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.
