sider most of these stunts expend-
able, you'd be well-advised to go to
the Chop House for the food itself.
The owners are very serious when it
comes to the food and wine they
serve. They have collected some
2,000 books on food, wine and
tobacco, thousands of menus, and
constantly travel in this country and
abroad seeking recipes and ideas.
They claim their list of vintage
French wines is surpassed in this
country only by the Waldorf [Hotel]
and [Club] 21.
"The Chop House, naturally, in
deference to its name, features
superb chops and steaks. But as it is
in the Great Lakes area, it also
proudly specializes in Great Lakes
fish. Dwellers along the East Coast,
basking in the bounty of Atlantic
seafood, are inclined to be cavalier
toward the lesser fish of the Lakes.
That's a mistake. The whitefish from
Lake Superior, the perch from Lake
Ontario and the baby frog's legs
from the shores of Lake Michigan
have a delicacy and a gentle flavor all
their own and are prepared lovingly
and skillfully at the London Chop
House. Particularly recommended is
the Boneless Perch Dobler, named
for M. Dobler, the original Chop
House chef who invented the dish."
OLDIE BUT GOODIE Dept ...
from Bud and Murt Sherbow ... about
the elderly Jewish man in Miami who
calls his son in New York and says, "I
hate to ruin your day, but I have to
tell you that your mother and I are
divorcing; 45 years of misery is
enough." ...
"Pop, what are you talking about?"
the son screams.
"We can't stand the sight of each
other any longer," the old man says.
"We're sick of each other, and I'm sick
of talking about this, so you call your
sister in Chicago and tell her." And he
hangs up.
Frantically, the son calls his sister,
who explodes on the phone: "Like hell
they're getting divorced," she shouts,
"I'll take care of this,"
She calls Miami immediately, and
screams at the old man, "You are
NOT getting divorced. Don't do a sin-
gle thing until I get there. I'm calling
my brother back, and we'll both be
there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a
thing, DO YOU HEAR ME!" Then
she hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone,
too, and turns to his wife, "Okay," he
says, "they're coming for Rosh
Hashanah. Now what do we tell them
for Passover?" El
