ITALIAN PASSOVER menu
offerings are being served at
SteRine restaurant in Troy's Som-
erset Collection on West Big
Beaver ... They're from an old
Jewish cookbook found by Chef
Massimo Fedozzi.
Before there was an Easter,
says Stuart Lichtenstein, Italians
celebrated Passover, called
Pasque Ebraica ... Chef Fedozzi
creates items from a traditional
Passover feast or seder and dish-
es served during the Passover cel-
ebration.
A Venetian-style charoset is
also provided with matzah on re-
quest, rather than bread.
MAIL DEPT. ... from Richard
Steinik, president ... "This is in
response to your recent item re-
garding frozen dough being
brought into the city and baked.
"Thankfully, we at Detroit
Bagel Factories, among other lo-
cal bakeries, do not do this. We
cook and bake our bagels from
scratch with our own recipe every
day, all day.
"We do not freeze our dough as
some of our new out-of-town com-
petitors may."
IT'LL BE almost like going
home again when Keith Famie

other restaurant to be opened by

years back at its Raphael's and
Chez Raphael in Novi ... The
Wisnes' Epoch Enterprises also
owns Too Chez and Tribute ... Pe-
ter Loren is corporate executive
chef.

YES, THE FRENCH
Gourmet on Woodward, between
Nine and 10 Mile in Ferndale, is
the same one that used to be on
Middlebelt and 14 Mile ... Same
wonderful, authentic French
pastry shop and bakery with
those very fine special occasion
and wedding cakes ... and it still
makes its own ice cream.
Owners Marvin and Lina
Bernstein have also turned their
French Gourmet into a fine lit-
tle restaurant, serving breakfast,
lunch and dinner in a romantic,
fantasy art nouveau setting.
"IT COULD BE the new 'in
place' for young adults," says
Howard Gourwitz, attorney for
B-W 3 Southfield restaurant that
recently opened on Evergreen, at-
tached to the Travelers Tower be-
tween Civic Center Drive and 11
Mile.
Howard's wife Gretchen
agreed as they watched so many
of the younger generation pack-
ing the place at its opening,
adding that all ages will also find
it interesting. ❑
