Costco to Host Book Signing for Local Detroit Food Author

DETROIT - Nov. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- The infamous images of Detroit’s crumbling buildings, abandoned homes and weed-choked parks are known worldwide. Seldom shown are the city’s thriving food ways, quietly rebuilding neighborhoods block by block with urban farms, locally made fare, new restaurants and an innovative, homegrown spirit that is attracting entrepreneurs and culinary enthusiasts from across the nation. Old neighborhoods are coming back to life with the smell of simmering soup, the crunch of new pickles and the aroma of all-day barbeque. Magnificent Art Deco clubs and speakeasies painstakingly restored to their former beauty are busy serving great local food. Author Bill Loomis goes behind the graffiti and ruins to explore how the passion for eating well is proving essential to Detroit’s comeback.
