Two guests have now alerted us to a small comment in the “acknowledgements” at the close of author Erik Larson’s latest book, “The Demon of Unrest.

In the closing section, Mr. Larson writes that a conference attendee he was with treated him to “one of the best meals I’ve had anywhere, at Selden Standard in Detroit.”

There was obviously no need to mention us by name, so that was most kind. Our gratitude to him for recognizing us as one of the best meals in Detroit – and to our guests for letting us know. Operating a restaurant and having kids haven’t left us as much leisure time as we’d like, but we’ll have to check out the book.
