WHAT IS THE Good
Earth restaurant in Tally
Hall, Orchard Lake Rd. and
14 Mile Rd.? . . . You
wouldn't necessarily call it
a health food restaurant or a
natural food restaurant .. .
at least in either sense of the
words . . . A fresh food res-
taurant? . . . Maybe, this is
coming close since almost
everything served is made
on the premises . . . and the
same day.
But whatever one may
call it, The Good Earth is a
true restaurant . . . and
good . . . for breakfast, lunch
or dinner . . . with a liquor
license on the way (they'll

concentrate on beer and
wine, with beer from nine
countries) . . . plus broiler
that will charbroil fish-of-
the-day specialties.
Opened Nov. 23, The
Good Earth has 105 em-
ployees . . . and seats 204 .. .
including a "J" bar (that's
how it is shaped) with 12
stools.
The Good Earth decor
is breathtaking . . . Live
ficus trees are strewn
about the restaurant in
large planters ... and an-
other one is behind the
"J" counter, set in the
ground ... The light, airy
atmosphere is enhanced
by skylights, natural
woods, live hanging
plants ... blonde tables
and booths.
There's a nice touch about
everything at The Good
Earth . . . Even the water is
brought differently . . . with
a slice of lemon floating on
top . . . and decaffeinated
coffee made with Swiss
water process . . . not chem-
ically decaffed.
This is a new concept in
fresh dining . . . with food
that tastes good . . . and is
good for you.
The first Good Earth
opened in Reno, Nev., 1974
. . . More opened . . . and the
chain was bought by Gen-
eral Mills in 1980 . . . Of the
37, this one at Tally Hall is
Michigan's only one .. .
until owner Roger Alexan-
der opens another about a
year-and-a-half away in
Ann Arbor . . . There are 18
franchises .. . Roger's are
the last ones ... If General
Mills puts up any more,
which is most probable,
they'll be their own proper-
ties. •
The Good Earth train-
ing program for its em-
ployees is a masterful one
... and among the fine
exemplaries was our wai-
ter, Craig Whatley ... po-
lite, efficient and able to
explain whatever ques-
tions about the food that
were posed to him ...
plus explaining what the
dishes contained.
Craig brought us some de-
licious decaffeinated coffee
which he immediately
noted as Swiss-water
brewed . . . Then a carafe of
freshly-squeezed carrot
juice that tasted like any-
thing but carrots . . . so very
good.
Our salad had eight items
. . . including fresh peapods
and jicama, a vegetable that
grows underground and
looks like a turnip . . . The
Good Earth is the only res-
taurant we know of with
jicama.
You'll love most of the 22
different soups served at
The Good Earth . . . There's
two different kinds made
each day . . . Fresh vegeta-
ble soup is always on its
menu . . . and that's what
we had . . . This wasn't
water swished with some
overboiled vegetables . . .
Here was a real honest-to-
goodness soup with 12 firm
vegetables and thick,
wholesome goodness.
Buns brought to Lis by
Craig are baked in The
Good Earth bakery . . . with
honey and molasses . . . as is
the bread.
There are things on the
menu like beef
strogonoff, various types
of chicken, sliced roast
beef, shrimp, breast of
turkey ... plus a lot of
dishes without meat.
I tried the Olive Branch
Eggplant Casserole . . .
Middle Eastern spices
blended with grilled
eggplant, fresh tomatoes,
water chestnuts, herbs,
green onions, artichoke
hearts and fresh mush-
rooms . . . topped with two
cheeses . . . plus part of The
Good Earth Burrito . . . soft,
whole wheat tortilla filled
with pinto and Japanese
asuki beans . . . its own
Spanish Basque sauce and
seasoned ground beef .. .
topped with two cheeses,
sprouts, tomatoes,
gaucamole, sour cream and
lettuce . . . It also comes
with chicken or vegetarian.
My main entree was the
very popular Chicken
Marco Polo, which The Good
Earth waitpersons wish
they had a dollar for every
one served . . . This very de-
licious, delightful dish is
made with tender breasts of
chicken sauteed with fresh
vegetables, topped with
Mountain Jack and Ched-
dar cheeses and baked in a
delicate French dijon mus-
tard . . . If anything, the
portions at Good Earth are
too large . . . but then again,
who says a person has to eat
it all . . . Plenty of VIP
(doggy) bags for leftovers to
take home for almost an-
other meal.
Craig then brought a tray
with baked goodies from the
bake shop . . . (its retail out-
let is next door also at Tally
Hall) . . . The Good Earth
chain has had carrot cake
since first opening . . . It's
among the "in" things for
desserts now in our area .. .
and simply called "The
Best" on Good Earth's menu
. . . That it is, my friends .. .
moist, made with walnuts
. . . and a great texture to
say nothing of the superb
taste.
Another favorite is the
tea that has hooked
people like Leonard
Silber, a Good Earth reg-
ular ... flavored with
cinnamon, chamomile,
peppermint, lemon grass,
rose hips, papaya and
orange juice.
Manager/chef Michael
Frampton is rightly proud
of the food and service at
The Good Earth ... His
smiles blend in with the
beams of an all-stainless
steel kitchen . . . Three
woks work individually . .
All orders during middle of
lunch rush hour come out in
three to four minutes ..
Dinner orders are under
eight minutes , .. During
the height of rush hours, as
many as 15 dishes can be
