soup, salad and fresh
vegetable.
The Peter's K menu that
originated with Giorgio will
remain as is except for varia-
tions that continually occur
in the active mind of George
Golematis.
The excellent pistachio
cream pie by his wife, Maria,
is still there . . . plus the ad-
dition of cheesecake, cherry
pie and other pastries she
makes so well.
Hamburger gourmet is be-
ing renamed hamburger
Giorgio, made with chutney,
mustard and bordelaise
sauce, and served with steak
fries . . . available at any
time, $3.50.
For 17 years, brother Bill
Golematis opened all the
Keros Famous Coney Island
operations . . . He started as
a dishwasher at the American
Coney Island on Lafayette
when 14 years old . . . Four
years later, Bill was its
manager . . . He spent 10
years with Peter's K before
be coming its co-owner with
Giorgio.
Giorgio remembers back
when his little diner held a
black-tie dinner for about 40
people . . . It was a private
party on Sunday with the
guests ordering off the gour-
met menu . . . The parking lot
was littered with luxury cars
. . . while people crowded out-
side to peek in at the strange
sight of customers seated at
the Giorgio's counter in such
elegant finery.
But it wasn't strange to be
at Giorgio's and sit next to a
bank president, sports celeb-
rity, movie star, TV, radio or
newspaper personality or just
plain everybody . . . One time,
actor James McArthur came
to appear here and while on
the plane asked for a good
place to eat . . . That's why he
was at Giorgio's one evening
signing autographs while
munching away at the
counter.
There is no dress code at
Giorgio's, unless George and
Bill Golematis put one in,
which is highly unlikely
other than no pajamas, wet
swim suits or coming in your '
birthday suit.
It will soon also have higher
tables (counter height) and
bar stools instead of the little
two-toppers scattered along
the window . . . Giorgio's will
continue to be a six-day
operation, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Mondays through Saturdays
. . . Sunday is cleanup day.
Yes, Giorgio is back . . .
Peter's K will be Giorgio's
again . . . "I have come
home!" says George
Golematis . . . And this time,
you can bet your mortgage
that he won't listen to
anybody telling him to get a
larger place.
CONGRATS . . . to Mari-
lyn and Sid Frumkin . . . on
their 45th anniversary.
FIRST PART of Septem-

rant Corp. . . . Matt Prentice's

former Tara Restaurant there

title because so many former

Chop House on Grand River
off the John C. Lodge exit

It'll be a reunion fun
day with customers seeing
guys 'n gals of yesteryears

more info, 624-7452.
DEBBIE WEISSERMAN
of Deborah's Invitations, is

on them . . . They were sent to
folks who responded for the
800-plus wedding of former
Detroit Piston John Salley
and wife Natasha.
CONGRATS . . . to Nathan
Williams . . . on his 91st

A hilarious and touching play about
two young women today
. . . The dilemma?
Personal independence
and/or
romantic fulfillment.
GOLDEN MUSHROOM
at 10 Mile and Southfield is
healthy and still doing well
. . . No truth whatsoever to
the rumor that Reid Ashton
has sold, is selling or closing
the fine restaurant . . . As a
matter of fact, Reid has ex-
panded Golden Mushroom's
operations . . . He's taken over
the food services at St. John's
Banquet and Conference
Center (with the gold dome)
on Nine Mile and Southfield,
heading food and beverage for
the 500- to 600-capacity spot.

Daniel Nunez, a Sephardi
Jew, earned enough from
peddling to open a general
store in Piscataway, New
Jersey. In 1722 he served as
a justice of the County
Quarter Sessions Court and
as town clerk, treasurer and
tax collector. He was
perhaps the first Jew to hold
public office in America.
