Detroit 
Eats
A 

new restaurant that 
opened a short while 
ago in Boynton Beach, 
Florida, is named Detroit Eats 
... and already 
making favorable 
culinary waves as 
it satisfies the pal-
ates of many.
Located on 
Boynton Beach 
Blvd. West, it has 
spread its pride 
along the areas just short miles 
away like Boca Raton and Delray 
Beach.
More pride among these 

regions is gathered by these 
close-by sectors with opening 
of a restaurant which brings to 
mind a beloved city. 
Two former Detroiters ... 
Dennis and Debbie Silber write 
about “Marc Tocco, whose father, 
Phil Tocco, serviced wholesalers 
at Eastern Market, and Marc’
s 
daughter Ella, opening a great 
new restaurant with all Detroit 
nostalgia at 1313 Boynton Beach 
Blvd., Boynton Beach, and has 
called it Detroit Eats. From the 
moment former Detroiters like 
us walked in, we saw Detroit 
trappings in sports and memo-
rabilia all around. Debbie and I 
had the wonderful opportunity 
of meeting long-time Detroiters 
Marvin and Adria Aronovits 
and Sherwin and Harriet Wilner, 
who have been frequenting 
Detroit Eats for several weeks. 
The entire menu takes you back. 
Starters such as the J.L. Hudson 
Co. Maurice Salad, Detroit Chili, 
Detroit-style deep-dish square 
pizza, Coney Dogs, Greektown 
Gyros and, of course, ending 
with Sanders Hot Fudge Sundae 

made our experience a most 
memorable one. Full meals are 
available. Visit Detroit Eats, meet 
other Detroiters and enjoy great 
back-home food. Seating and full 
meals are now available as is the 
carry-out section. Yes, Detroit 
Eats is a wonderful experience.

WONDERING DEPT ... 
Where barrister supreme Henry 
“Hank” Baskin gets his stay-
young pills.
MAIL DEPT ... From Rachel 
Kapen ... “My son Avi and I went 
to Val’
s Deli in Crosswinds Mall, 
owned by Val Izrailov and Carey 
Gerchak. Many diners seemed 
to know each other, and it was 
almost filled to capacity and very 

satisfied with the varied menu 
and staff. Avi had Val’
s delicious 
hamburger and I the tasty patty 
melt with grilled onion rings.
”
DID YOU KNOW DEPT 
... Did you know that Buddy’
s 
Pizza is not owned anymore by 
the Jacobs family ... The need 
for expansion money was too 
great for son Robert, who took 
over when dad Billy passed on, 
remained as president, and sold 
it to Capital Sprngs and is now 
just an adviser ... Thankfully, the 
new owners didn’
t remove Wes 
Pikula, responsible for the pizza 
variations, who has worked for 
Buddy’
s over 45 years, or Lara 
Radke and others who have 
made Buddy’
s a winner. 
OLDIE BUT GOODIE 
FAVORITE ... “Waiter, this soup 
tastes funny” ... “Then why aren’
t 
you laughing?”
CONGRATS ... To Lila 
Lazarus on her birthday ... To 
Marilyn Schuster on her birth-
day.
