Hotel, Carl's ... Berman's held the edge
because of its great cottage fried potatoes
that were served with the luscious steaks.
Among the best simple dishes of the
French provinces was at Ponchartrain
Wine Cellars on Lamed ... also
acclaimed for its invention of the Cold
Duck wine and champagne combina-
tion.
Among the best places to go for an
after-hours Coney Island were Lafayette,
American and State Coney Islands ...
with Lafayette, owned by Bill Keros,
flanked on one side by American,
owned by brother Gus, and on the
other side, State Coney Island owned by
both.
Few places had a better prime rib than
Carl's Chop House, where owner Carl
Rosenfeld went from the tire business
into the restaurant game when his part-
ner from Cleveland scooted out in the
middle of the night and Carl was left
with their Grand River Chop House ...
which became Carl's.
Best bevy of places to go for food and
entertainment ... was almost anywhere
in Detroit.
