T
he ever-growing fast-
food luncheon has made
another big impact on
the home or office market
for those with
microwave ovens
or regular stoves.
They are the
amazing leap of
items like the
constant jump
of White Castle’s
frozen Original
Slider hamburgers … The
family-run business so many
remember as America’s first
hamburger chain since 1921
has made leaps and bounds in
such wonder.
The 100 percent frozen beef
patties that can be gotten in
boxes have been putting up
hard-to-believe numbers in
numerous grocery stores, drug
stores, etc., and are available
both with or without cheese
… Putting the small, two-patty
package for 60 seconds in the
microwave or 30 seconds if
thawed … Another mode is the
stove top for 10 or 12 minutes,
which hurrying needlessly may
take up too much time.
Memories for many are
jogged with each bite as folks
are chawing on their deliciously
once-frozen easy-to-eat White
Castle sliders or others, maybe
with a side of those small
Vlasic Kosher Dill Pickles.
Dr. Alan Silverman recalled
eating four yummies at a time
loaded with sliced pickles,
onions, mustard and ketchup
on Blimpie Burgers from Crazy
Jim’s in Arbor while attending
University of Michigan …
Jackie Kallen used to walk to
Greene’s Hamburgers on 7 Mile
and Schaefer and eat almost an
entire bag full … well almost.
Mickey Bakst, former gen-
eral manager at both Tribute
here and Charleston Grill
in Charleston, S.C., says his
Greene’s Hamburgers on 7
Mile and Livernois were “the
holy grail, and I sure ate a lot
of them!” … PR gent Dennis
Green ate four every time he
went with lots of onions, ketch-
up and mustard … His wife,
Sharon, after school at Vernor
Elementary, made every day a
constant ritual … Sam Bolen
loved the ones he got from
White Castle on Grand River
and Joy Road.
Photojournalist Linda
Solomon also got hers from
Greene’s on 7 Mile and
Schaefer … Hubby barrister
Barry Solomon got everything
but the onions … and like
Linda, loved every bite.
Those succulent little devils
are back in a big way … frozen,
too, and making a huge impact
on a lot of hidden diets.
Speaking of diets, years ago
folks in line at Sam Sandler’s
Sammy’s Deli, like Dick
Litchman at Northgate Deli,
made sure they never com-
plained about being hungry
with his hors d’oeuvres while
they waited in line to be seated.
OLDIE BUT GOODIE …
Three old men are talking
about their aches and bodily
functions … The first man
says, “I wake up at 7 a.m. and it
takes me 20 minutes to tinkle.”
The second man says, “My
case is worse … I get up at 8
and stand there and grunt for
a half-hour before I have any
movement.”
The third man says, “
At 7, I
wee-wee like a horse.”
“So, what’s your problem?”
ask the others.
“I don’t get up until 9.”
CONGRATS … To Rose
Fink Freedman on her 100th
birthday … To Dr. Leonard
Aronovitz on his birthday …
To Allan Hershman on his
70th birthday … To Michelle
Sheridan on her birthday.
