sommelier Rick Rubel," says Sanson.
"Wine represents 21% of the total
sales at the No. VI Chophouse. It's no
accident. He has created an award-
winning wine list and taught his serv-
ice staff how to sell it. He's not only a
teacher, but also a student who con-
stantly educates himself about wine
trends in and outside his mini empire.
He's a numbers cruncher with a
palate."
IF A PUBLICITY man can't blow
his horn without attention-getting fun
and entertaining self-jesting, who can?
... "Franklin Publicity, Inc. is celebrat-
ing, with much fanfare and hoopla, its
10th anniversary of providing public
services. In related agency news,
Franklin Publicity, Inc. is_cently
named Franklin Dohanyos employee
of the year.
"The vote was extremely close,"'
says Dohanyos, who works alone. 'It
required that every vote was counted.
I'm thrilled to have this dubious dis-
tinction.'
"Although he still has to take out
his own trash, with the victory," reads
his press release, "Dohanyos will
receive a 52.15 per week pay raise,
free chocolates and coffee every third
Friday, and his title will be changed
from president/CEO to King emeritus
— Lord of all he surveys."
WONDER WHY Dept ... You can't
get a Bar-Le-Duc sandwich at too
many places anymore ... Sounds ele-
gant but is just a very simple and deli-
cious cream cheese and grape jelly
sandwich that was among Darbys'
best sellers.
OLDIE BUT GOODIE Dept ... A
man is having trouble with his son
and goes to see his rabbi.
"I sent him to Hebrew school and
gave him a very expensive bar mitz-
vah," says the man, "and now he tells
me he's decided to be a Christian.
Rabbi, where did I go wrong?"
"Funny you should come to me,"
said the rabbi. "I also brought my boy
up in the faith and gave him a fancy
bar mitzvah. Then one day he, too,.
tells me he's decided to become a
Christian."
"So what did you do?" asked the
man.
"I turned to God for the answer,"
replied the rabbi.
"And what did he say?" asked the
man.
"God said; 'Funny you should come
to me...'"
KORN KORNER ... from Sid
Rondel ... "Why did the dog feel as
frisky as a pup?" ... "It got a new leash
on life."
