ating what was formerly solely a
bagel shop as Matt's Bagel Deli
that recently opened on 14 Mile
and Mound, Warren.
It includes the same New York-
style bagels as previously but
will now also have a delicatessen
counter ... Presently only with
counter and carryout service,
plans are for it to early next year
become a full-fledged Jewish deli
... Matt's plans are to fashion a
conversion into the delicatessen,
including ample seating within
an already additionally available 2,000
square feet ... Matt is again in a delicates-
sen kitchen and behind its counter ... and
will continue to consult in other phases of
foodservice.
FALL & WINTER personal appearance
lineup for Andiamo Celebrity Showroom
next to the Andiamo Italian restaurant on
14 Mile, between Mound and Van Dyke,
Warren, is a good one ... Especially with
acts like the Temptations, Friday, Nov.
14, the always terrific Scintas, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, Dec. 4-6, and the
wonderful Karen Newman, Sunday, Dec. 7.
GOOD TO SEE THOSE longer tra-
ditional noodles now in the low-fat
chicken soup being served every Sunday
at Georges restaurant on Northwestern
Highway, West Bloomfield ... Too many
eateries use little pasta swirls that are far
from those associated with true Jewish
chicken soup.

this year's Pillars of Excellence awards,
Tuesday, Oct. 28, in the West Bloomfield
Jewish Community Center's Berman
Center for the Performing Arts.
This will be the 30th anniversary of the

down dining will again be back ... Better

OLDIE BUT GOODIE DEPT. ... Three
girls meet at the restaurant. Sarah orders
the specialty soup. The waiter waves his
hand and says, "It's way too spicy. Try the
garden vegetable
"OK:' says Sarah.
"How about you, ma'am?" asks the
waiter turning to Lillian.
"I'll take the poached fish:' she says.
"I don't think you'll like it:' says the
waiter. "It's very bland. Why don't you try
the whitefish with garlic marinade?"
"OK, I'll try that instead:' says Lillian.
"And how about you?" asks the waiter
turning to Betty.
"I don't know. I can't decide says Betty
looking up from the menu. "What do you
recommend?"
"Recommend?" says the waiter with a
surprised look on his face. "Who has time
to recommend stuff smack in the middle
of dinner hour!"
