SOUTHFIELD
John Wong has captured the
dining imagination of many
with his moderately-priced Chi-
nese food at lunch and dinner.
Pearl City Southfield's Sunday
buffet, dinner buffet and menu
selections offer customers a va-
riety of ways in which to dine.
It's children's menu is also high-
ly received.
Radisson Plaza Hotel, 1500
Town Center, Southfield, 827-
4000. The two stylish restau-
rants at popular Radisson Plaza
Hotel are each noted for indi-
vidual goodness. Bouquets is
its fine dining room and Tan-
go's Cocktail Lounge features
a bistro atmosphere with en-
tertainment for dancing Thurs-
day through Saturday. The
entire hotel has been rated four
diamonds by AAA for the many
services it offers.
Star Deli, 24555 W. 12 Mile
Rd., Southfield, 352-7377. This
is one of Michigan's largest del-
icatessen carry-out operations,
but you wouldn't know it from
the size. And everything is
homemade, cole slaw, potato
salad, chicken salad, tuna sal-
ad, egg salad and much more.
Star cooks its own corned beef
and pastrami, and the 7-day op-
eration includes a major spe-
cialty — beautiful tray catering.

TROY
Charley's Crab, 5498 Crooks
Rd., Troy, 879-2060. Its dining
room was once the beautiful
great room of an auto baron's
Grosse Pointe mansion, sheer
elegance, and the true concept
of Chuck Muer seafood cuisine
is highly exemplified here. But
don't think for a moment that
this is all, just seafood. Charley's
Crab's menu, although highly
fish oriented, also includes dish-
es to delight other palates.
Franco's Cafe, 3614 Rochester
Road, Troy, 528-0153. This is
another of those "sleeper" types
of Italian restaurants you hear
about, as authentic as its own-
er, Sicilian-born Franco Gior-
lando. Wife, Anna Maria, can
prepare most of the items Fran-
co makes but concentrates on
the restaurant's banquets and
party catering. His innovative
ways of cooking are also a rev-
elation, but authenticity is the
keyword of success for an Ital-
ian dining spot that has been
"discovered."
