THANK YOU FOR MAKING US
THE FINEST GREEK RESTAURANT
IN MICHIGAN!

owned Courtyard By Marriott.
THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE To
Know Dept ... With Fourth of July
already upon us ... and outdoor barbe-
cuing on a lot of minds ... a question
... were hot dogs ever made of dogs? ...
Nah, but when they were first intro-
duced, people wouldn't touch hot dogs
for fear that they were made of dogs.
Question, how'd the hot dog get its
strange name? ... Answer, the hot dog
was originally called "frankfurter" after'
Frankfurt, Germany, its birthplace ...
But from the beginning people called
it "dachshund sausage," because it
looked like the long, thin dog.
In the United States, the German
sausage was especially popular with
New York baseball fans, who bought
the newfangled sandwich from Polo
Grounds vendors who sold them by
yelling, "Get your dachshund sausages
while they're red hot ... Ted Dorgan, a
leading cartoonist, thought these ven-
dors were so comical that he decided
to lampoon them ... In his cartoon,
they were shown selling REAL dachs-
hund, dogs in a roll, yelling "Get your
hot dogs!" at each other ... The name
stuck ... and the rest is history.
WHERE THEY ARE Dept. ...
David Burke, former sales manager at
Tamaroff Motors, is now in the mort-
gage business with Team Lending
Concepts in Farmington Hills ... He
was one of only five employees in
Denver ... that now numbers over 100
... with offices in Michigan, Colorado
and Arizona.
MAIL DEPT ... from Fenton Jones ...
"Being at the pre-opening of Sweet
Georgia Brown on Brush was quite a
pleasure. Even a red carpet was spread out
for the guests and the food tasted great."
PET PEEVES Dept. ... Dirty glasses
at restaurants reminding one of the
Lindy's joke about the gent in a group
who demanded that his drink be served
in a clean glass ... and the waitperson
bringing the drinks asking, "Which
one gets the clean glass?" ... Waitpeople
who ask, "What are you guys having?"
to men with or without female com-
panions ... Waiting for your check
almost as long as it took to eat.
WHAT PEOPLE Talk About Dept.
... The turnabout for the better of Jax
Kar Wash now that the Milens have it
back The homemade meatloaf at Ann
Sayles Dining Room ... Authentic food
from Nepal at Everest Express ... Planked
white fish at E.G. Nick's ... Places that
give you potato soup with a few pieces of
clams ... and call it clam chowder.
The sudden surge of Thai restaurants
... or rather restaurants who serve food
with Thai names Wonderment as to
