The Cordays and Bell combined the "hospital soap" idea with the tradition of centering a series on a family, by making the show about a family of doctors, including one who worked in a mental hospital.[22] Storylines in the show follow the lives of middle- and upper-class professionals in Salem, a middle-America town, with the usual threads of love, marriage, divorce, and family life, plus the medical story lines and character studies of individuals with psychological problems.[23] Former executive producer Al Rabin took pride in the characters' passion, saying that the characters were not shy about "sharing what's in their gut."[24]
Buffets are all-you-can-eat restaurants with a wide selection of foods, but fast food is extremely rapid, and you typically walk in, place your order, pay, and then receive your food, which you can either eat there or take away. A drive-thru window is generally available at fast food restaurants. Fast-casual is a combination of fast food and informal eating. Fine dining has a more gourmet and refined vibe to it, with finer clothes and look expected. Food trucks or pop-up diners are examples of quick service dining. So it all depends on what you're looking for.
