Family-run Moe’s
On 10 features
fresh food &
friendly service.

In most instances, there is
little truth to the thought that
anyone can operate a family res-
taurant … It takes a special kind
of person or people.
Among the better ones in
this region is Moe’s On 10
Family Dining, 10 Mile, west of
Haggerty, Novi, where family
togetherness is exemplified … It
is a family-operated restaurant
where Moe, his wife, Debra, and
son Michael work daily … At
one point, all their five children
were involved … No matter what
time or day, there is always a
Leon present and a kids’ menu
is available upon request.
Meatloaf is often obtainable
on specials … the
sauces, bread and
delicious soups are
also all homemade
… Moe’s own chicken
soup always draws
huge raves … Also
featured are fresh
fish, such as perch,
salmon, walleye, etc.
… And prime rib is
presented on Friday
and Saturday nights
… Brunch is both
Saturday and Sunday,
8 a.m. to 2 p.m.;
adults, $12.99, young-
sters 10 and under,
$7.50.
Among Moe Leon’s
ways of giving thanks
to America are the
Moe Leon free complete turkey

dinners he gives away every year
the day before Thanksgiving, 3
to 8 p.m. … Any age … No charge
… No tipping … Moe came here
in the 1970s from Syria and has
never forgotten … This is his
way of giving back.
Great news, too, for many
Moe’s On Ten stalwarts is com-
pletion of construction on 10
Mile that might have kept some
folks away.
Moe’s on 10 is a rarity … Fresh
homemade food, not frozen and
thawed … run and operated by
a family … with an upscale feel
and low prices … Where a family
can enjoy each other’s company
… get pleasure from the food …
and cleanliness … True gold!
REARVIEW MIRROR … It
was many years ago that Las
Vegas had great acts instead of
today’s numerous production
shows … Former Detroiters who
had moved there seemed to be
everywhere … working at the
casino-hotels and ready to help
out with suggestions and comps
for good eating and seeing
shows galore.
It was difficult to go from
hotel to hotel casino without
seeing a familiar face from
Detroit … “Chappie” Shapiro,

SHE HAD BEEN there only
three weeks and owners of
Pepino’s restaurant on Orchard
Lake Road in Sylvan Lake, Kathy
Morley and Carol Carson, could
already note that the new wait-
person would be a fine asset to
their wonderful service team
… Smiling, efficient and knowl-
edgeable in customer satisfac-
tion, Dita Gjokaj had worked
at three Birmingham eateries
… Townhouse, Mitchell’s Fish

Market and Cameron’s Steak
House and welcomed a regional
change … Dita fits in very well
with one of this sector’s most
outstanding staffs of waitper-
sons constantly lauded for their
serving of Pepino’s excellent
food.
OLDIE QUICKIES … Two fel-
lows are at a golf course when
the gorgeous girl passes by. One
says, “Take away her lips, take
away her hair, take away her fig-
ure and what has she got?” “My
wife,” groaned the second golfer
… A diplomat is a man who can
convince his wife that she does
not look good in a fur coat … …
She had such buck teeth that
every time she kissed a fellow
she combed his mustache at
the same time … “Would you
like your coffee black,” asked the
waiter. “What other colors do
you have?” asked the customer
… “I can’t eat this chicken,” said
the diner. “Call the manager.”
The waiter said, “It’s no use. He
won’t eat it either.”
CONGRATS … To Marilyn
Frommer on her birthday … To
Morris Margulies on his birth-
day … To Denise Dunn on her
birthday … To Gary Tringale on
his birthday … To Jeff Weinger
on his birthday … To Bob and
Elaine Wander on their 63rd
anniversary. •
