Co-owner Ron Zagha and
former Detroit wife, Lisa Rap-

it made here by Frankenmuth

Lisa is the daughter of its for-

Perry's Majestic is the first
American micro-brew created
with certified organic211y-grown
barley and hops, a concept that
has made it available now in 25
states.
WREN BARRISTER
Mark Papazian said good-
bye to his former Juke Box
at the Woodward Avenue
site, he and Mark's entire
staff donned cowboy hats
and western apparel to
open what Mark might hes-
itatingly call an upscale
country-western restaurant
and nightclub.
As opposed to other area
country-western bars, the
Country Jukebox and Bar-
beque on Dixie Highway in
Waterford looks and fits the
part with an authentic
Texas-style barbecue menu
along with other local
favorites . . . The food qual-
ity and fact that it is even
offered are what sets Coun-
try Juke Box apart from
other area clubs.
