Pagoda Restaurant and Lounge on
Maple and Crooks, had a full
American menu.
NEW SANDWICH at Bagel
Basket Deli on Orchard Lake Road,
south of Maple, had no bread ... It
was corned beef between two potato
pancakes ... Leo Kaplan was the joke-
telling weekend host.
BABY JONES was a small cafe that
extended out into the Birmingham
Continental Market on South
Woodward ... owned by Joan
Wittenberg and Dr. Sonya Friedman ..
It served a fast-food menu that con-
sisted of Healthy Jones drinks, sand-
wiches and pizza.
CHEF WHO TOOK Pancho
Valez's place at the London Chop
House on Congress was Milos Cihelka
... Prior to the Chop, he had opened
the gourmet House of Lords in the
Raleigh House ... After a couple of

in Southfield ... He is retired today,

. Chicken cooked in paprika-flavored
stew with dumplings was the big
favorite.

happened at 9 in the morning and not
9 at night.
IMAGINE HAVING a dancing
license for 20 years and never using it ...
That's what Wally Kostere did after
building his Kostere's on West 8 Mile
Road ... When he sold it, the new owner
took advantage of the license and folks
danced to their heart's content ... even
though there still was no dance floor.
ONE OF THE best sellers at
Trader Vic's in the Statler-Hilton on
Washington Blvd. in Detroit, was
Chopped Sirloin Hawaiian ... made
