Bellagio is a particularly popular gathering mode in America. Invited guests bring their own cooked food to share with you, so that everyone can taste as much food as possible and enrich the dining table, which will help reduce the expenses and preparation time of the host family and make the guests feel more involved.
Everyone who comes will bring a dish made by himself. If you don't have time to do it, you will buy some fruits or drinks on the way. The person who proposes a dinner party only needs to provide a place and tableware. Who will prepare what kind of food at ordinary times, tell the planner in advance to avoid repetition.

The origin of potluck party
It is said that this family used to eat a pot of vegetables. If an unexpected guest comes and there is no time to cook another meal, you can only eat this pot of food. Guests' tastes depend on luck. Therefore, potluck is used in English to refer to an ordinary meal without special preparation. Americans call the form of one-person one-dish dinner "potluck Dinner" or "potlock" for short, and Chinese translation is "Bai Le Dinner".
The reason why this kind of dinner is called commonplace is also because everyone's tastes and crafts are different. Whether you can eat delicious food depends on luck.
The rule of Bai Le meal is that each participant brings a dish or other food and drink and puts them together for everyone to eat freely.
The only difference between it and buffet is that the provider has changed from the host to everyone, eating in exactly the same way, which is convenient and economical, and has become the most popular way to treat guests in the United States.
