The Best of Everything

EVER HAVE TROU-
BLE thinking of a place to
eat? . . . Few people can say
they haven't.
When in doubt, no need to
think much further . . . Just
get in the car and drive out
to Nifty Norman's on Com-
merce and Pontiac Trail .. .
It's the former Squire's Ta-
ble, and owners Norm and
Bonnie LePage have built
another successful opera-
tion . . . with casual infor-
mal dining in a most pleas-
ant atmosphere.
Ray King is at the piano
in the Nifty Norman's
cocktail lounge.
The cozy dining area
decor has large rectangu-
lar fringed shades over
terrazzo-tiled tables,
general lighting that fil-
ters through stained
glass ceiling panels, an-
tique cut glass enclosures
offering quiet privacy to
center booths, ceiling
fans, old brick walls, an-
tique bric-a-brac, etc.
The menu is easy to read
. . . and well diversified .. .
from soup to main entrees
(five meats and 10 seafood
items), five salads, eight
hamburgers among the
sandwiches, five Mexican
dishes, munchies like crisp
potato skins with cheddar
cheese and ranch dressing,
French fried zucchini
spears, French fried mush-
rooms, fried artichoke
hearts, etc. . . . Plenty of
desserts, wines, beer and
spirits.
Our waitress' last name
was to be changed within a
week . . . from Vanessa
Loutzenhiser to Seidel . . . If
she's as good a wife as she is
a waitress, new hubby
William has himself a great
gal . . . smiling, polite and
attentive.
We had warm rolls, those
very delicious potato skins
with cheddar cheese, thick
clam chowder, bar-b-qued
baby back ribs and some ex-
cellent tole slaw . . . Others
in our party had perch and
shrimp . . . All were happy
Nifty Norman's had been
chosen for that evening.
Joy Burls, evening man-
ager, is the kind of gal every
restaurant owner wishes he
had working for him .. .
She's one of the best . . . and
there's not much doubt that
Norm and Bonnie ap-
preciate her . . . Joy is just
that . . . a real joy.
REASON IS QUITE
clear why the recent local
Montreux Jazz Festival
was somewhat of a dud pre-
sentation . . . Music was at-
tempted to be sold to the
people, notjazz . . . This may
account for Plaza Hotel only
getting around 60 or so
reservations for the "jazz"'
weekend over Labor Day .. .
Decatur, Ill. has a popula-
tion of only 80,000, yet the
Holiday Inn there fills its
400 rooms when the Central
Illinois Jazz Festival is held
each February . . .
People come from New
York, Wisconsin, Min-
nesota, St. Louis, Chicago,
Michigan and other spots
around the country . . . be-
cause of one reason . . . Jazz

Friday, September 12, 1980 55

--- not
- just some music
is sold
. . . None of the bands that
perform are well-known,
either . . . but the Decatur
Holiday Inn folks sure know
how to put on a real honest-
to-goodness jazz festival.
ONE OF THE waitresses
at Original Esquire Delica-
tessen Restaurant on 11
Mile and Lahser in Harvard
Row is probably among the
oldest gals around town in
point of eatery service . . .
She is June Taylor, who was
at the first Esquire on De-
xter and Leslie more than
35 years ago when it was
owned by Max Mittler and
Nate Fredson . . . who prev-
iously had the Three Roses
Delicatessen .. .
She was there when
Harry Weiss became their
third partner . . . and today
is still with him at Harvard
Row.
Helen Duncan is a 25-
year veteran . . . also from
Dexter's Esquire to Origi-
nal Esquire.
The top lassies list in-
clude gals like Mickey
(Mildred) Melchert and
Sharon Ware.
Then there's Bob "Mr.
Everything" Winkler ...
with Harry about 15
years ... and Herb
Showalter, who is one of
the art masters in know-
ing how to make eggs.
Original Esquire runs
like a well-oiled machine
