I Agree, but I think you could do it in 1/2 day... All you need is 2
tables. Ala.

Table name: menu_cat
Fields: id INT, description VARCHAR(64)

Table name: menu_items
Fields: id INT, cat_id INT, item_text VARCHAR(128), price VARCHAR(20),
veggy INT

...

If I carry on any longer, I'd have written it.... ;)

Chaz.
