GRAND OPENING

Seating is for about 180 in the dining
room and 100 on the outside patio ...
with hours Monday-Thursday, 11-10;
Friday and Saturday, 11-11; Sunday,
11-9.
Its executive chef, Tony Picinotti, is a
graduate of the Pennsylvania Culinary
Institute in Pittsburgh ... and
Zingerman's Roadhouse is owned by
Zingerman's Deli owners Paul Saginaw
and Ari Weinsweig ... with Alex Young
managing partner and chef
The recipes are mainly Tony's ... with
a pot roast that his mother, Colleen
Picinotti, used to make at home for him
and Tony's father ... It is on the menu as
Mrs. Picinotti's Pittsburgh Pot Roast ...
a true All-American dish in keeping
with- the Zingerman's Roadhouse dining
motif.
AMERICA'S FOOD and wine writ-
ers agree that kosher wines have come a
long way from the days of the sweet
Manischewitz (and Kedem) wines usu-
ally associated with the Passover seder,
writes Kosher Today in its June magazine
... "There are more high-quality
[kosher] wines available than ever
before," it says.
This is particularly true at Vineyards
in Farmington Hills ... now that Simon
Rotberg, kosher wine know-it gent is on
board heading its growing wine sector
... Look for it to become a huge leader
in the rabbinical-certified vino field ...
with probably one of the largest selec-
tions in Michigan.
TWO YEARS SINCE closing ...
and 18 months of waiting to open ...
This is the former Hoa Kow
Cantonese restaurant owned by Gee
Woo in Oak Park and Crosswind's
Plaza ... that has opened under another
name ... Hoa Hoa Inn on Novi Road,
in the strip center south of 14 Mile
Road.
Still the same successful dishes as the
formerly named Hoa Kow Inn ... with
added emphasis on Asian Cuisine,
including five different selections of let-
tuce wraps ... In the kitchen are a chef
from its original location in Oak Park ...
and another from the Crosswinds spot.
The newly-named Hoa Hoa Inn is
open seven days, Monday-Saturday, 11-
11; Sunday, 2-10 ... lunch and dinner.
SHE LOOKS 16 OR LESS and peo-
ple will gladly bet that she is ... Erin
Harris, 19-year-old daughter of corn-
munity-ites Debi and Hartley Harris,
may be small in stature but big in cus-
tomer pleasing.
The cute diminutive waitress at
Giorgio's Gourmet Diner in West
Bloomfield's Sugar Tree Plaza is a new-

corner to the trade ... but learning fast
with much assistance from the other
good gals there- ... Her pretty smile
goes with a very personable gracious-
ness and efficiency.
The University of Michigan student
returns to school in September as a
sophomore ... for continuation of her
nursing training ... Erin will someday
also make a lot of patients feel better.
BRITNEY SPEARS is eating kosher,
says Kosher Today ... She has given up
the Atkin's diet and taken up kosher
food, following in the footsteps of
Madonna and Winona Ryder who also
stick to kosher food, it writes ... And
adds, "She just feels so much healthier."
MAKE IT ANOTHER 36 first-place
finishes for Dee Shapiro ... whose recent
Texas jaunt to the Dance Houston com-
petition made her and partner Mark
Brock easy bests in the ballroom terpsi
tourney.
They also added three seconds along
with being runner-up in the tourna-
ment's big Rhythm Championship
Dance variety that took in swing, cha-
cha, rumba, mambo, etc.
Over 2,000 dancers competed in the
Houston competition.
