READER MINI REVIEW ... From
Dennis Silber . . . "When my wife, Debbie,
and I recently headed to Naples on the Gulf
Coast of Florida for some more good eating
and catching up with a few old Michigan
friends, we accidentally stumbled upon
what has been described as 'one of the very
best restaurants in Naples: the Turtle Club
on Vanderbilt Beach.
"We started with Oysters (Turtlefellers;
actually their take on Rockefeller, which
were truly wonderful. It was suggested that
we have the fresh-caught Cobia fish with a
mound of asparagus and potatoes, which
proved to be the right choice. Others with
us at the table enjoyed Shrimp and Crab
Napoleon, Sweet and Sour Calamari, and a
variety of fresh veggies.
"Everyone was happy that we had this
excellent dining experience"
QUESTION & ANSWER DEPT. ...
"Who has the best lamb chops in town?" ...
Reva Sandler
[This is strictly a matter of opinion ...
Many say that the best lamb chops are at
Pegasus in Greektown, Detroit, but folks don't
take too much of a chance by having them at
almost any restaurant in Greektown.
GOOD WAITPERSONS DEPT. ... In the
short while that Morels has been reopened
on Northwestern Highway, Farmington
Hills, Deanne Pipski and Stephanie Parrott
have been anointed among the servers
whose customers asked for them on second
visits ... Deanne's and Stephanie's profes-
sionalism and experience show with serv-
ing from the rear to putting coffee on the
right, along with winning smiles, gracious
efficiency and pleasant personalities.
MAIL DEPT. ... "Thank you for remem-
bering about my father doing everything at
his Hy Horenstein Delicatessen except wash
windows. He washed windows, too, and
also the floor." ... Joe Horenstein
ASIDE FROM his many big band gigs
at local affairs and niteries, Simone Vitale
joins his trio on Thursday evenings on the
outside patio of Capital Grille in Troy ...
The group plays background light jazz that
bring smiles of appreciation from Capital's
outdoor customers plus a soft Latin beat
and requested tunes ... Simone isn't with
the group every Thursday because of his
big band commitments, but is there per-
sonally on June 28, July 19, July 26, and
August 9, 16, 23 and 30.
CONGRATS ... To David Weiss on his 70th
birthday ... To Nancy Satofsky on her birth-
day ... To Irwin Tasman on his 27th birthday
... To Avery and Betty Shapiro on their 65th
anniversary ... To Joe and Nancy Hersen
on their 40th anniversary ... To Sandy and
Doreen Turbow on their 35th anniversary. 7
