Nice use of shuffle! This is a clever way to get a random order without destroying the array as you go along.

key_ingredients = key_ingredients.shuffle
dishes = dishes.shuffle

# Prompts the user to define the number of dishes, not allowing it to exceed 10
print "How many items would you like on your menu (max 10)? "
item_number = gets.chomp.to_i
if item_number > 10
item_number = 10
end

# Prints the randomly generated menu for the user
puts "\nHere is your menu:"
item_number.times do |item|
puts "#{item + 1}. #{adjs[item]} #{key_ingredients[item]} " +
"#{dishes[item]}"
# Generates a menu allowing items to be used more than once
# puts "#{item + 1}. #{adjs[rand(0...item_number)]} " +
# "#{key_ingredients[rand(0...item_number)]} " +
# "#{dishes[rand(0...item_number)]}"
end
