MAIL DEPT ... from David Furstenberg, of Pulte Homes ... "I read your column on Excalibur and your mention of Rascal House. I had heard that rumor as well and, being a huge fan of Rascal House, contacted the owners directly. They confirmed that, unfortunately, they have no plans of opening a restaurant in Detroit. "Have you heard anything about the Cheesecake Factory opening a place here? I have chatted with them over the past couple of years and the restaurant critic at the Free Press tells • me she has also heard that they are looking for a location here. Cheesecake Factory told me 'no com- ment.'" From Barbara and Kurt Levy, for- mer Detroiters now living in the Orlando, Fla., area ... "We look for- ward each week to read your column on line, and we enjoy it so much. We keep searching for a mention of Carl's Chop House on Grand River that was our favorite. The maitre d' was a friend of ours, and we lost touch after leaving Detroit." THINGS MY MOTHER Taught Me Dept ... from Howard Camden ... "My mother taught me about genet- ics. 'You're just like your father!"' OLDIE BUT GOODIE Dept ... In a conservative synagogue, its president was a good businessman but, Jewishly, he was ritually challenged. On a Sabbath holiday, the gabbai (sexton) offered him an aliyah. Panicked, he said, "No, no, no. I can't read the Hebrew blessings. I'll embar- rass myself." The gabbai said, "You HAVE to take some honor, you're the presi- dent!" "Isn't there anything where I don't have to talk?" asked the president. The gabbai thought for a minute and suggested, "How about gelilah?" "What's gelilah?" said the president. "Simple," replied the gabbai, "You just come up after the Torah is lifted and when the cover is put on, you put on the breastplate and the crown and then sit down." Relieved, the president accepted the honor. And so, right after the hagbah (lifting) the president came up, put on the breastplate and the crown and went back to his seat. The gabbai came running over and said, "On the TORAH! On the TORAH!" ❑ P (Your choice of one item) BEEF, CHICKEN, LAMB KABOB, CHICKEN BREAST OR LAMB KAFTA Zia $7,95 .., (good Mon-Thurs) INCLUDES RICE AND SOUP OR SALAD Not good with any other offer. exp. 02/22/02 Dine in or Carry out Gourmet Marketplace Bakery • Catering 6092 W Maple at Farmington Road X34.9 • (248)85 5- DELI(3 3 54) RICE, HOUSE SALAD OR SOUP COUPONS OF THE WEEK MONDAY BITE DELI DELITE r i r SUNDAY SUPER Dine in or Carry out Br ad with pur- chase of 1 lb. of Your Favorite Deli Meat 1 Coupon Per Person.
