so we won't be going to any buffets that don't have a reasonable selection for everyone. If you have any suggestions, please send them to me.
To give you an idea of what we're considering, one is Dangerous Dan's (hamburger/diner type place that receives rave reviews) if they can accommodate us. Another is the Spaghetti Factory (murder for my super-low-carb diet, but I'm sure I can adapt). We are staying downtown, but we will have a coach at our disposal, so travel for 30-45 minutes is not out of the question.
Any and all suggestions in these prices ranges are welcome. Thanks.
Yes, I'm a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders Pep band:

He's worried about the Spaghetti Factory? This from Now Magazine about Dangerous Dan's:
"Best Bet for Cardiac Arrest
The Coronary Burger Special at Dangerous Dan's
Famous for its massive 24-ounce hamburgers, this spoon with attitude will grill you up two 8-ounce beef patties, layer them with a heart-attack-inducing four slices of bacon and two of cheddar and plop a fried egg on top. Sided with fries 'n' gravy (pay extra and go for poutine instead), this artery-hardener comes with optional mayonnaise."

The Coronary Burger Special sounds perfect for those on the Atkins diet....but only if it is eaten without the bun.

It certainly might help with the anaemia:
