NORTHERN EXPOSURE

at KedFire Grill arc new to Walled Lake but not new
to creating recipes we love to serve. Our chefs have created an artful palette
starting with "Baked French Brie wrapped in Fillo," mixing
"Linguine with Sauteed Chicken Breast"with tomatoes, basil and garlic,
adding Hare to "Char-grilled New York Strip Steak" on a bed of
caramelized onions, roasted peppers and a dash of color you might not expect.
"Grilled Fresh Salmon" with corn salsa, all without the gallery prices.
Stop by and bring a friend, you'll he pleased.

Lawrence has been involved
in various aspects of play pro-
duction, including directing
and stage managing. She hopes to
bring Rosenstrasse to Detroit and other
cities following the Traverse City run.
