OK folks - we have choices for dinner.
First off, do you want a three course or four course meal? The difference you ask....
A three course would be a choice of one appetizer, main entree and desert.
A four course would be a choice of one appetizer, soup or salad, main entree and desert. You could do a combo here and have soup, salad, main and desert or appetizer, soup or salad, main and desert....
We have to decide THAT first.
For the main course we can choose three options so those wanting beef aren't stuck with chicken or vice versa.
