I first went there 45 years ago. It was owned by Jack and Rose Bassonetti. Jack was an Italian soldier in World War 2 who was captured and sent to a POW camp in America. He never went home. After the war he married Rose and became a cook in Detroit, saving his money until he opened the Red Devil in the early 1960's. He used all his mothers old recipes and the food was great. Beyond great, really. Still the best Italian I've ever tasted. My parents were regulars and whenever they walked in Rose would tell Jack and Jack would come out of the kitchen to greet them like long lost relatives. He never let them order off the menu, he just went in the back and prepared something that he wanted to make. Man, those days are long gone. Today most of America thinks Italian is the Olive Garden. Jack and Rose have been gone for some time now but they live on as a sterling example of providing a great product and a great experience. It's been 30 years since I ate at Jack and Roses' place but I still remember it as though it was yesterdayhalfbakedmusingsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348080525234946053.post-91428943850030963932010-03-05T07:01:33.159-05:002010-03-05T07:01:33.159-05:00Very well put!

Well said - products are products although some are much better then others - but it is the experience and how you are treated that make the difference!
