OUR FAMOUS SUNDAY BRUNCH 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. • • • • • • • • • • this but from the president's office at the world's finest chef's school. Gilford LeCoze, LeBernardin. Probably knows more about fish and seafood than any of the U.S. chefs. He operates the finest seafood restaurant in the country. "MICHIGAN. Milos Cihelka, the Golden Mush- room. The first chef to be awarded the title of master in the United States. Not only does he command one of Michigan's finest kitchens, he is the mentor of some of the finest chefs in the state. He was the manager of the Michigan Culinary Olympic Team that won a multitude of gold medals and is also founder of the Michigan Chefs de Cuisine. Milos is also regarded as one of the coun- try's foremost authorities on the preparation of game. Jeff Gabriel, Schoolcraft. One of the youngest chefs to ever receive a title of master. He currently commands the culi- nary program of Schoolcraft College, which is among the finest in the country. He is also an Olympic gold medalist. "Dan Hueglier, Amway Grand Plaza. Yet another master chef, he has been one of only five chosen to the U.S. Olympic Team in both 1984 and 1988 and has achieved gold in both. He is the ex- ecutive chef of the Amway Grand Plaza which is un- doubtedly Michigan's finest hotel. Jimmy Schimdt, the Rattlesnake Club. Michigan's most well-known chef and for good reason. He is probably the most creative and influen- tial personality that has ever occupied a Michigan kitchen. Pete Peterson, Tapawingo. Tapawingo may be Michigan's finest restaurants and its chef-proprietor is the reason for it. Brian Polcyn, Pike Street. In my opinion, this chef is producing the finest food in Michigan today. His classical roots are those of his teacher, Milos Cihelka, but his food is New American with strong Midwest in- fluence. CALIFORNIA. "Alice Water, Chez Panisse. The `Mother of New American Cuisine.' Nothing else needs to be said. Jeremiah Tower, Stars. He received his start from Alice Waters and has defined his own style that is one of the most unique in this country. To go to San Fran- cisco and not visit Stars is truly missing something. Wolfgang Puck, Spago, Chinois, Postrio. Perhaps the most culinarily diversified chef in the United States. His roots are pure French. However, he has mastered several other influences, especially Oriental, and has adpated them to the bounty of California. His restaurants are the most innovative in California and perhaps in the country. Bradley Ogden, Larkspur Inn. Another true American chef in the same mode as Forgionne. He takes basic American food and makes it glamorous and spectacular. LOUISIANA. "Emeril La- gasse, Commander's Palace. Perhaps the most influential chef in the South. He heads the kitchen of what most con- sider the finest restaurant in New Orleans. He isn't afraid to adapt traditional cajun and creole to today's preference for lighter fare and does so while maintaining the history of the dish. "All of these chefs have one thing in common; they don't follow trends — they set them." LAST TWO MONTHS, the Ron Coden Show has been performing at Grand Traverse Resort in Traverse City . . The lounge is at the top of the resort with an all-glass ceil- ing . . . "On clear, star-filled winter nights, it made sing- ing "If I Were A Rich Man" a little easier," says Ron . . . The Ron Coden Show returns to Mountain Jacks, 10 Mile and Grand River, Farmington Hills, for a four week-stay beginning March 2 . . . Friday and Saturday nights . . . Three shows each evening will begin at 9 p.m. OVERHEARD . . . at Cafe Cortina, "Bird in the hand is bad table manners" . . . at Gateway Deli, "The best way to stop that noise in the car is to let her drive." WATCHING a couple of bowlers recently at Hartfield Lanes in Berkley reminded me of James Thurber's won- derful cartoon showing a determined wife about to pitch a bowling ball overhand . . . Her husband groans, "All right, go ahead and try it that way!" DON'T LEAVE folding money as a tip on the table . . . Play it safe for all con- cerned by handing it to the waitress or waiter . . . You'd be surprised how many times they don't get it otherwise .. . all or in part. ❑ POACHED NORWEGIAN SALMON WITH DICED RED ONIONS.
