Past And Present Restaurant
Legends Continue To Live
DANNY RASKIN LOCAL COLUMNIST
I
here's something about
local dining legends,
present and past, that
continues to keep them
going.
In the case of those still in
existence, like Carl's Chop
House, Mario's, Joe Muer's,
Roma Cafe, Lelli's, Kingsley
Inn and more, continuity
plays a big role . . . Con-
tinuous good food and service
are their backbones as they
weather recessional storms
and location to constantly
bring customers back for
more.
Those old enough to
remember will recall going to
Carl's, opened in 1933 on
Grand River, and savoring
that famous relish tray before
ordering . . . It hasn't
changed, with the creamed
herring, pickled watermelon
rinds, large iced celery stalks,
cottage cheese, etc. . . . And
those huge prime ribs on or
off the bone still rank among
the nation's best . . , The
seafood has always been a
Carl's feature and is today
even greater in variety.
Mario's on Second, between
Willis and Canfield, is a
worldly Italian restaurant
with a sophisticated hand
that distinguishes it as a
leader among the city's finest
eating spots . . . Little wonder
that people have been coming
from far and wide since 1948
to enjoy Italian dining at its
finest.
When people used to speak
of seafood, Joe Muer's was
usually the place mentioned
. . . Although business and
lines have declined in recent
years, it still holds its own on
Gratiot with probably the
largest fish selection in the
Midwest.
Lelli's on Woodward, north
of Grand Boulevard,
flourishes with its zip sauce
that seems to make those
filets sprout the wings of
angelic taste . . . And the fine
Italian dishes are joined by an
"On The Lighter Side" menu
that goes over big.
Roma Cafe on Riopelle at
Erskine has been famous for
its spaghetti since 1934 and
quietly wends about its
business on the northeast cor-
ner of the Eastern Market.
Kingsley Inn, on Woodward
since 1938, has executive chef
Remy Berdy at its cuisine
helm and still boasts a bevy
of homemade cooking
favorites along with his many
international specialties.
Those not in existence
anymore like London Chop
House, Pontchartrain Wine
Cellars, Darbys, Club
Berkley, Northwood Inn,
Clam Shop, Berman's,
Elmwood Casino, Wonder Bar,
Broadway Market, Hedge's
Wigwam and an untold host
of others, are always revived
in many memories for certain
things.
The New Yorky London
Chop House, downstairs in
the Murphy Building on Con-
gress, was Detroit's claim to
national culinary fame as one
of America's better restau-
rants . . . Pontchartrain Wine
Cellars on Larned featured
simple dishes of the French
provinces in an unduplicated
atmosphere.
There was no such thing as
"Where should we meet?" as
long as Darbys was in ex-
istence . . . Rather, it was "I'll
see you at Darbys" which
emerged as one of the Nor-
thwest's most popular
restaurants, located on W.
Seven Mile and Wyoming.
Club Berkley on Woodward
had its baby perch . . . North-
wood Inn on Woodward its
baby frog legs . . . Clam Shop
on E. Grand Boulevard a high
concentration devoted to
those who believed that all
good things come from the sea
. . . Berman's on Times
Square had cottage fried
potatoes people still talk
about and wish they could get
again . . . Elmwood Casino in
Windsor brought entertain-
ment the likes of which had
never been seen before
hereabouts in a nitery.
The Wonder Bar on
Washington Boulevard was a
place to meet in the evening
and enjoy good food and dan-
cing . . . People still tell of the
Broadway Market on Broad-
way and Grand River, getting
a corned beef sandwich at
Lefkofsky's and going across
the aisle for a fruit drink from
Kreger's . . . And who can
forget those tables at Hedge's
Wigwam on Woodward at 10
Mile with scenes from early
Indian life depicted under the
glass or of those stern-looking
Indians standing guard
outside.
There are some excellent
restaurants now in existence
here that one day will also
bear the rank of legend .. .
And so many more dining
spots of yesteryears still carry
that exalted label.
The direct summation is
that Detroit is not and never
was that so-called gastrono-
mical desert folks in other
parts of the country would
believe . . . Few regions per
capita can compare with
Michigan when it comes to
good eating spots . . . and
even in yesteryears the local
scene gave other cities a big
run for their sauce . . . out-
fooding many.
The dining notables of to-
day and yesteryears are dear
in the hearts of people who
are proud . . . mighty proud of
this area's culinary expertise
. . . Their legends are coveted
and priceless treasures.
NEW OWNER . . . name
change to a time-honored one
that brings back memories
galore . . . This is the big news
on the dining scene as
