DELICATESSEN
OWNERS are up in arms
about an article that ap-
peared in the April issue of
Monthly Detroit, called
"Nosher's Delights" . . . by a
girl named Marney Rich
who very obviously was
misinformed and misguided
. . . ply s owning a flare for
fiction . . . ("So what if De-
troit's great Jewish delis
now cater mostly to Gentile
gastronomes? They're still
kosher to us.")
Or, "The age of plastics,
undesirable cholesterol
levels, video games and
electric slicers have hit the
delis. So have the Gentiles.
Jews have become the
minority of clintele."
Or, Some Jewish delis
have tried to maintain au-
thenticity. Their senescent
storefronts are pale, their
few customers are loyal, and
owners talk as if they are a
species threatened by ex-
tinction."
A full-page photograph
shows a bearded, head-
covered man at a table with
sandwich . . . Behind him is
a Jewish star and the word
kosher written out in
Jewish . . . Ever see a
kosher deli in Detroit?
Speaking of delis from
yesteryears, she writes,
"Occasionally, near closing
time, a woman with full-
painted lips waited in the
back booth. Or a pick
pocketer sneaked in. There-
after, owners huddled with
Sam Spade types. Crime
was part of the background,
something in the urban air.
Men wearing fedoras often
perched on the counter
stools like crows on a line."
Who gave her such abso-
lute drivel? . . . Or such•non-
sense as "The propensity of
Jews to cluster together and
their adherence to strict
dietary laws kept delicates-
sens thriving."
Richard Lobenthal, direc-
tor of the Michigan Region,
Anti-Defamation League,
takes great exception to this
paragraph, "In the late fif-
ties, Jews made the mass
exodus from their
neighborhoods as quickly as
blacks moved in, taking
their schools, synagogues
and delicatessens with
them to Oak Park and later
to Farmington and West
Bloomfield. Now delicates-
sens are tucked away in
shopping centers next to
Elaine Powers places and
dry cleaners."
"The article is factually
incorrect," says Lobenthal.
"Mass exodus is a horrend-
ous and bizarre statement
without context."
Phil Slomovitz, editor
emeritus of The Jewish
News, laughs at the state-
ment that Jews have be-
come the minority of clien-
tele, saying, "Such a remark
is totally untrue."
Marney feebly attempts
to rate the delicatessens she
mentions with a one to five
grade . . . but her lack of
knowledge along these lines
is quite clear.
Horenstein's on 10 Mile
and Coolidge, is given a five

. . ("It is dark in here, dis-
heveled. There is a variety
of K-Mart lampshades, por-
traits of Bambi, a couple of
zebras and a huge swordfish
on the back wall that Hy did
not catch. He was a portly
impresario of delicatessens
before Gentiles discovered
them. He is, as he should be,
an ornery bull.")
But, regardl'ess of the
generous score, owner Hy
Horenstein says, "I have a
clean place, not disheveled,
as she says. The health de-
partment always gives me a
clean bill. I don't know what
she means by 'He has been
through difficult times. It
shows in the grooves of his
face.' I don't have a wrinkle
in my face. For 72-years old,
I think I look pretty good
and I never had a hard time.
I didn't like the reference
about Gentiles, blacks and
Jews."
Steve Hurwitz, owner of
Plaza Deli, Northwestern
and 12 Mile . . . ("This is a
hangout for silver-haired
men reading the Talmud
and perfectly coiffed women
with spike heels and
jeans.") . . . says, "The arti-
cle is slanderous and de-
rogatory. It's quite obvious
she's never been to our deli,
and certainly didn't do her
homework."
Al Winkler, partner with
Jack Baiter at Pickle
Barrel, 12 Mile and Ever-
green . . . ("The wood
plank-patterned carpet and
the fake tin ceilings not to
mention the punk waitres-
ses with cranberry eyelids,
did not have us reminisc-
ing.") . . . says, "The article
is downright butchery —
the worst I've ever seen. It is
an abomination, disservice
and discredit to the indus-
try. The whole thing is a
joke! The writer and maga-
zine have subjected them-
selves to a libel suit." .. .
Al's wife, Shelley, calls it
"absurd" and "biased."
Sam Lerman, boss at Ben
& George's, Seven Mile and
Middlebeit . . . ("Waitresses
who wear those pink sponge
rollers to bed, and counter
guys have Brylcreamed
their waterfalls. Everybody
has pencils behind their
ears. We also ordered a
Livonian, cringing as we
ordered, the insides of
which were vastly better
than the city it is named af-
ter.") . . . asks, "What has
she got against the city of
Livonia? And nobody has
pencils behind their ears.
Everything in the article is
false. She's full of beans!"
Bob Winkle, working for
owner Sid Neuman at Star
Delicatessen, 12 Mile and
Telegraph . . . ("The apron
looks like a three-year-old's
fingerpaint masterpiece.)
. . . "I don't know what is
meant by that expression.
We wear plastic aprons that
are always kept clean. She's
got us mixed with somebody
else!"
George Gunsberg, owner
with brother Dick of Mod-

ern Delicatessen on Fenkell
. . . ("Before unisex hair sa-
