What began 42 years ago be-
cause of ostracism is today one of
the most respected groups of its
kind ... Great Lakes Yacht Club
has much to be proud of.
HAVING BRUNCH with a
legend is the feeling one gets on
a Sunday morning at Carl's Chop
House, off the John C. Lodge Ex-
pressway at the Grand River
exit.
Carl's has had its sumptuous
brunch three years now, but pre-
vious owner Carl Rosenfeld had
never wanted to have one be-
cause he felt it would ruin the
reputation of his emporium.
GLYC has events
year-round.
This goes back to the 1930s
and '40s when Carl's laid claim
to selling more 4-H blue ribbon
steaks and chops than any other
restaurant in the country.
But a year after Frank Pas-
salacqua took over and reopened
Carl's, he went with the Sunday
trend and put in a brunch.
It started out then as just an
ordinary setup for the early, do-
it-yourself diners . . . And crawled
so much each week that few
people even knew about it.
There still hasn't been too
much talk about the Sunday
brunch at Carl's . . . which has
suddenly separated itself from
the ordinary and taken a place
among the good ones.
But why, you may ask, would
anyone want to go all the way to
Carl's Chop House . . . And the
answer would be very simple.
This is no ordinary setting for
a Sunday brunch . . . These are
the walls of many memories .. .
where major transactions were
once made . . . where celebrities
from show business and sports
sat within its hallowed ma-
hogany confines . . . where the
ghosts of time still linger to join
you at your table ... spirits of yes-
teryears with enough stories to
fill a bookshelf . . . Oh, if only
those walls at Carl's could talk.
In other words, there are
brunches and there are brunches
. . . Nobody . . . but nobody can
today also give the setting of a
Carl's Chop House.
What does it have from 10:30
a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sundays?
. . . Just about everything and
more that could be imagined at
a brunch . . . from bagels to
cream cheese to lox to smoked
chubs to sable to an omelette sta-
tion with regular or egg whites
to chicken to sea shell pasta with
meat sauce to oven browned and
hashed brown potatoes to roast
beef to tenderloin tips to pasta
primavera to salads to an un-
believable array of luscious-look-
ing pastries . . . and on and on . .
. $12.95 adults (Mother's Day
$15), $6.95 children 10 and un-
der, little tots no charge.
Sure Frank is there . . . so is
wonderful Mark Patuk who runs
the Sunday brunch with him
. . . and excellent waitpersons like
Carol St. Onge with the beauti-
ful smile, gracious personality
and very efficient ways.
Carl's Chop House is more
than a legend . . . It is a dining
institution . . . Everyone should
be able to say, "I had brunch at
Carl's . . . honest!"
