• JET JEWISH ENSEMBLE THEATRE nually among America's top na- tive-born chefs. He loves to talk about food and teach his varied culinary ways ... having an extreme passion for creative food preparation. The opening of another restau- rant by Brian will be some time this year in downtown Milford, where he lives with wife Julia and their five children. When dining at Acadia, you may well be having your food pre pared by Michigan's next or soon- to-be certified master chef ... If Brian ever gets the time, he'll take that 10-day, 14-hours-daily test given by the Culinary Insti- tute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. ... With seven certified mas- ter chefs (plus two certified mas- ter pastry chefs), Michigan ranks second only to New York, and re- member that the population of Michigan would just about fit into Manhattan itself ... Also, don't forget that some of those profes- sors at the Culinary Institute are certified master chefs themselves You somehow get the feeling that Brian Polcyn has only just begun. Acadia's wood roasting attracts attention. HAVING PASSOVER seder aboard ship was a memorable highlight of a most pleasant cruise on Holland America's M.S. Maasdam. It was much more than ex- pected and attended by about 50 sea-farin' vacationers who were likewise impressed ... Those like Lee and Judy Bluestone of San- ta Monica, Calif., had much grat- ification for the consideration given by Maasdam's Captain Hans Mateboer and his crew. Rabbi Morris Raab of Hallan- dale, Fla., conducted a thorough Passover seder complete with Haggadots, yarmulkes and tra- ditional dinner, prepared by ex- ecutive chef Karel Leemkuil and served in the privacy of Maas- dam's Half Moon room by red- jacketed and white uniformed gentlemen. On all tables with blue linen tablecloths and blue linen nap- kins was a traditional Passover ceremonial dish and Mogen David wine, continually refilled by the servers ... The blue menu given each of the guests includ- ed hors d'oeuvres, gefilte fish, chrane sauce, chicken soup with matzah ball, roasted chicken, car- rots, sweet potato and prune tz- immes, asparagus with lemon, lettuce with tomatoes, apple sauce, raspberry sherbet, maca- roons, sponge cake, assorted fresh fruit, mixed nuts, coffee or tea. Our table of Lee, Judy and Rabbi Raab was highly pleased at the good taste with which everything was presented ... in- dicative of the food goodness, too, aboard the Maasdam. This was the second night of Passover ... The first night was services by Rabbi Raab with buf- fet of matzahs, gefilte fish, veg- etables, wine and traditional seder plates. The public relations factor pre- sented by Holland America Lines on the Maasdam's Panama Canal cruise was immensely so- lidified for its Jewish passengers. From the moment we board the M.S. Maasdam, through Guatemala, Costa Rica, Grand Cayman and the amazing Pana- ma Canal to its docking in Ft. Lauderdale, the entire cruise was a complete journey of first-class enjoyment, including entertain- ment that was as excellent as one would expect from a cruise as fine as this. 17th ANNUAL Le Gala de Cuisine by Cranbrook Schools, one of the area's best events of its kind, is this Sunday, 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Lone Pine Road cam- pus ...
