That chefs and cooks stop coming out from kitchens with dirty or blood-stained aprons; That some waitpersons don't leave town after taking our order . . . That they learn the specials without reading from hand cards . . . That they learn how to smile and not bring their problems to work (Heaven knows custom- ers have enough of their own. Dining out should be a mo- ment of relaxation, too, not tension). That Allan "The Singing Window Washer" doesn't stop warbling. That Max Sosin always has a fresh joke to tell. That more people get to see Kate Patterson at The Whitney. That restaurateurs realize there's a state law against us- ing the word "kosher" :without proper authorization. That Linda Solomon, TV personality, photographer of the stars and writer, doesn't cut her hair any shorter. That more people taste the delicious, no meat, stuffed grape leaves at Sultan's on Orchard Lake Rd. and Northwestern. That folks who love good lamb chops or perch try the excellent ones at TK's (formerly Dimitri's of Southfield) on Ten Mile and Southfield . . . That TK's becomes the "home away from home" that Jakks used to be. That Nate and Irene Light find another ring bargain like the one on a cruise years back that has more than quadrupl- ed in value. That the Jerry Lewis Iblethon here gets smart and tries everything and anything to lure back Mary Lou Zieve to put it back on the right track. That Phyllis Tyner gets her ever elusive hole-in-one. That entertainment per- sonality Sylvia Glover is made a permanent member of the WDIV-TV staff. That Jay Roberts gets hit- ched with another radio sta- tion . . . His "Night Flight" over WJR was a popular fix- ture for almost 30 years before format change at sta- tion created his release. That Dave and Doreen Hermelin never tire of volunteering their excellent services for so many worthy causes . . . and that Dave doesn't lose his exhuberant voice. That some limousine ser- vices get smart and realize they cannot advertise beer and wine . . . Honestly can't see how they get away with it. That the Laxa family final- ly makes it this time with their Medallion Restaurant, formerly Aristocrat. That Herman Fenton keeps off the much poundage he lost. That Ken Walters and Dick Sikorsky don't stop buying restaurants. That a local northwest area Italian restaurant stop trying to fool people with veal dishes that possibly may not be veal. If true, this also is against the law. That Cullen Meathe •doubles his already great fleet of eight stretch Cady limos . . . and never gets a flat tire. That people who still can't find Sultan's Restaurant or Vic's Fruit Market look around the corner of their respective shopping centers. That more restaurateurs in- stead of investors buy restaurants. That restaurants without good outside lighting realize how closed they look. That Chef Theodore Mitropolis is so successful with his Philadelphia restaurant he'll come back and open here again . . . Ibugh to lose a personality like Ted. That a Social, Inc. group is re-organized again. That a delicatessen associa- tion is formed for greater buy- ing power and better unity . . . especially in specials all could have at the same time . . . and prosper. THE LOCALE has had four owners . . . Saxons, Alex- ander's and Remal's twice .. . but now as Hampton's Res- taurant it shows promise of becoming the most popular. Hampton's Restaurant, located on W. Nine Mile, just east of Collidge in Oak Park, has a large menu with low prices . . . in a clean at- mosphere of knotty wood paneling, high ceiling, huge wrought iron chandelier in center, hanging plants, lanterns over all booths, etc. Of the 96 seating capacity, Hampton's, owned by Roy and The Sun Hampton, is mainly an all-padded booth eating spot, with just three tables by a padded settee. It's open seven days a week, FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, 1988 •
