GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Dec. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Lost Restaurants of Grand Rapids

Local author, Norma Lewis, will be available to sign copies of book


Grand Rapids restaurants have served up meals and memories since the city’s earliest days. At Bentham’s, one of the first downtown restaurants, customers without money to eat could trade an animal pelt for supper. John Sebaitis trained his German shepherd, Spooky, to serve beer to the patrons at his tavern. And a seventeen-year-old Gerald R. Ford worked part time as a server and dish washer at Bill’s Place. Join Norma Lewis as she explores the history of Grand Rapids’ most beloved eateries and the stories behind them.
