QUESTION Simple Food Menu for clients...Can it be done?

[hameau]

You can also do what you want with the I18N Search plugin. You can order the search result by, for example, menu order, so changing the results listing is as simple as drag & drop in the navigation.

I'd also recommend I18N Special Pages, to allow custom fields (e.g., price, dietary information, etc.) and custom search result display. You would also want I18N navigation plugin for drag&drop menu ordering.

You could certainly achieve the same end result as that Wordpress plugin, but you do have to engineer it yourself. On the other hand, you end up with a much more flexible (and lightweight!) solution.
