Pyprus to Hillcrest Country Club in
Vit. Clemens and then to Pegasus.
Also since the opening is Jim's
brother,
John, his general manager ...

One of the waitstaff, Dimitrios
Patsarikas, came to Pegasus only six
months after it opened and soon
became a much-requested server.
Cooking is done at an open kitchen
in front where the food is prepared by
the head chefs, all from Greece, and
heir staff
There is no secret to good, solid
Greek cooking ... just using olive oil,
lemon, oregano, salt and pepper, and
wine ... the major ingredients along
with herbs ... But quite a difference
when prepared by someone like Chef
Savas.
As example, the Neframia (lamb
loin with bone) marinated and baked
slowly for about four hours ... and
Pegasus Garithes, jumbo shrimp
sauteed in butter with a lemon/garlic
flavor and topped with kasseri cheese.
Its own pastry chef from Greece
makes the tasty loukoumades, feather-
light fritters dipped in hot honey and
sprinkled with cinnamon and wal-
nuts, bougatsa, flaky filo pastry with
custard, etc.
Greektown in Detroit holds the
memories of many ... Pegasus is with-
out much doubt a major part of the
list.

For reservations, call Jeffrey, (248)
626-5702.
DON'T BE SURPRISED if you
see him huddled up by the fire ... It's
quite a change in weather for him,
but Ken Blackshear, new general
manager and maitre d' at Morton's,
The Steakhouse in Southfield, will
grow to love our snow and sleet ...
Yeah, sure! ... The former assistant
manager at Morton's in balmy Miami
took over the Southfield post previ-
ously held by retired Steve Salmon.
WEIGHT WATCHING Dept. ...
At Chinese restaurants, have your
meal prepared in a dry wok rather
than oil ... This will save up to 70
percent of the calories .... At Mexican
restaurants, order a fajita with
steamed chicken, shrimp or vegetables
... use salsa and a small serving of
sour cream for extra flavor.
At Italian restaurants, order the
pasta with a marinara sauce instead of
a cream or cheese sauce ... At pizza
spots, order an all-vegetable pizza
without cheese.
MAIL DEPT. ... From Ami Simms,
quilt expert, author, lecturer and
owner of Mallery Press in Flint ... "I
remember going to Lafayette and
American coney islands in Detroit as
a kid and being totally mystified by
the waiters. They never wrote any-
thing down, fired off the order in
some Greek shorthand I couldn't fig-
ure out (`One-up!,' `Musterolie,'
`amburger') and then 12 seconds later,
there was your food.
"They counted the plates when the
meal was over and you paid by the
number of saucers left on the table. It
was also so strange to have two iden-
tical restaurants next door to each
other, too. I think the rumor was the
owners were brothers? Family feud? I
never knew."
GOOD BUSPERSON Dept. ...
Arthur Yedidayev, son of Manakhim
and Aida Yedidayev, at Sposita's
Italian Restorante, 14 Mile and
Farmington Road, West Bloomfield
... personable, courteous and finished
plates taken away with polite efficien-
cy.
NEW BOOK by double-amputee
chef Dave Fekay is expected to soon
hit the market ... His Mortal Angels
comes out years after Dave's success-
ful Sensuous Kitchen.
CONGRATS ... To kosher caterer
Jeffrey Rosenberg on his 50th birth-
day, celebrated with table for 32 at
Tribute, Farmington Hills.
WAITPERSON TIP ... When
returning a customer's credit card, it's
not a bad idea to do it with a "Thank
you, Mr. (or Ms.) Jones" ... after
making certain to note the party's
name on the plastic. fl
