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.
