"Do you sometimes wonder why a restaurant changes hands three or four times before it succeeds? Hugo's on Northwestern and 12 Mile didn't last long. Hugo was a gracious host who greeted the ladies with the old-world charm of kissing their hands, sang in baritone on Thursday opera nights and did the cook- ing in his spare time. "When Hugo left, Joe Brunetti took over, redecorated the restaurant from stem to stern and specialized in Italian seafood. But Brunetti's also folded. Maybe Hugo and Brunetti couldn't hack it because of conflicts with owners and in- vestors in the eating spot, all professional men, not restaurateurs. Needless to say, Excalibur, which opened after Brunetti made his exit, is still making it big. "King's Arms on Southfield and 10 Mile seemed to be do- ing okay. Business was brisk for lunch and dinner and showers at $3 a plate were popular. When the restaurant closed, it became Christopher's and then the Landing. The Landing menu featured dishes named after spaceships and planets and that was the theme of the decor. A disco was an added attraction downstairs. However, the Landing has gone into outer space. "The fourth time around, the restaurant was called Sultan's Table, featuring Mid- Eatern dishes which might have been too unusual and exotic for the average customer's taste. Sultan's Table took off on a flying carpet, but as since landed and remains as Dimitri's of Southfield, serving wonderful Greek cuisine. LOST AND FOUND DEPT.... The somebody or folks missing a friendly, well behaved and trained "Benji" type dog will be happy to know the pooch is safe . . . It was found in the Farmington Hills area by chef Debbie Nelson of Roman Terrace .. . A loveable gray and white sweetie, it is being cared for by Debbie's sister, Kathleen Fritz . . . If you are the owner or owners, or know them, call Kathleen, 682-2699, or Deb- bie at Roman Terrace, 8514094 . . . and turn tears of sadness into smiles of joy. BACK TO THE Mystery Muncher . . . I found a 1940s simulated wood menu, shaped like a "T" from the restaurant name, Tip's, which featured thick steaks from 95 cents to $1.10 and thin pan- cakes for 20 cents to a quarter. ❑ 82 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1989
