and 12 Mile, brunch is a
popular pastime for the
retired set. For those plagued
with high cholesterol or wat-
ching theirs, Egg Beaters or
egg white omelets are
available. Retired men are
dressed for golf or other
leisure activity.
"They dawdle over their
eggs or bagels and lox and
onions and greet customers
who come in and do the same.
You can tell the working men
because they're the ones who
are drawing up million-dollar
deals on the tablecloth. More
fortunes have been made and
lost with no equipment other
than a pencil and a paper
napkin.
"Retired women come to
Seros to fortify themselves for
babysitting their grand-
children or before the weekly
mah Jong game. For them,
brunch, swapping stories and
people-watching can be the
best therapy. Eavesdropping
is just as much fun.
"The Ram's Horn on 12
Mile near Northwestern is
another popular meeting spot
for those on senior discounts.
The tunatizer on pita bread is
far and away the most
popular item on the menu.
"Other favorite brunch and
lunch spots are Deli Unique
on Telegraph, the Bread
Basket on Greenfield, the
Pickle Barrel on Evergreen
and Gateway Deli on 11 Mile.
"At Norm's Oyster Bar on
Franklin Road at lunchtime,
corporate men and women
can be seen dressed in conser-
vative suits and carrying
briefcases.
"From the posh to the pro-
saic, pate to pizza, pheasant
under glass to pastrami on
rye, you can take your pick of
hundreds of eating spots in
the metro Detroit area. Not
all offer senior discounts.
"Another neat luncheon
spot is the Beverly Hills Grill
on Southfield Road.. This chic
little bistro decked out in
uncluttered California decor
is diminutive and busy. Some
favorite items on the lun-
cheon menu are Caesar salad
with grilled chicken, grilled
yellow fin tuna and fettuccini
carbonara.
"Matt Brady's on South-
field Road near 13 Mile is a
friendly, neighborhood pub
with lots of action at the bar.
Good salads, including
shrimp, and tasty burgers
dominate the menu.
"Another lively spot is Mr.
Joe's on 12 Mile near Nor-
thwestern. The sports-minded
enjoy games on the big TV at
this noisy spot and the ham-
burgers are among the best in
town.
"Jacques Demers Restau-
rant and Lounge in the Em-
bassy Suites on Franklin
Road is a popular after-work
spot for the area's white-
collared crowd. For sports
buffs, the walls are dotted
with sports memorabilia. The
menu is basically American
grill with a little flair.
"You're in for a treat if you
lunch at Kyla's on Sixth
Street in Royal Oak. The
delicious bread, pastries and
pasta are made on the prem-
ises. One of the favorites is
escargot lasagna, but you
can't go wrong on any adven-
turesome food item in this
family-run restaurant.
"When we're in an elegant
holiday-type mood, we treat
ourselves to lunch at Machus
Sly Fox on Hunter in Birm-
ingham or Red Fox on
Telegraph and Maple Road.
We love lunching on the
outstanding Machus salad
and sitting by the warm,
festive fireplace. Both Foxes
are elegantly appointed and
you're in the capable hands of
very professional waitpersons.
"We rediscovered Fox and
Hounds out Woodward Ave-
nue and once again enjoyed
the warm, old English coun-
try inn atmosphere. The
entrees range from the tradi-
tional to the trendy. We en-
joyed the char-grilled chicken
breast fettuccini for dinner.
"Scallops on Main in
Rochester offers a nautical at-
mosphere throughout, down
to the seashell pattern on the
dinnerware. The menu
features a variety of seafood,
with one section devoted en-
tirely to scallops, shrimp,
lobster and crab.
"All in all, there's no shor-
tage of dining spots in the
metro Detroit area, catering
to a vast variety of tastes."
