George Morris has been appointed Executive Chef at Madeline Hotel and Residences
Chef Morris arrived at Madeline Hotel and Residences following tenures as Executive Chef at Beaumont's Eatery in San Diego, and The Truffle Pig in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. His culinary career began at Spiaggia in his native Chicago, working for celebrity chef Tony Mantuano. While at Spiaggia, Chef Morris immersed himself in a world-class culinary environment and sharpened his skills in refined Italian cooking. Ready to broaden his horizons, he then moved to New York City to work under the mentorship of esteemed Chef Zak Pelaccio where he discovered cooking as an all-encompassing form of self-expression. Chef Morris then returned to Chicago to work with Chef Michael Kornick at Mk, Chef Steven Wambach at Epic and at May Street Market. Chef Morris' passion for cooking began early in life, stemming from an interest in food when he started cooking at home at the age of seven. He attended the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, New York, where he earned a bachelor's degree in culinary arts.
