JAL TABLE The Welcome Mat Is Out There are about 25 Morton's of Chicago steakhouses, all com- pany-owned, none franchised ... Its food costs are high but Mor- ton's is probably one of the few expensive restaurants where to- tal value is given. Morton's in Southfield seats 130 in the 1,850-square -foot din- ing room, with another 30 in the 550-square-foot bar-lounge and 50 more in a private boardroom.

Reservations are recommended. Morton's of Chicago, with its 26 units, may be noted as one of America's finest steak houses, but there are few who would de- bate that it is also among the tops in fine dining ... meat or seafood ... and in most instances a good example of getting what you pay for.

BEE'S NOW called "Dan The Matchmaker" ... Three times that retired Chinese restaurateur Dan Woo has taken grandchil- dren to Hong Kong in hopes of meeting a mate ... and he's hit a home run each trip. First was Victor, then Arthur, and most recently, Joyann The children of Gene and Ruby Woo were escorted around by family friends there who could also speak English ... and each met their life's companion in a 100 percent score by Dan. Forty years ago, Dan Woo opened Hoa Kow on Nine Mile in Oak Park with son Gene, and to- day it is the only pioneer re- maining in that sector ... A second Hoa Kow opened by Gene is in Crosswinds Mall on Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield. All three were married in Hong Kong ... and then had a second wedding here with lavish receptions at Penna's Hall on Van Dyke in Warren ... Victor had 650 guests, and Arthur 600 Joyann and Jimmy Yu had 700 in an almost-Jewish marital setting ... In keeping with some Jewish ways, Joyann and Jim- my's wedding ceremony here was called for 6:30 p.m. and started around 7 p.m. ... Unlike the oth- er two ceremonies, this lasted a little longer, almost 10 minutes ... All three were entirely in Eng- lish. If people didn't know better, they'd think this was a Jewish re- ception with Chinese guests ... There seemed to be so many corn- munity-ites who partook of the chicken noodle soup, filet and boneless breast of chicken stuffed with spinach and feta cheese, pasta salad and an out-of-this- world sweet table. At the weddings of Victor and Arthur, the challah was cut by yarmulke-headed Norman Jaf- fee ... For Joyann, it was Hoa Kow of West Bloomfield evening hostess Carol Homer's father-in- law, Jack Homer, also wearing a yarmulke. Not a bad idea was the tall box where envelopes with checks or cash could be dropped instead of guys bending their tux out of shape with stuffed pockets ... Boxed gifts were galore ... and in the Chinese custom, Joyann was covered with gold ... necklaces and bracelets. Our table was a fun one with Sid Frumkin, Millie Bell, barris- ter Paul and Nancy Frumkin Jerry Glassman came over to ex- tol wonderful words about his Glassman parties for seniors at the Jewish Community Center in Oak Park ... Mickey and Mor- rey Beresh never looked better ... Harold Finegood kept his record intact by wearing a sport shirt and, of course, no tie ... Mitchell Merzon brought back memories of yesteryears ... Hard to believe "little Mitchell" has been married so long to Kathy ... Gene and Ruby Woo going from table to table raising glasses with "Fchayim!" So if you guys and gals are looking for a mate ... see Dan "The Matchmaker" Woo ... Who knows, maybe sneaky Dan has some hidden prizes stashed away right here. GOOD WAITRESS Dept.
