MYSTERY MUNCHER writes ...
"If you're an aficionado of gourmet
food, you probably deplore the
mounting number of chain formula
and independent restaurants fighting
to keep costs down and profits up by
popping pre-cooked frozen entrees
into a microwave.
"On the other side of the coin, a
number of establishments over the
years have prepared fresh ingredients
and employed some of the country's
sparse number of certified master chefs
and certified executive chefs.
"In a shifting economy and popula-
tion trends, many of these fine dining
places are no longer in business.
Restaurants that included Red Fox
and Sly Fox in Birmingham, Jim's
Garage in downtown Detroit, South-
field's Restaurant Duglass and Great
Dane, Les Auteurs in Royal Oak,
Benchmark in Southfield's former
Michigan Inn, and so many more.
"Many of the fine dining spots that
have disappeared from the scene are
those which finished tops in a number
of restaurant surveys. Joe Muer's on
Gratiot in Detroit, was a run-away
favorite for its consistent excellence in
the quality and preparation of food.
"The London Chop House was a
close second. Ponchartrain Wine Cel-
lars was highly-rated. Another favorite
was Ciungan's in Ecorse. This old din-
ing spot was short on atmosphere'but
long on great seafood.
"Fortunately, some of the top fin-
ishers are still with us. Gandy Dancer
in Ann Arbor, deservedly made the
list. Carl's Chop House was a top
choice and remains a good dining
establishment.
"Pasta, anyway you like it, was and
remains a top favorite'at Roma Cafe.
Other Italian spots mentioned in the
surveys were Lelli's and Mario's, both
still going strong.
"For pizza, Buddy's continues to
_head the list. For romantic dinners,
Van Dyke Place, Cafe Cortina, Excal-
ibur and the Lark were rated the
swooniest, and still attract lovers.
"Of interesting note is that
although some fine restaurants are
doing well and drawing crowds in the
suburbs, perennial favorites in down-
town Detroit got the highest marks.
"It's a shame that not many have
withstood the rigorous test of time
and a volatile economic climate as well
as a fickle public."
