Beef ribs done just
like the others.

Island, maybe open 24 hours,
serving breakfast, lunch and din-
ner plus having a sundae bar.
Little Daddy's, slated to open
around March of next year, will
be owned by Rick Rogow, Tommy
Peristeris and Jimmy Zavradinos
.. It will have a similar menu to
that of Rick and Tommy's Big
Daddy's Parthenon on Orchard
Lake Road ... except for no lamb
chops or steaks ... Their award-
winning Tommy Salad will be
featured at the 200-seater Little
Daddy's.

UTTERLY RIDICULOUS ...

There are no other words to de-
scribe the placing of Cafe Cortina
among those listed on a recent
WDIV-TV telecast of its so-called
"Dirty Dozen."
The Oakland County Health
Department inspector made a
mistake when she told them that
their herb garden (of 20 years)
had to go ... After Adrian Tonon
tore it out, the inspector came
back and said it was an error on
her part ... Rina Tonon, Adrian's
mother, blew her stack ... It had
been the pride and joy of her late
husband, Adriano.
Here is what the 61 or 64 score
was about, with points taken off
for each violation ... none having
> anything to do with health:
Employees drinking from open
cups not with lid and straw, no
closer for back door to shut by it-
self, self-closer in the screen door

didn't work properly, no cover on
the waste receptacle in the
women's washroom, no shield on
light in walk-in cooler, at back
door and in storage area outside
the office, items in a shed not six
inches off the floor (even though
all were extra boxes of glasses,
candles, etc.), a worn gasket and
a gasket not secure at the walk-
in.
Cafe Cortina is noted as one of
the cleanest restaurants around
... and far-and-away not in the
company of those whose tidiness
is suspect.
CONGRATS ... to Leonard
Silber ... on his 70th birthday ...
to John Cetrone and the buddy
he calls his "older brother," An-
tonio Foglia, on their birthdays ...
To Flossie and Leon Maloff on
their 50th anniversary ... cele-
brated with children and imme-
diate family at Arriva.
BEST BET Of The Weekend
... Chocolate Jubilee, Sunday,
Nov. 24, at Ritz-Carlton, Dear-
born, by Alzheimer's Association
... Patron luncheon 12 noon ... Ju-
bilee tasting from over 35 choco-
latiers and restaurateurs 2:30 to
4 p.m.
FORMER OWNER of Pickle
Barrel, Al Winkler, has worked
out a franchise agreement with
Ron Forman of Bread Basket Deli
... and is back in action again.
It is called Bread Basket Deli
& Bakery, on Grand River just
north of Eight Mile in Farming-
ton Hills ... Except for bagels
made fresh by Al, plus the cream
cheeses, his menu is similar to
that of the Bread Basket on
Greenfield and 101/2 Mile.
THE FRUIT FLAN that
came to The Jewish News office
was too beautiful to eat ... so I took
it home ... and it was devoured in
the time it takes to say "lip-
smackin' good."
I left the chocolate mousse cake
for the JN staffers to see ... What
a laugh ... It was gone faster than
the Hope diamond at a thieves
convention.
Both were by Sweet Dreams in
Bloomfield Plaza, Telegraph and
Maple.
Seems that owners Sam and
brother Michel Daher (pastry chef
for the Saudi Arabian royal fam-
ily before coming here) have been
making quite a name for them-
selves in the realm of cake and
pastry making ... Especially on
those custom-designed wedding
and bar mitzvah cakes.
And if you haven't tasted the
Granny Smith apple pie made at
Sweet Dreams, those who have
say there's nothing quite like it
... It's part of the delicious-look-
ing line put out by the brothers
... Too good-lookin' to eat, but
much more satisfaction when
they are.
Guess if those cakes and pas-
tries were good enough for the
royal family in Saudi Arabia, they
should be OK for The Jewish
News guys and gals.

ing, boiling and fermentation are
done at King's Brewery in Ponti-
ac.
Memphis Smoke of West
Bloomfield became the first to
serve it ... Mr. B's Big Red on
draft, the favorite, is joined now
by five other flavors ... Coming
soon, if not already here, is a hon-
ey-brew beer called Honey Bee.
Another Memphis Smoke is ex-
pected to open in Ann Arbor the
middle of 1997.
Memphis Smoke features beef
ribs barbecued the exact same
way as the others ... And accord-
ing to many, they can hardly
taste the difference.
Garlic mashed potatoes ...
country greens of collard, mus-
tard and Swiss chard greens with
onion and spices ... red beans and
rice ... an onion loaf like that
served at Corky's ... lemon ice-box
pie from Gridley's ... all present-
ing the taste of authenticity.
Maple House, Confetti's, Mr.
B's of West Bloomfield ... and now
Memphis Smoke of West Bloom-
field ... perhaps the final restau-
rant at this spot.
NOW THERE will be a Little
Daddy's ... at the former Broad-
way Shop locale in Applegate
Square on Northwestern High-
way ... It'll be an upscale Coney
