uch has been said
and written about
the new Key Largo
restaurant that opened this
summer on Walled Lake
Drive at Pontiac Trail.
But the most important
part is that Kay Largo's ser-
vice has improved . . . which
is what folks have been
waiting for.
The $1.8 million restaurant
with a dining capacity of 275
. . . plus room for more on its
lakeside deck . . . was like any
other restaurant with its pro-
blems . . . but the wait staff
personnel has been
straightened out and Key
Largo, where folks can watch
lake activities all year round,
is. beginning to pack them in
again. .
Key Largo's decor is
reminiscent of buildings
found on American seacoast
piers . . . it's interior having
the look of Florida or even
Carribbean restaurants and
resorts . . . with a touch of
movie -nostalgia from the
1948 Academy Award-
winning movie Key Largo,
starring Humphrey Bogart
and Lauren Bacall.
"In renovating this 1930's
structure," says Bob
Kazanowski, "we took advan-
tage of its utilitarian nature
as a former automobile
dealership to give it the look
of a building that might
house a boat maker or sail
maker. The addition of a
tower housing a light echoes
coastal lighthouses and
beacons."
Key Largo Restaurant's
high bow-truss ceilings, large
airy layout for the main din-
ing rooms, windows spanning
the lakeside, and vibrant
floral patterns give it a warm
tropical look.
CITY FATHERS of Fern-
. dale should give Charlie and
Frank Pappas medals or
something . . . the owners of
Rialto Restaurant on Wood-
ward and Nine Mile have
brought more, people into the
city than a parade of strippers
. . . Reason is those $8.95 com-
plete dinners for two . . . any
choices for both or all persons
. . . no holds barred.
HOT DAWG! And More
(sandwiches, salads, etc.) will
open middle of October in
Village Commons strip
center, Grand River just east
of Farmington Road.
It's being opened.by former
orchestra leader Larry Freed-

man, completely retired as
assistant superintendent of
Farmington school system.
Restaurant will be operated
by Larry's and Mimi's son-in-
law, Mike Glanzrock, who
worked in Chicago
restaurants serving he
hotties.
A Chicago Dawg is Vienna
pure beef hot dog served on
top of relish, mustard, onions,
Y2 slice tomato, kosher dill
pickle and sprinkled with
celery salt . . . About 200 of
them were recently sold at
the Farmington Founders
Festival.
There'll be classical music
played at the restaurant .. .
Larry, Mimi and George are
opening Hot Dawg! And More
after- frequent visits to
Chicago, often to have the
Chicago Dawg.

ALLAN SCHWARTZ,

"The Singing Window
Washer," has finally made his
stage debut . . . Was at the
Fisher Theater recently .. .
as the 13th corpse in Arsenic
and Old Lace -. . . 13th is
usually a noted personage .. .
which Allan has become .. .
and although his stage debut
was kind of dead, you might
say Allan finally made it.

CAN'T IMAGINE a local
council of rabbis calling Irv-
ing's Deli restaurant and tell-
ing Rose and Irving Guttman
they couldn't use the term
kosher when referring to Em-
pire Kosher chicken . . . Coun-
cil said it wasn't legal . . . If
that's the case, Manischewitz,
Mother's, Streit's, Best's,
Sinai, Wilno, etc. can't use it
either!
Anything kosher is that un-
til cooked and served in non-
kosher establishments . . .
But the fact remains that it is
still kosher before being
prepared.
This is a most strange
situation . . . and could be a
very sad day for restaurants
(especially delicatessens) not
allowed to use the word
kosher . . . even though the
product is stated as such .. .
and haS the proper kashruth
symbol.
SONG THAT Roger Whit-
taker made famous and
which he recently sang at
Meadow Brook Theater,
"They Say That When You
Gain A Lover, You Begin to
Lose A Friend" is just that
. . . a song . . . the words are
meaningless . . . A lot of folks
who've been wed for many
years could attest that a real-
ly good marriage is based
upon a truly good friendship.

GOOD WAITRESS Dept.
. . . Brenda Laxton . . . at E.G.
Nick's on W. Maple, north of
Orchard Lake Rd. . . . very
personable, pleasant and
most efficient.
THROUGH the course of
the year, Kingsley Inn on N.
Woodward in Bloomfield
Hills, will be the site of hun-
dreds of conferences, cor-
porate meetings and family
gatherings . . . Members of -
the Jewish community make
up a significant portion of
those participants.
Sam and Gabe Zawideh
(pronounced Za-Why-Da), co-
owners of Kingsley Inn, know
what it means to be asked to
be a part of a Jewish family's
tradition . . . and for them it
is an honor that carries with
it serious responsibilities.
"We are being asked to be
a part of their family history.
That's a great compliment,"
says Sam . . . and well put.
Linda Newman (James) is a
long-time client of Kingsley
Inn . . . Her family has a
lengthy history of functions
there and she reserved the
Grand Ballroom for her son's
bar mitzvah in April of 1988.
Layla Zawideh, Sam's
daughter and Kingsley Inn
assistant general
manager/marketing, says the
number of weddings held at
Kingsley Inn has been a
'substantial aspect of the
business since the Zawideh
family purchased it in 1977.
Rachel Margules, daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. Saul
Margules, will have her wed-
ding and reception in October
at Kingsley, with Rabbi Lane
Steinger of rIbmple Emanu-El
officiating . . . Estelle and
Harry Kaufman celebrated
their 50th anniversary there
in May . . . Sid and Rita
Barish Watched in June of
last year as the bar mitzvah
celebration for their son un-
folded before 15d guests at
Kingsley Inn . . . and
remember how the anxieties
that accompany planning
such an event melted away
. . . "When you pay that kind
of money for a service, you ex-
pect to get what you want,"
says Rita. "We got it and
more."
Although Kingsley's ten
banquet and meeting rooms
are of sizes that vary enough
to handle as many as 500, the
Kingsley staff is often asked
to come into the homes of
area families to provide the
catering service.
Some of the off-premise par-
ties offer the Kingsley staff a
