Cops everywhere are just ach- ing to get their hooks into you! NO TRUTH WHAT- SOEVER . . . to rumors that Irving's Restaurant at La Mir- age on Northwestern is or was closed because of a fire .. . Don't know who starts these falsies, but they can become pretty vicious sometimes .. . Ex-employees in particular have been known to be the greatest offenders. One ex-employee wrote to \ me but refused to give his or her name about a popular Ita- lian restaurant here that serves pork instead of veal ... I had the place checked out anyway, and it wag pure veal at this visit. How about the very falsity about Dimitri's Chop House on Southfield and Ten Mile being an "Arabic hoodlum hangout" . so utterly, utterly silly . not even worth using too much energy typing it. Speaking of Dimitri's, Chef Ernie DeMichelle knows what he's doing when cooking for folks with heart problems .. . or those looking to avoid them . . . He had open heart surgery 11 years ago . . : You might call Ernie's wonderful cooking a "mastery of the heart" . . . If you're one of these people, try his chicken piccante cooked in safflower oil . . . It's great.
