_____Breakfast: not a traditional one but

• stewed pork chops
• rice
• coffee

________Lunch: I went to that new Italian place and had

• two slices of loaf shaped white bread (think 'Wonder Bread") dipped in sauce
• two and a half spiced bread sticke
• dipped in olive oil and
• spaghetti in meatless sauce
• two glasses of Diet Coke

_______Dinner: We went to the new place at the public golf course club house, Mariah Hills Restaurant and had

• nice salad with Thousand Island Dressing
• excellent steak with "Ham's topping" (butter and spices)
• baked potatoe
• small piece of desert
• water

I ate about half of my dinner and ate the left overs for breakfast the next mooring.

I think it is safe to say this is the finest Steak place you can go to in Dodge City Kansas. This is because

• the food is simply excellent
• the service is very good
• the view from the dining room windows is great and
• the owner ("Ham") has "worried feet" and checks the customers to see is the customers are happy and if everything is going well

In "Kitchen Confidental",  Anthony Burdoine wrote of the need for the manager to have "worried feet". That is, for the manager of the restaurant to make sure everything is going well and that only happy customers will walk out. It is a well known fact that angry customers will tell at least ten (10!) other people of their dissatisfaction. I personally try for higher numbers. Happy customers don't tend to tell as many people.

So, as a happy customer, I can safely say go to Mariah Hills for a great steak dinner!
