  • September 1,1999 FEATURES CaSloTirnniaN 7 Price and Food at Maxine's Insult Food Critic by Todd Higginson Staff Writer Welcome to Highway Robbery 101. I am your humble teacher, and Maxine's American Grill and Bar in Waynesville is our subject for the day. It is exciting to bound over the county line now and again, but Maxine's was a great disappointment. Pay attention, or you may make a bad restaurant decision one day. Maxine's has a couple of good qualities. The atmosphere is nice. Oldies play in the background, and everything is coordinated in hunter green and maroon. Memorabilia and trinkets align the walls, giving the restaurant an eclectic ambience. The cleanliness factor was satisfying. The floor was spotless, and my table was quite sanitary. The menu states: "Let the good times roll!" I was ready for that promised amusement, but I promptly realized that this was going to be an expensive good time. Appetizers alone ranged from $5.99 to $7.99. Dinners went from $10.99 to $18.99.1 ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu ($13.99). I also selected Spinach Dip 'N' Chips as an appetizer ($5.99). My waiter, Ryan, was very friendly and possessed a great sense of humor. He swiftly brought out my appetizer and beverage. The "hot" dip was literally cold, so I sent it back. Never be afraid of sending something back to the kitchen. You are paying for this! Ryan obliged and shortly brought out a steamy-hot version of the first one. Consequently, the cheese was melted the second time around, but it lacked something. Perhaps it was the bagged tortilla chips that accompanied it — I suggest toasted pita wedges. Maybe it was the frozen spinach. My salad arrived shortly after the appetizer. The romaine lettuce was green and fresh, and the accompanying veggies looked satisfactory. Everything looked great until I actually took a bite. The Caesar dressing was quite acidic. Not a vinegary sort of acidic- more like hydrochloric acid. The flesh of my cheeks felt as if it were dissolving. By this time, I was dreading the entree. It arrived in a timely manner, and looked deceptively appealing, thanks to the garnish. My friend's Shrimp Pasta Alfredo ($13.99) had a carved lemon half sitting in the middle of her plate. That is artistic, but they failed to remove the sticker from the butchered citrus family member. Grated red cabbage made my dish colorful, but I was still skeptical. The chicken was fair. Maxine's Chicken Cordon Bleu is stuffed with ham, Provolone cheese, and asparagus tips in champagne sauce. I could not detect a distinctive champagne flavor, and found it salty. Alongside was a puny baked potato and steamed mixed vegetables. I will leave the baked potato alone and bash the vegetables. They were a frozen blend - the kind with the mechanically-grooved carrot chips. If this weren't bad enough, they completely overloaded the sick veggies with garlic (probably the minced kind in a jar). The pathetic bread was surely the type of sourdough rolls that you can buy in bags at the market. Now I know what Ebenezer Scrooge does during the year when it isn't Christmas - he (or she) owns a restaurant! There was a severe lack of overall quality in the food itself although I had to pay as if it were premium. Maxine's uses the cheapest generic food service condiments that they can scrounge up. The sour cream and butter come in tiny tubs. My knife could barely get the 'toppings' out. I as certain that dessert would have added insult to injury, so I left without continuing to "let the good times roll." Of course, Maxine's is already laughing all the way to the bank. If you are a glutton for punishment, sadistic, or just like to blow money, Maxine's is located at 207 Walnut Street (restaurant row). You are much better off to curl up with a warm can of your favorite meat by-product. For more information, contact Maxine's at (828) 456-7721. If you have any questions or comments for me, e-mail me at carolinian@wcu. edu . The Critic's Final Assessment The Good : Service and atmosphere kept my sanity. The Bad: I departed with a thin wallet and a sore temper. The Ugly: My garlic breath was lethal for 24 hours- and they did not furnish any mints! Mow IHd Maxine's Score?

New College of Business Scholarship Offers Financial Help to Native American Students by Johnny Mickel Staff Writer Do you need money? Sure, everybody does, but how about scholarship money? Sound interesting? Recently Western Carolina University was awarded a $22,000 grant from the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust of Chestertown, Maryland. The purpose of the grant is to begin a scholarship in honor of the late Admiral Joseph James "Jocko" Clark. Admiral Clark, who was known as "the Patton of the Pacific," was a vital part of the US Pacific theater of operations dur- ing World War II and served aboard many vessels until ultimately becoming vice admiral of the United States Seventh Fleet. The scholarship recipient will have in-state tuition, room and board, and fees covered for up to four years, about $4,500 each year—a "full-ride" for the recipient. The scholarship does include book rental; however, it does not cover any supplemental books that may be required in some higher level classes. Unfortunately, any money that is left after school expenses must be returned and is not pocket money for the student. When a student registers for classes each semester, the correct amount is deducted from an account that holds the award, this way .the student doesn't have to worry about keeping track of such a large sum of money. Because of Admiral Clark's Native American lineage, being of Cherokee descent is a requirement, and applicants must plan on majoring in a field offered by the Western Carolina College of Business. Other qualifications include a 3.50 high school grade point average, and a combined Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) score of 1200. If an applicant of Cherokee descent does not meet the requirements in a given year, then priority is given to students from the twelve western-most counties of North Carolina. Those twelve counties include Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Polk, Swain, and Transylvania. Since the original grant is only for $22,000, and the WCU College of Business as well as the Office of University Advancement wish to keep the scholarship in perpetuity, they will conduct a fundraising effort to continue the Clark Scholarship. According to Ronald Schiffler, Dean of the College of Business, "(the scholarship) represents a great opportunity for the university and the region. We (the university) hope that people will be interested in supporting this scholarship by contributing to the scholarship fund." To apply for the scholarship, or for more information, call the College of Business at (828) 227- 7401. According to Schiffler, the scholarship will be awarded for the first time next fall the application deadline is currently placed in mid-February but that is subject to change. Anyone who would like to donate to the scholarship fund should call the WCU Admissions Office at (828) 227-7317.
