His mind is ponder- ing a subject much more important than English: Where should he go for lunch? Mouthwatering pictures of ribs smothered in barbeque sauce. fat and juicy hamburgers, salted french fries and ketchup. and giant glasses of iced tea float through Arnold's mind. But he is abruptly awakened from his dreams by his English teacher's voice. Arnold's dream is for real - there is a place where one can eat food that makes one's mouth water. The place is a restaurant called Luther's. Lutheris is an unimpressive-looking building on the corner of Gessner and Westheimer. It looks a bit like a barn with a porch and porch swing. The inside is much the same. Tables cover the entire floor and food is gotten cafeteria-style. There are bins near the cash register filled with pickles. Jala- peno peppers. onions and other relishes to add to a hamburger or ribs. Despite the casual atmosphere. Luther's serves great food. lts specialty is barbeque, but the hamburgers are equally as good as are the beans, potato salad. and king-size drinks. There are two Luther's in Houston: Luther's Number One on Fountain- view and Luther's Number Two on Westheimer. Luther's is an expansion of The Great Mine Company. No one knows exactly how Luther's got its name. One story is that there was a one- armed man named Luther on the own- er's ranch and that's where he got the name. said Luther's Number Two manager Steve Mott. The restaurant attracts literally every walk of life. said Mott, but mainly upper-middle class people. Its busiest hours were from 11:15 a.m. to one p.m. and lot of the lunch customers were students. Lutheris collaborates yearly with the March of Dimes to hold a hamburger eating contest. It is held every summer. outdoors. at Luther's Number One and among some of the people who have attended are Farrah Fawcett's sister, Dan Pastorini, and Marvin Zindler. 'IWe've been written up in Business Week and People, stated Mott about the contest's publicity. Business at Luther's was better than that of some of the city's largest steak restaurants. We do more in half a day than what others do in a full day, said Mott. Spreading nationwide is planned in the restaurant's future and present plans are to establish three more Luther's in Houston and two out of state in Oklahoma City and Denver. We are planning to expand as fast as we can obtain employees. Mott stated. Luther's had good food. but every time I shoved a chopped steak-burger in my mouth, some good-looking guy walked past. said Junior Melinda Miller. So whether for food or just for fun. Luther's was a good place to eat. As mouthwatering as Arnold's daydream. ..30- - Debbie Lalrrdowne
