Joe Roach, manager at Orchard and 14, has been with him 10 years, begin- ning when Bob had a restaurant in Taylor. Bob enjoys cooking and still goes in the kitchen to prepare meals Mondays and Tuesdays, 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Orchard and 14 location . . . Joe does the cooking at most other times. The Orchard Lake and 12 Mile Silverman's opened March of 1990 and is a 24-hour operation ... It seats 60 and has a salad bar plus 9-inch pizza and also a lot of pictures. Naturally all Silver- man's restaurants have a turkey burger . . . Also Silverman's has opened a second site on Orchard Lake Road. something he calls "The Ultimate" . . . chicken or turkey breast on kaiser roll. There's such a huge dif- ference when a restaurant owner knows what he or she is doing. The success of Silver- man's restaurants is predi- cated on know-how and common sense .. . Bob Silverman has both and it is to his credit that they are used ... giving a cer- tain sense of valuable cus- tomer security . . . You can't buy this.
