We are so appreciative for all that he gave to our industry, we mourn his loss and extend our deepest sympathies to his family.

🧵The DRLA has lost one of its founding members, Detroit’s culinary scene lost an important leader in its renaissance, and we have all lost a generous soul who worked so hard to make Detroit a better, fairer place to be.

It's no secret that Detroit has a reputation... for attracting tourism. @visitdetroit says there were 14 million visitors to the area in 2013, and that number jumped to 19 million visitors in 2016.
