the best of everything

By George, 
It’s Sweet 
16!

B

ecause they are listed high among 
America’
s catalogues of neighbor-
hood restaurants, the better ones are 
continually written or told about because of 
their customer-satisfaction dedication.
Having anniversaries of 
length offers an impact on 
receiving customer atten-
tion … Doing business for 
years is important … It is a 
salient factor in the choice 
selections of dining empo-
riums by many advocates of 
family-owned and operated 
restaurants.
On the 16th anniversary of G Georges 
Restaurant, Northwestern Highway, south 
of Orchard Lake Road, West Bloomfield, 
many eyes have been opened with the new 
selections now available on its menu at both 
lunch and dinner.
Appetizer additions of Bang Bang Shrimp 
or spinach and artichoke dip, arugula 
salad and crispy chicken blackberry salad 
among the 15 new items to choose from 
now, Braised Beef Short Ribs, beef liver and 

onions, etc.
Entrees include soup or salad and choice 
of two additional items … potatoes, vegeta-
bles or rice pilaf.
Still available is the big favorite of 
14-ounce prime rib with all its side trim-
mings … $14.95 … Saturdays from 5 p.m.
Being a family-operated restaurant speaks 
for itself … So much attention is given to 
its customers … Zef Palookaj, co-owner 
with George Lucaj, enjoys the presence of 
his mother, Mire, making her delicious 
rice pudding, chocolate cake and big favor-
ite carrot cake … His two sisters, Laura 
and Elizabeth, are servers as needed with 
smiling and courteous ways doing various 
chores and also when working the carry-out 
department.
And being his own executive chef, Zef 
is certain that he and his other kitchen 
help prepare the lunches and dinners with 
complete customer satisfaction … so very 
important in a highly regarded family 
restaurant.
AFTER MANY YEARS of dedicated ser-
vice among the top executive chefs of this 
region, Bill Hall has retired as kitchen head 
at Andiamo West, Telegraph and Maple, 
Bloomfield … New executive chef is Mark 
Casadei, who isn’
t waiting for spring to 
bring a couple of new dishes to the menu… 
A couple of Andiamo firsts, a 14-ounce 

bone-in filet and brick-roasted chicken … 
On the server side, you can no longer buy 
an ad in the Jewish News from our recent 
waitress there, Laurel Swartz, but she will 
bring you a wonderful meal at Andiamo 
West … Laurel has been a waitress at 
Andiamo about three years … and around 
25 years ago was a sales gal at the JN before 
going to TV Channel 50 as a sales executive 
… Big news from the column about Joe 
Vicari with his number of present eateries 
at 23 still in operation … opening a new 
establishment at the former Hotel Statler, 
Washington Boulevard and Grand Circus 
Park … Bistro Statler … has created much 
excitement … Especially when it is also 
the new apartment of Jonathan Holtzman, 
grandson of big Jewish community stalwart, 
the late Joe Holtzman. 
OLDIE BUT GOODIE … Fellow started 
telling his joke. “Two elderly Jews were …
” 
Someone asked, “Why do so many jokes 
begin with Jews?” 
The teller apologized and said, “Two 
elderly Chinese men were going to the syn-
agogue to see their rabbi.
” 
CONGRATS … To Al Winkler on his 
birthday … To Sandy Hermanoff on her 
birthday.
