# Off the diet!
Tammy and Charlie arrived at Ruth Chris and told them that they were taking Dr. Reynolds’ place for lunch. The waiter immediately seated them in a private room with a round table for 8. They slid into the booth next to each other, and started looking at the menu. They were famished and eager to fill their bellies. They started off with appetizers, ordering calamari, ravioli, and stuffed mushrooms paired with a nice bottle of white wine.
Despite being sick of salads, Tammy and Charlie couldn’t resist the decadent salads at Ruth Chris, so they each ordered a salad, Tammy had ahi-tuna while Charlie had the steak salad.
After the salad course they realized the damage dieting had done on their stomachs. They were nearly full but hadn’t even had the main course. Back before the diet, they would still be famished. Nonetheless, they soldiered on.
They both ordered the New York strip steak and for sides they ordered lobster mac and cheese, onion rings and French fries.
