As seen through the eyes of Marilyn Frumkin "In a twist on the Pied Piper story, guess who has little children following his grey hairy big feet everywhere they go? A six- foot tall pink-tailed New Jersey rat named Chuck E. Cheese who wanders among the tables in a res- taurant of the same name! "Chuck has a traveling partner, a banjo-toting hound dog called Jasper T. Jowls. The two mas- queraders have delighted the hundreds of kids who, each day since the grand opening, have been lucky enough to escort an adult or two into this unique pizza eatery on Orchard Lake Rd. near Telegraph in Sylvan Lake. "And then there's Dolly Dimples. She's a sequined, chest-heaving, computer-controlled lady hippo who sings your favorites at the piano bar.'Plus a large and crazy cast of other three-dimensional, computer-animated characters putting on shows in the main dining area. "There's more: kiddie rides, a cartoon show and circus mirror; dozens of video games and a 'Swiss Cheese' maze to crawl through; colorful flags that wave themselves! "Interested? Grab some kids and go. That's what I've done — twice in one week! The second visit was prom- ised so we could get our granddaughters to leave without crying after the BEST WISHES TO ALL OUR FRIENDS & CUSTOMERS FOR A VERY HEALTHY & HAPPY NEW YEAR laing5tep inn • Bar Mitzvas • Bat MitzvaS • Sweet 16 s • Banquets • Showers • Parties For All Occasions Excellent Facilities Available for Wedding Ceremony- and Receptions Plus A 160-Room Hotel For Your Guests Call 644-1400 LUNCHEONS MON.

"Remember the days of old-time neighborhood pic- nics? Chuck E. Cheese's is rather like that. Although there are a goodly number of booths, most customers prefer to sit at one of the many long tables. There, strangers become acquain- tances, children enjoy new playmates. It's impossible to be aloof. "Oh yes — the food. Well, it's Little Caesar's Pizza and sandwiches and a salad bar, pop and milk and beer and wine, soft vanilla ice cream with help-yourself-to- all-you-want toppings. It's all-American fare, nothing fancy, whole- some if not gourmet. "Don't expect to get away for just a few dollars, though. Our food cost on each visit was approx- imately $18. For that we had one medium pizza, one salad bar, two milks, two pops, one sandwich, one small soft ice cream sundae. "The more food you order, the more tokens you receive for the kids to go on rides. When the tokens are gone, quarters can be used, but on our second visit, we limited them to tokens only. That's when 2-year-old Jessica, to- kenless, scammed the es- tablishement. Noticing that the miniature. merry-go- round had three animal seats, as opposed to most of the other rides that held only one kid at a time, Jes- sie just sat on a horsie and waited til the other kids started the merry-go-round with their tokens. Chuck E. Cheese, I owe you 17 quar- ters. Let's see, that's ... "Accolades to Michigan Inn and its Chef Remy Be- rdy! Their Ethnic Brunch Buffets brightened the summer season. With more than a touch of class, each Sunday morning found the prestigious hotel's lobby and adjacent restaurants transformed into another delightful setting for yet another great 'ethnic' eat- ing experience. "Or so I'd been told by friends who had tried to get me out of my house on my 'lazy' Sundays. They reported tasty and un- usual foods, elegantly of- fered from seemingly endless buffet tables — at a very reasonable price.. "But it took the recent Jewish-Israeli Buffet to fi- nally get me there. Prom- ises of mountains of tsith- mes, felafel, potato-style cholent and K-rations (knishes, kugel, kishka, etc.) had me up and running through the hotel doors be- fore 11 a.m. "My friends were right: The buffet, held from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., offered the finest of Jewish and Israeli dishes, imaginatively served under the smiling eyes of a sculptured-in-ice Fiddler on the Roof. "A gazebo in the lobby was filled with hallas and wine, fruit and Israeli flags, a candled menora and an on-going, tape recording of "Fiddler" show tunes. Palm leaves decorated the structure and voila — a sukka! (Continued on Page 61) Arnal SOMERSET MALL HAS PRIVATE FACILITIES AVAILABLE FOR ALL OCCASION PARTIES. MEETINGS. ETC .
