  • Thursday, March 12,1970 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 3 A COUPLE ENJOYS an evening at the Steak 'n Salad Room. 'Steak 'n Salad' fulfills area need A facility which fulfills one of the many off-campus needs of a university such as Western is the Steak 'n Salad Room of Court Hill Inn, In an atmosphere of attractive decor and pleasant surroundings this dining room provides food and services which one is accustomed to find only in the best similar establishments in a city. The business is owned and operated by Colonel and Mrs. Theodore Fuller, Drawing on their dining experiences over many years in large cities of the United States and Europe, the Fullers have created in Sylva a dining facility seldom found in a small community, "It is one thing," said the colonel, "to know what service to expect when seated at a table but quite another when one finds himself responsible for getting it there." Many diners have reported that the Fullers have met with no small success in providng excellent service. Decorations in the Steak 'n Salad Room are not to be overlooked, Most of them were collected by the Fullers from Europe and the Middle East Paintings in the lounges are original oils or watercolors. The wooden ornaments in the dining room wall are hand carved; the maps in the alcove are original or excellent copies of originals; marble tables in one lounge are of the most beautiful Italian marble. Aside from inanimate decorations, the employees lend atmosphere to the place. The men who cut and grill the excellent steaks are in immaculate chefs' uniforms; the waitresses are dressed in black and white, mini-skirted uniforms. The latter uniforms contain pretty little high school girls who for the most part fellows, are engaged to husky athletes. A hardwood dance floor at one end of the Steak 'n Salad Room is a feature seldom found in similar dining rooms. Although the menu of the Steak 'n Salad is limited to salad, steaks and the supplements necessary for a good meal, the dining room far surpasses the "steak house" conception. The method of service In the Steak 'n Salad Roam is unique. One prepares his own salad from a selection of 28 delicious ingredients and once at his table, he is shown two choices of meat from which his steak will be cut to the desiredthick- ness and grilling. The steak is weighed and the weight at 50(5 an ounce determines the price of the meal. A word of caution to prospective patrons: Steaks shown are usually of different sizes in cross section. Slightly more than a half inch thickness on a small rib eye may run 4 or 5 dollars for a meal while the same thickness on a very large rib eye might jump to $6,50, So unless your pocketbook is prepared to match inordinate pangs of hunger, be careful when you say, "Cut a little more than an inch from that one," for you may be ordering a $9.00 meal. An inspection of menu prices at other places, however, shows that one receives for the same money far more as well as better, food at the Steak *n Salad Room, One-acf plays fo be presented Two Harold Pinter one-act plays will be presented by the Western Carolina University Department of Speech and Theater Arts at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, March 14-15, in the University Little Theater.
