OK, I have a JSON object with two sub-objects. How do I reference a sub-object by name, not index?

Here's the JSON:

code:

{"menus":
	[
		{"buckets":
			[
				{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99", "description":"item description"},
				{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99", "description":"item description", "subs":
					[
						{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99"}
					]
				},
				{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99", "description":"item description"}
			]
		},
		{"baskets":
			[
				{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99", "description":"item description2"},
				{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99", "description":"item description2", "subs":
					[
						{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99"}
					]
				},
				{"name":"item name", "price":"9.99", "description":"item description2"}
			]
		}
	]
}

which validates as...valid...on jsonlint.com. I can access ['menus'] or ['menus'][0], but trying to get ['menus']['buckets'] fails. I have to be able to do this by name since it'll be client-updated as plain text.
