accurately, the bottom ... give North
Peak Brewing a try. A relatively new
brewpub in a renovated old warehouse
... one that actually has good beer ...
and the food is worth the trip too. .
While we are up North ... one last
stop ... up the Leelanau Peninsula and
halfway between Suttons Bay and
Leland ... is Key to the County ... a
real surprise with warm dark wood,
polished brass ... sophisticated cooking
... a real standout!
"SHE SAID: For the skiers out
there ... make sure to check out
Warren Miller's new flick on home
video — Fifty years! It shows some
really great skiing ... from the old days
of wood skis (including a shot of
Marilyn Monroe at Tahoe) . to today ...
Another up-and-coming ski video
guru ... anything by Greg Stump
Productions ... sensational skiing from
all over the world, mixed with great
soundtrack performances, such as Seal
and Art of Noise ...
"HE SAID: As long as we're talking
TV: Food Network's Iron Chef series is
catching on huge! Already a hit in
Japan, this is fast-becoming a cult hit
here in the U.S. ... talk about working
under pressure: two chefs, one Iron
Chef (Champion) and a challenger
have one hour to prepare as many
(more than four) dishes as possible ...
with a theme ingredient... last time I
watched, the mystery ingredient was
... yogurt! Check your cable listings, as
the increasing popularity of this show
is making the Food Networladd and
change slotted times.
"SHE SAID: I was whisked away
the other day to sample the new
Northwest Airlines' $23-million food
and service enhancement for domestic
first-class flights Starting now, you
can look forward to shrimp cocktail
and grilled chicken skewers for appe-
tizers ... a new, upgraded wine • selec-
tion ... new desserts that include
chocolate truffle cake and warm, right-
from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies!
... Also look for more creative entrees
from Michigan's own Brian Polcyn of
Five Lakes Grill, who is still overseeing
the Northwest Food Program here.
International flights will get a similar
overhaul this summer.
"THEY SAID: That's about all the
space we have. Oh, yeah — Shameless
Plug: now that the weather is nicer ...
remember the Pontiac gallery walks ...
held the first Friday of each month ...
and look for a new, revamped Web
site debut in April:
www.functionart.com ... a portal to
the best in functional art and decora-
tive accessories for your home."
