THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Danny Raskin's
(The Best of Everything
IN DECEMBER ISSUE
of Food and Wine, Peter
Prescott says it best .. .
"Brunch and musical com-
edy are in many ways alike.
Both were invented in
America, both are intended
to be informal and, ideally,
both are as light as they are
satisfying. In this vein, a
toe-tapping brunch should,
first of all, be a meal with a
sunny disposition that is
celebrated at a comfortable
pace, with bright colors
abounding. Second, bever-
ages must be plentiful and
the food mouth-watering
but uncomplicated."
This could be the descrip-
tion of 1920s Big City
Brunch, 11:30 a.m. to 3:30
p.m. Sundays at Michigan
Inn, J.L. Hudson Drive .. .
as Doug Jacobs and his Red
Garter Band furnish
rhythmic beats behind a
cutout of yellow cab from
1920s era . . . Front of the
Coffee Gardens has been
removed and it is now one
big party . . . as tables also
flow into the lobby near
Doug.
Present Sunday Brunch
at Michigan Inn is the won-
derful brainchild of Food
and Beverage Director
Chuck DeSantis . . . with
everything in a semi-circle
atop trays on barrels and
cases . . . a la farmer's mar-
ket style . . . set up in lobby
area where Doug and the
boys play with joyous mer-
riment to make for a fun
time.
It's colorful, too, with
waiters and waitresses in
1920s dress ... striped
shirts, bow ties and gar-
ters ... as Doug's troupe
also strolls to tables for
birthdays and others
special occasions.
Amidst the 30 or more
items . . . plus 14 hot dishes
. . . are baskets of peppers,
oranges, grapes, breads,
carrots, pineapples, apples,
potatoes, etc. There are nine
salads, four types of bread,
bagels, cream cheese, soup
of the day, cheese board,
smoked salmon, pate mas-
son, sliced breast of turkey,
deviled eggs, cooked un-
peeled shrimp, vegetable
tray and dip, fresh fruit
tray, cakes, pies and
cheesecake.
Also, egg specialties (Be-
nedict, Florentine or
Spanish), scrambled eggs,
bacon and sausage, crepes,
cheese blintzes, barbecue
ribs, hash browns, quiche
specialty (salmon, vegeta-
ble or Lorraine), chicken
entree (southern fried, pot
pie or champignon), beef
entree (Stroganoff, pot pie
or pepper steak), potato of
the day (au gratin or cream
rissote), vegetable of the
day, roast beef au jus and
other delightful and very
tasty surprises to enjoy
while Doug and the Red
Garter Band weave their
happy music.
Behind one of the hot dis-
hes you'll find new Execu-
tive Chef Peter Benware,
graduate of Culinary Insti-
tute of America at Hyde
Park . . . going from states
to Sheraton-Perth in west-
ern Australia and then
to prestigious revolving Hi-
lite 33 in Perth, Australia
with its French and
nouvelle cuisine . . . He
married a local gal and with
wife Patty has taken up re-
sidence here.
Peter had been con-
tacted by Chuck ...
Being married to Patty
made the move so much
easier . . . and a big break
for Michigan Inn ...
Small world that is ...
Chuck later discovered
that Patty and his wife
Ramona had grown up
together ... and were in
the same graduating
class at Shrine High ...
Peter was also at
Wentworth By The Sea in
New Hampshire and
Wentworth in Sydney,
Australia.
Chef Mitchell Fish, who
does cooking for the
Benchmark . . . under Pe-
ter's supervision . . . is
graduate of Oakland Com-
munity College Culinary
School program . . . Also,
first time since Benchmark
opened in 1974, it has vio-
linist other than Gino D'Al-
lesio . . . He's Sid Coleman,
a good one too, who doesn't
stop at tables unless re-
quested . . . strolling around
with soft tunes.
The Sunday brunch at
Michigan Inn is cozy and in-
formal . . : with a fine varied
selection of wholesome,
all-you-desire choices . . . in
a festive atmosphere .. .
Certainly one of the nicer
places to spend early Sun-
day . . . Adults $9.95, senior
citizens $7.95, children
under 12, $5.25.
FASHION SHOWS for
the most part today have
become high entertainment
. . . The rhythmic beat of
blood-warming music,
strutting and dancing of
beautiful models and gorge-
ous garments worn by them.
Over 400women attended
recent Glamorama Lunch-
eon Fashion Show at Cong.
Shaarey Zedek . . . put on by
the very fine women of
Helen Rosenberg Cancer
Fighters . . . Ida Golden,
chairperson; Sandy Brode,
co-chairperson; Arlene Cu-
tler, president; and Sylvia
Epstein, tickets.
This was entertainment
at its best, with such lavish
precision styling . . . di-
rected and produced by
Leah Marks . . . and
choreographed by Bonnie
Suder . . . with models' hair
done by Joseph Miri of
LeSalon Dior in Bloomfield
Plaza, Telegraph and
Maple.
Out came a robot in
black cape, waiting for
everyone to be quiet, then
speaking an introduction
... whirling, showing off
"My beautiful cape" ...
and rolling off stage as
soft disco music started
... a male dancer then
did his high-stepping,
splits, shakes and twirls
along one of the best

runways we've seen at a
fashion show . so much
room.
Are styles of the '20s
back? . . . Long beads, short
and long skirts, over-one-
eye hats, over-the-ears
tams, sailors, straws and
material?
Then "Raindrops Keep
Falling On My Head" as 20
lovely models strolled along
the huge T-shaped runway
in glamorous fashion . . . as
the attendees enjoyed every
moment of fast-paced, pre-
cision movements by Leah's
models.
