Huron Hours: Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m. By Steven Susser F ORSAKING soggy hamburgers, expensive lamb sandwiches, and tedious cafeteria lines, I ventured to Kana Family Restaurant, a Korean kitchen filled with Asian specialties. I had always been intrigued by the steadfastness of this ethnic island - flanked by beer depots, pizza parlors and whizzing automobiles, it constantly challenged me to ignore more philistine endeavors and enter. Perhaps I was dissuaded by the somewhat dingy ex- terior (a problem which has been remedied), or perhaps a simple anxiety about the unknown. When I finally accepted the challenge, I saw a quaint but unin- spiring interior and a noticeable lack of people. Actually; at 11:30 a.m., I was the only customer. After being allowed to choose my own seat, I was left with a menu. The standard fare includes dishes such as Sung Sun Chun (sauteed ocean perch in egg batter), Kana Special Salad (cucumbers, bean sprouts, and spinach, all parboiled and marinated in Korean seasonings), and Chap Tang (shrimp, perch, squid, fish cake, rice cake and vegetables served with Korean vermicelli noodles and hot sauce). This is, of course, only a small sample of the many beguiling dishes of- fered. I finally decided on a cold soup (tomato, apple, watermelon, onion, carrot, cucumber, sea food), Bi Bim Bap (no, not a '50s song but beef spinach and vegetables over rice), and Kim-Chee (a spicy cabbage dish). The charming owner took my order and asked me if it was my first visit. When I said no, she welcomed me, war- ned me about the spicy hot Kim Chee, and departed. Only 10 minutes later, a meal arrive-L at my table that would have dethroned Burger King or sent Olga into a shamed retreat. The soup was a delightful and refreshing mixture of sweet fruit and tangy broth; the Kim-Chee was very hot, but for those spirited souls, a visceral treat. The entree which was served in a large metal bowl, contained beef and vegetables on top of rice and under a fried egg. Everything is served fresh and delicious. To finish the ex- perience, I was given a complimentary cup of ginger tea. My last treat was the surprisingly reasonable bill. I paid under six dollars for an appetizer, soup, entree and drink. If I had ordered only the beef dish, I would have paid only $3.60. This is quite reasonable since all the por- tions are very large. In addition, there is a ten percent student discount, (ex- cept for weekdays between noon and-1 p.m.). Give your palate a treat, eat inexpen- sively and experience a different culture at the Kana Family Restaurant. It is worth it, if only to avoid the golden arches for a single day.

JIL The finer side B OASTING THE TRADEMARK of "panache par excellence," Ann Arbor's culinary elite has ear- ned its outstanding reputation. Founded on excep- tional food, service,-and ambience, the culinary elite deserves the upper echelon in the world of dining. Ann Arbor, a city of variety, maintains a diverse range of culinary stars. Characterized in every in- ternational flavor, cuisine's "finer side" occupies many sides, from continental to oriental. The menus appear as billboards of delicacies and rare treats to surpass palatial expectations. Outstanding service and refined atmosphere add the finishing touches and the culinary elite turn meals into enjoyable events. Whether celebrating a special occasion or indulging in an unusual treat, fine restaurants separate the world of dining from the everyday meal- and patrons become kings and queens for the duration of each gastronomic ex- perience. -Julie Winokur SMALL CHANGE (Francois Truffaut, 1976) Truffaut objectively looks at the world of children in a French village, observing both the good and the bad.
