Carolyn herself is a former Traffic
Jam server, waiting tables from 1984-
91 ... as did her sister Heidi in the
1970s, and another sister Jennifer
1989-92 ... Their brother Paul worked
at the restaurant from 1994-2000.
Traffic Jam & Snug is open seven
days a week, Monday-Thursday, 11-
11; Friday, 11-midnight; Saturday,
noon-midnight; Sunday, noon-8.
Within the 60 stained-glass win-
dowed 20,000 square-feet restaurant ...
that includes seating for 220 in three
rooms (plus a balcony for 30 more and
15 bar stools) and spacious well-kept
areas for the kitchen, bakery, dairy and
brewery, is a well-remembered land-
mark of good food and efficient serv-
ice.
.
Scott and Carolyn have maintained
just about all the wonderful traditions
that came with their purchase of Traffic
Jam & Snug six years ago ... This has
pleased return customers no end ... as
they say thanks for taking such good
care of their second home.
PUBLIC OPENING was the next
day for the new Sky Deli on Orchard
Lake Road between 13 and 14 Mile
Roads, Farmington Hills ... and many
well-wishers gave owner Peter Berishaj
a surprised-look-of-approval sendoff.
The former Tirami-Su freestanding
site's interior has been altered into
three rooms ... two dining sectors sepa-
rated by a full-scale bar where folks can
eat and drink ... somewhat along the
lines of the onetime setup of Darbys,
but on a much smaller scale.
Too bad there aren't the Darbys
menu standouts like its chicken or
turkey poulette, potted meatballs, etc.
... But then again, one never knows ...
Among the kitchen toilers is Rhonda
Kerner, daughter of the late Bernie
Kerner, stepson and general manager
of Darbys owner Sam Boesky ... Bernie
had put many of those wonderful
recipes in a vault that so far, no one
seems to have been able to find.
Helping Peter to open was another
fine delicatessen name ... with
Seymour Guttman, who assisted par-
ents Rose and Irving Guttman in run-
ning the very popular Irving's Deli,
and also operated his Irving's Deli in
Hamtramck, lending a helping hand.
NEW EVENING LOOK, including
15 additional items, has also been
unveiled by Sposita's Italian Ristorante
on 14 Mile between Orchard Lake and
Farmington roads in West Bloomfield
... as it embarks on a rare lunchtime
presentation.
Beginning Friday, April 1, from 11
a.m., Sposita's will be open for lunch
only one day a week (just Fridays) with

lower prices and added dishes ...
Dinners continue on their regular six-
day schedule from Tuesdays through
Sundays.
MAIL DEPT. ... "I recently noticed
in your column's Mail Dept. an article
about the old Star Bakery that is down
here from Detroit. I happen to be
vacationing in Delray Beach this win-
ter so I thought I would send you a
picture of the famous bakery. It also
has a sit-down restaurant next to the
bakery and serves a variety of bagels.
According to New Yorkers who come
to Florida, if the bagels aren't from
New York, they are not considered
bagels." ... Jerry Light.
IT'LL BE THE night before
Passover begins and prior to sundown
... for the big Pre-Passover Peking
Kosher Kafe by Caterer Jeffrey Rosen-
berg and Adat Shalom Synagogue on
on Hills,
Middlebelt in Farmington
Friday, April 22, 6:30 to 7:30 ... The
sundown Sabbath begins that evening
at 8:04 and Kafe attendees who wish
can also stay for Sabbath services ...
Seven stations will be loaded with
kosher Chinese dishes and another
with beverages and juice bar ... $18
adults and $8 youngsters 12 and under.
NEVER BEFORE in this region a
major shindig held inside one of the
airplane hangers at Detroit Metro
Airport ... as the first-time endeavor
aims to join ranks among the biggest
fund-raising events of the year ... It will
be the awaited-by-many black tie
Aviator's Ball, May 14, to help raise
money for the wonderful work done
by Ronald McDonald House in
Detroit and Ann Arbor in making
families comfortable while their chil-
dren are receiving treatment at area
hospitals.

WHERE THEY ARE DEPT...

Jacques Haddad, owner of the former
Jacques Mediterranean in Troy ... So
much ahead of its time with fine dining
Lebanese, French, Italian, Greek and
American cuisine excellently prepared
and presented ... Jacques is president of
the Cats Co., computer applications
and technical services, in Troy.

Q. "We're going to Las Vegas and are

told not to miss Larry Jones. Do you
know anything about him?" ... Martin
and Viv Kohn.
A. Yes, he is a good impressionist. I
saw him at the Plaza in downtown Las
Vegas. If he is still there, find out if the
deal still goes to see Larry Jones and get
a drink too, both for just $7.95.
