Their stylish menus are enticing enough to attract a loyal clientele of discriminating diners, but no matter how expert they are, restaurant people like to take a break from their own kitchens for a taste of someone else’s cooking.

Bonnie Fishman teaches cooking, along with producing great entrees, cakes, and cookies at her Bonnie’s Kitchen in Bloomfield Township. “Working in food service all of my life, I never sit down to eat, only grabbing little bites all day,” she says. “So small plates appeal to me, particularly the selection at Vinology in Ann Arbor.” She shows her international side with such favorites as the fried shrimp appetizer at Sy Thai in Birmingham, the aloo paratha at Shalimar in Farmington Hills, the udon noodle bowl at Little Tree in Royal Oak, and the pommes frites at Bastone, also in Royal Oak. When it comes to pastries, however, she says, “If they’re not from my shop, I’ll pass, unless you offer me a chocolate croissant from The Croissanterie in Marigot on St. Martin — the best in the world.”
