the restaurant finding out why
they were canceled ... Unless the
restaurant feels that people be-
ing rushed to a hospital, for ex-
ample, should stop and call first.
That barrister Henry Baskin
tells us what "youth" pills he
takes.
That some Italian restaurants
without Italian chefs at least
have Italians supervising in the
kitchen.
That restaurants start calling
them "Happy Hours" instead of
singular when they usually last
like from 4 to 7 ... They once were
an hour of appetizing, but
restaurateurs with liquor li-
censes made so much moola on
the booze at reduced prices that
they extended the hours as much
as possible before dinnertime ...
The hours were "dead" anyway,
and the electricity still had to be
paid for.
That restaurateurs new to the
game don't punch the wall but
take it in stride while realizing
that "stealing" employees from
other places is nothing new... It's
been going on since time im-
memorial.
A wish
for children
first and filled
bread baskets.
/—
That Tribute restaurant,
opening around February on 12
Mile, west of Orchard Lake
Road, with Executive Chef Pe-
ter Loren and former Tapawingo
wonder gent Mickey Bakst as
maitre d', will be as good as it
looks.
That the Michigan Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame nominating
committee looks into the
wrestling scene of yesteryears
around these parts ... Seems like
we had some good names in pro-
moter Harry Light, wrestler Bert
Ruby, etc.
That the secret butterflied
shrimp sauce Town Pump on
Cass Ave. used to have is final-
ly discovered.
That many delicatessen coun-
termen find out how a deli-
catessen counterman really
should be.
That Dr. Milton White is rec-
ognized for his research work on
cancer and AIDS.
That some restaurant comes
along with knowledge how to
make crisp cottage fried potatoes
like Berman's on Times Square
used to serve.
That I attend the some-day
marriages of Jewish News
staffers Ruth Littmann, Julie
Edgar and Jennifer Finer ... real
swell gals who deserve the best.
That restaurant owners ap-
preciate it when they have good
help ... and let the employees
know it.
That Max Horenstein, who
used to own Max's Delicatessen
on Southfield Road, gives lessons
on how to make eggs and onions
properly.
That folks flock to Mac and
Ray's on North River Drive, Feb.
20, 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., for the
Culinary Food and Wine Ex-
travaganza benefiting Michi-
gan's 1996 Culinary Team going
to Berlin ... plus the culinary pro-
grams at four colleges (School-
craft, Macomb, Oakland and
Henry Ford) ... The colleges will
compete against each other ...
and 18 restaurants will be
judged by local reviewers.
That people don't take it out
on the restaurant owner when-
ever they see price changes ... Be-
lieve me, the restaurateur made
more money when prices were
cheaper.
That waitpersons check the
coffee dish for drippings ... And
also don't pour hot coffee on cold
coffee ... Laziness means small-
er tips, guys and gals ... Better
to bring a fresh cup.
That the owners of auto deal-
erships take a closer look at their
service manager's abilities ... He
or she is more important than
they think ... In fact, all service
folks are a big reason for many
customers coming back or stay-
ing away.
That I never stop thanking
Linda McCarthy for not looking
straight ahead while walking
to The Jewish News front
door ... By keeping her head
down, she found my keys lying
by a tree.
That Big Daddy's opens a Big
Mama's Italian restaurant.
That Dena Jacobs gives
lessons on how to do the Chick-
en dance properly.
That George Golematis of
Giorgio's on Greenfield, and
brothers Al and Mike Bshara of
Sila on 12 Mile, find second spots
in the northwest area.
That Gina Horwitz never los-
es all that great energy and nat-
ural sweetness.
That good dinner-theater re-
turns ... not half good and half
bad ... Surprising what a poor on-
premesis meal can do, especial-
ly when it is before the show.
That Norm Prady continues
his ambition in putting out the
informative and most interest-
ing Riverside Journal.
That restaurant owners real-
ize that having an imaginative-
ly decorated place, with
interesting menus, will never
take the place of weak kitchens
and weak service.
That people who park illegal-
ly in handicapped spaces are
thankful they don't have to use
them legally.
The most important wish,
of course, is that the coming
of 1996 brings everyone the
very best in health and happi-
ness. ❑
