Q Tinetti, sales and marketing director ... Jerry was born in Detroit, and about that filet, he uses nothing but top quali- ty certified Angus beef. In Houston, Jerry and Frank worked together at the Marriott there, where Jerry helped Frank open Marriott restaurants around the country ... Last year, Frank told Jerry's mother, "I'm bringing your son back to Michigan" ... A local resident, she said, "Frank, if you do, you'll be my hero!" ... And so Jerry returned to this area in 32-degree weather ... leaving the sunny 80-degree climate behind. Hassan Yazbek, Parkway Grille gener- al manager, is known by many who remember him from 10 years at the for- mer Topinka's Country House on Telegraph and as a waiter at Jacques ... He was manager of all Marriott restau- rant operations at Metropolitan Airport. Parkway Grille is a seven-day-a-week restaurant ... open for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 6:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m. ... At lunch and breakfast, there is a buf- fet plus the regular menu ... A Sunday buffet is available from 11:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. ... The lounge is open 10:30 a.m.- midnight Then like a chameleon, Parkway Grille becomes one of the finest upscale dining restaurants in these parts. You won't find too many places that serve a better crab and shrimp cake ... which can be gotten both as an appetiz- er and an entree ... with its wonderful consistency that incorporates a blend of red, green and yellow peppers, scallions, shrimp and crabmeat ... And if you're into soup, there are few better than the lobster corn chowder which has a taste creation that stands in line for none other. Jerry's ahi tuna is somewhat on the order of smoked salmon ... Very thin, raw tuna carpaccio not seen on too many menus. His kitchen staff, including sous chef Carlos Rodriquez, is very innovative and creative ... So much so that if ingre- dients are in the house, it can ... and will ... make whatever guests desire. Very much requested dishes like din- ner winners Lake Superior whitefish and Atlantic salmon are prepared in many different ways ... among them the favorites of just plain broiled whitefish and poached or grilled salmon. The delicious pastries are homemade at Parkway Grille ... by its own pastry chef ... Patricia 'very, whose career start- ed out in nursing but took a turn the gourmet cuisine route in her lavish preparations that include a very fie and elegant white chocolate cherry bread pudding that will be featured in an SUNDAY, MAY 13 • • • • • • (All Day) Hommus • Sageki Scordalia Tarmasalada Grape Leaves Chicken Meatballs Peel & Eat Shrim SALADS (All Day) • • • • • IMPORTED & DOMESTIC CHEESES (All Day) • Cheddar • Muenster • Swiss • American • Havarti with Dill • And More! .
