It was little wonder that this fine Danish film with its clear and precise English sub- titles won an Oscar as best fofeign film. The story is an interesting one . . . and Babette's preparation of her sumptuous feast (in the film, she was an executive chef at a top French restaurant before fleeiing a civil war there) is choicely done. When the movie ended, the evening 'had just begun . . . as 21 folks gathered at London Chop House, where ever gracious hostess Lainie Pin- cus, her executive chef Grant Brown and master sommelier Madeline Triffon had an almost exact replica of the 10,000-franc dinner Babette prepared in thanks with her entire lottery winnings. Julie Greenwalt, People Magazine; Susan and Al Stark, Detroit News; Molly Abraham and Nickie McWirter, Detroit Free Press; Norm and Joan Viviano, Vi- viano Wines; Bob McCabe, etc., enjoyed the feast of feasts . . . applauded chef Grant Brown for his excellent efforts and thanked Lainie for an ab- solutely delightful cuisine presentation. Of course the silverware, glassware and fine elegant candleholders at London Chop House were much finer than those at the poor Danish home where Babette's feast was served . . . but the superb seven-course dinner was an elegant experience. Potage a la tortue (turtle soup), blini demidoff au caviar russe (pancake with Russian caviar and light sour cream), caille en sarcophage avec sauce perigourdine (quail stuffed with foie gras baked in puff pastry nest with truffles), la salade (salad), les fromages (cantal, fourme d'ambert and blue d'auvergne cheeses), baba au rhum et fruits confits (baba rum cake and candied fruits), les fruits frais (fresh fruits) and cafe (coffee) and Hine cognac. With the light, gentle tur- tle soup was a beautiful Sandeman Amontillado sherry . . . the blini was serv- ed with a champagne Veuve Clicquot Brut . . . the stuffed quail entree was accompanied by Madeline Triffon pouring an exquisite Louis Latour Clos de Vougeot, very delicate and airy. It was a most memorable adventure in fine arts . . . culinary expertise and ultimate graciousness. SENOR MARCELLO Minestrone . . . also known as Pat Diggles, clever and very talented marketing director for Charley's Restaurants, sends this from "Charley's Pasta Party Campaign Head- quarters" .. . "Charley's Official Pasta Poll, conducted by total novices and a few semi- professionals, indicates that the Federico Fettucine cam- paign may be experiencing a landslide victory. Close behind, with an avalanche of votes is Leonardo Linguine. A recent write-in campaign for Lido Lasagna has started a ground swell of support sur- prising experienced poll wat- chers everywhere. The same incompetent poll takers who are hard at work on our Of- ficial Poll are also responsible for the administration of this Official Presidential Poll. Therefore, we suggest you follow the lead of The Na- tional Enquirer, and other reputable sources, and total- ly disregard these results." People who vote for the best pasta during Charley's "Pasta Party" now through May 8 have their names pick- ed out to win dinner for eight at their own homes . . . cook- ed and served by Charley's folks . . . The Charley's staf- fers even bring their own pots and pans . . . and do all the cleanup too . . . There'll be a winner at each of the nine Charley's locales (Bloomfield, Southfield, Northville, Fairlane, Eastside, Livonia, Clamdiggers, Meriwether's and Ibledo.) The homemade pasta at Charley's Restaurants are special recipe creations by ex- ecutive chef Craig Common, THIS TUESDAY is a big day for City of Hope . . . That's when the Greater Detroit Metropolitan Council banquet will honor Frank Stella and present him with its "Spirit of Life" award at Hyatt Regency, Dearborn. Norm Crosby, who for years has served as City of Hope's international ambassador of good will, is noted on televi- sion, niteries and stages around the world for his com- edy style of word mangling.
