Chef's de Cuisine
The
New
Presents
Good dinner — not overly expen-
sive — room overlooking the river
— brunch at the River Crab Sun-
day morning. Altogether, a highly
recommended trip. Bad news —
While having lunch at Mountain
Jacks in Troy, a roach joined us at
the table. I know that all restau-
rants fight that battle and the
manager did try to make it up to
us, but will probably keep me out
of there for some time."
SAINTS & SINNERS of Los
Angeles has been revived . . . with
former Detroiter Turk Prujansky
as master.
TWO MONTHS AGO, Foods
by Julie opened in New Orleans
Mall on Greenfield and Ten Mile
Rd. . . . and the place has been sold
again . . . This makes the eighth
owner, including Dave Dubbs,
who folks wish would go back into
the place . . . Spiro's alone
changed hands three times under
the same name. . . . As Jeweler
Morrie Beresh says, "All they'd
have to do (Dubbs) is put up a sign,
"Dave and Marty are back" and
the spot would be mobbed.
GRIFFS GRILL has re-opened
. . . on North Saginaw in Pontiac.
ALL STARTED SIX years ago
. . . during a gathering of
Maryann Zukosky and her
friends, comparing notes about
how much of a bargain they got on
their children's clothesWhen Hit
Or Miss opened in Oak Park, she
knew there would be more follow-
ing, and riding around research-
ing the metro area throroughly
proved that just about anything
could be bought for less than full
retail.
Now Maryann, Detroit Free
Press columnist, radio and TV
talk show guest, has sixth edition
out of her Discount Shopper's Di-
rectory . . . local guide to off-price
and alternate shopping in the
metro Detroit areaeverything
from kitchen appliances, lawn
mowers and VCRs to infant clo-
thing, pet food and grooming, etc.
MAIL DEPT . . . "We've trans-
fered from Oak Park and like it
here, weatherwise only, no snow,
hail or sleet. Sure we miss all our
wonderful friends in Michigan,
but that's life nowadays. Lots of
Detroiters here too.
"I have a small problem that
you may be able to help me with.
A few years ago, I was in a motion
picture with Bette Midler called,
A Story Never Untold that was
filmed in Bloomfield, Mich. by a
director named Pete McWilliams,
who lived in a suburb near Dear-
born. The movie was shown at the
Detroit Institute of Arts on
Woodward Ave. Thousands of
people attended, because the price
was right. I wrote to Bette Midler
and she wrote me back that she
has no idea where to reach Pete
McWilliams. She suggested I con-
tact The Directors Guild in De-
troit.
"I wrote to the Detroit Institute
of Arts, but didn't receive an an-
swer. It may be at the Detroit Pub-
lic Library across the street from
there. There must be an address
available there for Mr. Pete
McWilliams. I'd like to buy the
film or a tape of the movie to show
my family and friends, also rela-
