26 Friday, February 18, 1977 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS LISTENING POST (Editor's note: Last week's Listening Post col- umn incorrectly included the by-line of Hy Lewis over the column from Las Vegas written by Danny Raskin. We apologize to our readers and colum- nists for the error.) QUITE A CHANGE . . . from Las Vegas to Henry Ford Hospital . . . Las Vegas with its glitter- ing lights, action-packed varied routine, elegant dinners and parade of fabulous shows. Henry Ford Hospital with its dimmed-down lights, regular daily se- date routine, so much food they should be ashamed to serve and the only show there looking out the window and se- eing the sun shine amidst the chilly environs of Mr. Frost. The resemblance bet- ween our tour trip via Un- ited Airlines and Henry Ford Hospital does have some togetherness . . . food served frozen, happy faced and dead-panned employees just doing a job — nothing else, and long-waiting periods. Still can't figure out why winning the grand Prize from Dysautonomia didn't include air fare as the tickets indicated . . . Then we could have gone anytime we wanted in- stead of with a re- gimented, rowdy group. IT'S FINALLY HERE . . . that fabulous smor- gasbord at Topinka's Country. House on Seven Mile and Telegraph . . . probably one of the best of its kind anywhere . . . All you can eat for $8.95, in- cludinc, over 100 items . . . eight entrees, over 30 salads, dessert table, huge fresh fruit table, etc. . . . Tuesday through Saturday, 5 to 11 p.m.. . . Sunday 12 to 8 p.m. . . . Non-smorgasbord diners can also select from the menu . . . If you like smorgasbord dining, you'll go ga-ga over the one at Al Balooly's To- pinka'S Country House. A YEAR AFTER Jonathan Goldhaber, son of Joel and Jackie Gol- dhaber, was born, he be- came a potential name celebrity . . Grandma Lee Shlom, Joel's mom, with her 20 years' experi- ence around town, told his parents that she wanted a store named after Jonathan . . . so she woulc outfit him with his Bar Mitzva suit .. . . And so, in the month of Jonathan's second birth- day, Lee will open Jonathan's Men & Prep store in the Evergreen Plaza . . . probably the first week in March . . . Jonathan will not only start young at having labels with his name in the clothes he wears . . . but who else will have them on the bags, too! HERMAN THE BOSS is coming to town . .

WHILE SO MANY re- staurateurs cry about business, Bob Jacobs of Buddy's Pizza on Conant and E. McNichols,. says business in January was up 30- percent over January of last year . . . Bob claims the reason is food and service are bet- ter than ever . . : Course, a lotto do with it are those new dishes at Buddy's . . . vegetarian pizza, 1/3 pound hamburgers, Ita- lian sausage, etc. ONE OF THE doctors here at Henry Ford Hos- pital who naturally pref- ers to remain anonymous, told us about a patient in bed with feeding and drainage tubes strapped on him , . . A house T keeper, who had come in to clean, muttered that she couldn't find an outlet for a lamp . . . "Plug it in me," the patient said Weakly. "Everything else is. - NO, GOULD'S Beef Buffet is not out of busi- ness . . . Still going strong . . . New Coach Lamp Sign is for waitress serving portion of Jerry Gould's dining spot. DON RICKLES putting, down a disgruntled wri- ter in Las Vegas . . "You think you've got it tough!
