+RANDOM MENU GENERATOR
+
+In the file random-menu.rb, in your code, create three arrays of ten items each.
+These three arrays/lists will be a different type of food or descriptor for
+that food.
+
+For example, the first array can contain adjectives, the second can be cooking
+styles, and the third can be foods.
+
+By selecting a random item from each of the three arrays, it can create a full
+description of a randomized food. It could create a few items like: hot
+pan-fried dumplings, soft steamed clams, etc.
+
+Optional Enhancements
+
+  Expand your solution to ensure that no descriptive term in a menu item is
+  ever repeated. So if the first menu item is hot pan-fried dumplings, the
+  phrases hot, pan-friend and dumpling cannot individually be used in any other
+  menu items. [COMPLETED]
+
+  Expand your solution to allow the user to determine how many items they'd like
+  to see via user input. Note: You will need to ensure that this user-chosen
+  number of items is not larger than the number of items you have in your
+  arrays. [COMPLETED]
+
+  Instead of using hardcoded or predefined arrays, make your program accept user
+  input. This user input will be utilized to generate the menu items. You'll
+  need to prompt for and store a varying number of entries for each food-type
+  array. [COMPLETED]
