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 (Continued on Page 35)
