THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

The Best of Everything

CAME • THE CLOSEST
yet . . . to that Louisiana
sauce (best with fried
shrimp) we've been
searching for all these years
. . . With the aid of Herb
Goldberg, we visited the
kitchen at Jakks on Green-
field and 10 Mile for a
culinary mixture of the in-
gredients we know and
hat he thought might-also
in it . . . The combina-
on hit a tangy spot on our
palate . . . and just about
rang the bell.
Although far from the-
way mother makes it, the
chicken soup made by chef
Chuck Formosa was
nevertheless good . . .
served to us piping hot by
excellent waitress Donna
Platt.
New feature at Jakks is
its salad bar, with fresh
ingredients and items not
seen on many like set ups
. . . It is not the sprawling
type . . . small by stan-
dards, but fresh choices
are constantly being
refilled, which, in the long
run, is much better than
taking from a salad bar
`where the same items have
been standing for some
time under heavy lights.
Of course, we also had
cottage fried potatoes and a
piece of that delicious
pumpkin cheese cake they
serve at Jaaks.
To compliment the
evening, Jo Thompson at
the piano bar was, as usual,
her very best.
AT HOME WATCHING
television, Toby Laker put
on Hollywood Squares . . .
Question was asked if there
are kosher pencils . . . Ac-
tor Michael Landon said yes
. . . the contestant dis-
agreed . . . and lost . . .
Emcee Peter Marshall ex-
plained that it was true . . .
any marking device used for
kosher meats must be
kosher itself.
TYPO ERROR on that
excellent sandwich buy at
the Post Office Inn on
Telegraph and 10 Mile, had
it as a pastra .mi on
knockwurst . . . Sounds
different . . . but it is Vien-
na pastrami OR knockwurst
. . . plus mug of soup or
beer . . . $1.39.
A PLACE LIKE
Alfredo's on W. Eight Mile,
just west of Lahser, isn't
meant to be a gourmet spot
. . . but an eatery where the
F amily can enjoy an Italian
nner,. specialties or
otherwise, at budget prices
. . . This altogether new
concept in Italian dining
makes a point of having a
full but -reasonably priced
menu . . . Alfredo's is
number one in what is ex-.
petted to be the first Italian
restaurant chain of its type
in the nation.
Many folksseem to forget
that when eating at
Alfredo's, they get
everything normally gotten
in an Italian restaurant . . .
at a much lower cost . . . In
our party there recently,
one person had canelloni,
another ate fettuccini
Alfredo (both $4.95) . . .
another ordered veal
picante ($5.95) and we had
veal milanese ($5.95) . . .

The low-priced check in-
cluded a combined salad and
antipasto bar, full-bodied
minestrone soup, bread
basket and spaghetti.
19-YEAR-OLD - Diane
Ingram at the Pickle Barrel
Deli on 12 Mile and
Evergreen, has to be one of
the fastest waitresses in our
area . . . If we didn't know
differently, we'd have
thought her to have bionic
talents . . . Ordered a cor-
ned beef sandwich late one
night and before we could
get the coffee to our lips for
a first sip, the sandwich was
on our table! . . . Gent
behind the counter who
made the fastie was David
Margolis . . . Yes, that's
Susie Abrams, daughter of
Shirley and Ray Abrams,
the smiling hostess on
Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings.
Al Winkler, bossman"
with Sy Ginsberg at the
Pickle Barrel, signs menus
for kids who take him for
Gabe Kaplan of "Welcome
Back Kotter" . . . We don't
see the resemblance to
Kaplan . . . but do'notice a
striking one to comic Avery
Schreiber, known for those
munching chip commer-
cials.
Scott had a banana split
that looked like all of $4 it
was so huge . . . H6wever,
when the check came, the
monstrous delight was $1.75
. . . a quarter less than the
speedy corned beef
sandwich.,
SITE FOLKS ARE
wondering about on Green-
field just south of 11 Mile,
with construction going on,
will be a restaurant called
Dry Dock . . .. cocktails and
dancing . . . It's next door
to Jack-in-the-Box, a Food-
maker and Ralston-Purina
operation, who will also own
the new Dry Dock dining
spot.
FROM A LITTLE
delicatessen on Hastings
and Farnsworth to a
glamorous structure serving
24,000 people a week was
the success story of Sam
Boesky and Darbys . . .
1917 saw the opening of the
original Boesky's by Sam,
who just four .years before,
had come to America from
Russia at the age of 13 . .
In January 1955, Sam
opened Darbys, soon to
become the showplace of the
Middle West, employing 120
people, seating 375 and
catering-to people from all
walks of life . . . Included
in the atmosphere of
elegance and congeniality
was a complete carry-out
department, coffee shop,
private banquet room,
dining room and cocktail
lounge.
Another distinct Darbys
feature were the mouth-
watering pastries and
baked goods made on the
premises . . .The success
of Darby's was a grand
tribute to the restaurant
know-how of Sam Boesky,
whose reputation was
nationally known.
Darby's was considered
by many as one of the best
restaurants in the country
. . . serving delicious
delicacies from 11 a.m. to 2

.

a.m. daily and until 3 a.m.
on Saturdays . . . Monday
was a rest day for the help,
who had six busy days ser-
ving more people in a week
than most restaurants
served in a month.
For Sam Boesky, the
nostalgia of his first
delicatessen on Hastings
and Farnsworth still comes
back every once in a while
. . . So do his other places
of yesteryears .•. . Put them
all together and they just
might fit into Darbys.
Kitchen at Darbys was
under the direction of John
Kerersi . . . now executive
chef at Squire's Table on
Commerce Rd. in Walled
Lake.
IF YOU WANT to try
one of the best sandwiches
around, have that Gold
Strike on pUmpernickel or
rye at the Gallery on W. 10
Mile Rd., east of Evergreen
. . . The pleasant little spot
owned by fine gentleman
Stephan Becharas oozes
with cleanliness and good
service . . . Young lassie
who brought us our
sandwich, pleasant Linda
Sutton, is a music teacher
who in a couple of months
will be returning to school
for her master's degree .. .
Lisa Herrington is the
quiet, eager-to-please and
most efficient hostess at the
Gallery.
LOTS OF GOOD infor-
mation in the Food For
Thought paper put out by
localites known as Con-
sumers For Pure Food . . .
Paper is staffed by Carol
Winkleman, Elaine Bass
and Susan Morris . . ..with
Carol Carmody its editor.
"Tansy is an herb with
lovely yellow flowers and
leaves like fern. It makes an
excellent filler for a bouquet
and repels theJapapese bee-
tle from berry bushes. But
wait, it has another use. It
acts as a repellent for fleas
on your dog! Simply rub a
leaf over your pet's coat!
IF YOU HAVEN'T seen
Sol Krim lately, he has been
hibernating and reading
screen plays . . . Sol and
the rest of the Krim boys
are selling their Farmington
4 Cinemas, one of the most
successful theater complex
operations in the state . . .
When a qualified buyer
comes along, they'll con-
tinue headquartering in
Detroit . . . and motion pic-
ture productions will be
their next undertaking.
