    },

    list: function () {
        $('#app').html('List screen');
    },

    itemDetails: function (item) {
        var view = new MenuItemDetails(
            {
                name: item,
                category: 'Entree',
                imagepath: 'garden-salad.jpg'
            }
        );

        $('#app').html(view.render().el);
    },

    itemForm: function () {
        $('#app').html('New item form');
    }
});

var app = new AppRouter();

$(function () {
    Backbone.history.start();
});

Looking forward for an alternative of 'options' in backbone.js 1.1.2

for what alternative option you would require

I was referring to this.options.name 'options' in My menuitemdetails.js

You can directly use this.name or this.category

Tried this pal, it shows undefined when I used this.name or this.category it is not picking the name 'Entree' on this.category
