Number one is service ... and if there is anything higher than one ... perhaps one-plus ... it's personal service ... Even higher would be good family service. The latter is considered an epitome ... but this is what CJ's on Nine Mile, just west of Middlebelt, that used to have signage of "Be My Guest," dotes upon with strict fervor. When Willie Stargell was with the Pittsburgh Pirates. he created the "We Are Fam- ily" theme that carried his baseball team to a World Series victory ... Everyone who works at CJ's is like family ... and to go with this, they have what the Pi- rates didn't ... many active family members also ... Owners are Charles and Lor- raine Wilson and son John ... Charles and Lorraine do the overseeing and boasting ... while John is head chef at lunch and dinner ... and general manager. Then there's smiling, happy and very personable daughter Lynn, head waitress and prep cook ... daughter Ann, bargal and waitress ... daughter Lisa, waitress ... and daughter Charleen, prep cook, hostess and bookkeeper. The Wilsons took over Mike Watzman's place on Aug. 6 of last year ... and have made a difference ... with clientele ... and infor- mal dining more conduciv e for family atmosphere. There is no loud music ... and the dance floor has been carpeted with Oriental rugs that now have tables on them. Everything is made from scratch now at CJ's ... with its very informal surrounding and tender loving care for customers ... Nothing like a family affair ... If people have any complaints at CJ's, chances are one of the wait- persons is a Wilson family-ite ... and if not, the gal or guy employee such as Janice Economon, waitress and bar- lassie; Sandy Mudge, evening waitress; etc. is still 100 per- cent customer satisfaction oriented ... Nothing better than having a family member straighten out whatever dis- contentment may occur ... Chances are very high that it will not only bring satisfac- tion ... but also the person or persons back again. Everything at CJ's is made from scratch ... closely re- sembling home cooking ... It makes its own rolls and bread, pizza dough, soups, salad dressings, spaghetti sauce, etc. John is quite adamant with his three Qs ... Quality food, quality service and quality prices ... People like this ... it goes so great with family care. Overall chef lass who makes so many very tasty dishes, Virginia Autonno, is a regular customer at Eastern Market and Randazzo Market for her fresh vegetables ... Virginia also does most of the prep work and bakes the bread and rolls. Head night cook who made our delicious chicken par- migiana, with side of spaghetti topped by homemade. sauce (vegetarian on request), was Ron Kibner ... working in an immacu- late and spacious kitchen with all the facets necessary for good, sound cooking ... There's even a charbroiler grill ... and customers just love those grade-A steaks that come off it ... not to say anything about the price of a 22-ounce steak plus dinner at any hour of day for $10.95. CJ's is not a pretentious place ... and doesn't pretend to be ... Nothing fancy ... There's 135 seating at booths and tables ... with green plastic tablecloths.... White paper napkins are during lunch and beige cloth nap- kins are at dinner. You can't miss CJ's There is a big sign and canopy out front ... It's open Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight; and Saturday, 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. ... The kitchen closes 10 p.m. each night, but a separate snack menu is available after the grill is shut off. Going over big is the Physician's Weight Loss ap- proved menu ... John was 20 pounds overweight and went through its entire routine ... Result was a separate menu enclosed within the regular one, which is also new ... keeping only the favorites. CJ's is so family oriented .. even some of the custom- ers feel like family ... that it has its own bowling league .. made up of employees and patrons ... The Wilsons sponsor a baseball team, also ... and their young grand- children play full-fledged football. Willie Stargell had his "We Are Family" winner in the National League ... and CJ's Food & Spirits Family Dining has its own in the restaurant game ... If you like intimate family dining ... with a big touch of TLC, you'll be a reg- ular at CJ's. THERE WILL BE AN- OTHER Larco's sitdown res- taurant again ... The one- time very popular spot, such a big favorite on W. McNichols and San Juan ... was run by Pete, Mike and Nick Larco. The new Larco's will be opened by Pet's son Mark ... next door to his Larco Bros. Carry-Out locale in Country Village Center on Evergreen
