Hear Steve Morgan talk about his challenging journey from Del Posto and Tribeca Grill in New York City, back to Chicago for an all-star stint at Alinea and now, on the opening team at Formento’s  in Chicago.  Now, at a dining room with over 150 seats, along with private dining, Morgan is returning to a style of dining he feels is more accessible. He waxes poetically about being a true part of a Chicago neighborhood, styles of service and working with customers who might come in several times each week.
