Kosher Thrives In Oak Park, Southfield SHELLI DORFMAN StaffWriter T he Oak Park/Southfield area still has the highest concentration and oldest kosher eating establish- ments in the Detroit Jewish commu- nity. Here are updates on the four restaurants now open: Taste of Class Chuck Ehrenreich says when he and his wife, Miriam, opened Taste of Class in Oak Park last year, they came to the business with no food-service background, and have received "on- the-job training." They will mark a one-year anniversary Feb. 1. Part of the learning process has been to change and add to the original base. Expansions to the building have increased seating from 20 to 90. A weekly buffet was added, with a rotating ethnic food focus. Conference-style tables are con- ducive to regular meetings and lunch-and-learns. The restaurant also hosts other gatherings, includ- ing showers, birthday parties and sheva brochot. The family-run, fami- ly-style restaurant employs 10. Unique Kosher Carry Out After seven years in Oak Park, Unique Kosher Carry Out's owner Rita Jerome says she knows her cus- tomers and what it takes to keep them coming back. "There is always something new on the counter, but this crowd wants to stay with the same food," says Jerome. Offering appetizers, entrees, side dishes, sandwiches and soups, she also makes three-foot-long subs, salad with grilled chicken strips and rollups. Trays are available for meetings and shiva dinners; vegetarian side dishes, a cooler full of soft drinks and fresh packaged soups also are available. Booths seating 18 were added last May to replace a long bar with NQ ON stools. With all eight employees working full-time, she says the restaurant is very stable. "We're not leaving — this is the area right here, the heart of the Jewish soul." HunterDouglas WINDOW F - ASHIONS Jerusalem Pizza Open since July 1996, Jerusalem Pizza offers much more than the pizza their name implies, says Soril J. Sharon, who with her husband, Aryeh, own the Southfield restau- rant. In addition to 25 specialty gourmet piz- zas and a make-your- own pizza, their menu includes soups, cal- zones and 13 kinds of hot and cold s?..id- wiches. The last two months have brought the addi- tion of vegetarian meals, including vegetarian chicken-parmesan, vege- tarian Canadian bacon and vegetari- an meatballs. The restaurant, which started with a small counter, now has added seating for 14. New York Pizza World Kerry Silver, manager of New York Pizza World in Oak Park, says with pride, "We've been at the same loca- tion with the same name for the longest olany of the restaurants that are still around." Silver began his career as a teenage cook at his high school. With seating for 25, the 7'/2-year- old restaurant has a varied menu. Serving primarily pizza, it also offers sandwiches, four types of salads, egg rolls and bread sticks. The restaurant is dairy with dishes that can be made vegetarian or parve, but that are cooked with dairy utensils in a dairy oven. With a constant focus on low-fat dining, Silver says the restaurant was recently awarded its third consecu- tive Gold Plate Award from Oakland County for offering such menu items as cheeseless pizza, baked • items like French fries, potatoes and fish, and low-fat yogurt.
