THINK SPRING WITH work areas, two walk-in coolers, two walk-in freezers, an upstairs area for more storage, etc. It makes some of its own pastries ... and sells homemade cookies by the jar ... oatmeal-raisin, chocolate chip and brownies. Probably one of Steve's Deli's great- est assets is its extreme cleanliness ... Scores by the Oakland County Health Division are usually in the high 90s ... something any restaurant can justly be proud to own. The white stainless steel walls are so clean that they shine with the brilliance of a newly waxed showroom auto. There is much to be said about restaurant cleanliness ... It is one asset that can never be overstated. This has gotten to be somewhat of a trademark at Steve's Deli ... which, along with its excellent food and veter- an staff, will certainly be appreciated horns to blow when it celebrates its ninth anniversary in October. THIRD TIME IN eight years of being judged ... that Cafe Cortina took top honors as "Best Restaurant" ... at the recent Michigan Culinary Food & Wine Extravaganza (MCFWE.)

NO STOPPING Ron Asmar at Vineyards on Northwestern Highway ... Those Maggie's Chocolate Covered Strawberry bouquets that have been cre- ating such a huge sensation ... will now also be made Kosher for Passover ... Sounds like a good novel thing to bring to people's homes on the seder nights. THE ROLE OF Tevye in Fiddler On The Roof at the new Starlight Theater in Waterford's Summit Place Mall on Telegraph and Elizabeth Lake Road ... is being played by Mitch Masters, son of Carole Masters.
