Eating
for Health

G

ood health … one of
our greatest life assets,
leads off everyone’
s wish
for the New Year … is also
emphasized by prominent local
heart doctor and author Dr. Joel
Kahn and his
GreenSpace Café
… that goes into
its fifth year on
West Nine Mile
Road, Ferndale.
The impor-
tance of having
an esteemed doctor owning a
health-happy full-service restau-

rant is no small measure …
The priceless ability to provide
dining counsel on the intake of
elegant plant gourmet food, as is
handled by GreenSpace Café, is a
huge asset.
When family members are
fully trained and involved in the
important selections at the eat-
ery operation, it is even better …
It’
s a tremendous asset that Dr.
Kahn has his wife, Karen, and
son, Daniel, on hand for assis-
tance … Karen is at GreenSpace
Café at least three times a week
to render her talents and handles
all special events … Daniel is
well versed in plant food along
with being there daily … Dr.
Kahn is at the Café five days a
week, assisting wherever and
whenever needed.
No other restaurant owned
in the United States by a heart
doctor is as noted … Dr. Kahn’
s
overseeing of most aspects is
immeasurable.
GreenSpace Café does no
frying, the use of salt or sugar
is carefully monitored … and

among official recognitions, it
also has kosher certification.
The menu features a fine
selection of healthy plant-based
foods … like its best seller, the
accredited Beyond Burger, sold
worldwide, which Dr. Kahn says
is the No. 1 selling grocery store
burger … Also big sellers are
the Black Bean Burgers made
in-house at GreenSpace Café.
Seating is available for 125
plus a bar with 16 stools …
The full menus are available
for lunch, Monday through
Thursday 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m.,
Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.-
10:30 p.m., Sunday, 10 a.m.-
3 p.m.
GreenSpace Café, under the
ownership and strict guidance
of noted heart specialist Dr. Joel
Kahn and his family, indeed is a
superb factor for healthful living.
NEW OPENING this
year in Las Vegas by former
Detroiter brothers Derek and
Greg Stevens, is Circa Resort &
Casino, which will again be filled
with Detroit flavors … Their

present D Hotel & Casino in
Vegas already has an Andiamo
and American Coney Island.
MAIL DEPT. … From Janice
Elbine … “Does Kate Upton eat
only Japanese food in Houston?”
(Hardly. The super model and
hubby, baseball pitcher Justin
Verlander, love their sushi and
sashimi … but also goodies like
those burgers, etc., at Nancy’
s
Hustle Restaurant.)
OLDIE BUT GOODIE …
Joe sees a tailor shop named
Cohen and O’
Reilly and goes in
and tells the typical little Jewish
tailor how impressed he is that
the Irish and Jews, often at each
other’
s throats in the little town,
have come together like this.
The little Jewish man seems
unmoved. “You’
re surprised?” he
asks. “Well, here’
s another sur-
prise for you. I’
m O’
Reilly!”
CONGRATS … To Carla
Schwartz on her birthday … To
Irving Lichterman on his birth-
day … To Herman Kasoff on his
95th birthday.
