Tasty Talk luncheon Jan. 31 features Preston & Steve co-host

BRYN MAWR » On Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2018, Yangming Restaurant in Bryn Mawr will host the fifth installment of its well-received Tasty Talks Luncheon Series featuring popular radio personality, Steve Morrison.

Steve Morrison, cohost of WMMR’s “Preston & Steve” morning radio show, spreads positivity and laughter through hilarious telephone interviews, talks with in-studio guests, celebrity impersonations, unusual news stories, and running gags. The popular radio first aired on WMMR in May, 2005, and features Morrison alongside co-host Preston Elliot and some very talented others. But, the show actually originated seven years earlier on Y100 Philadelphia with Preston and Marilyn Russell, both formerly of WDRE Philadelphia. Morrison, at the time a DJ on WDRE’s parent station in New York, joined the cast several months later and the rest is, as they say, history.

The “Preston & Steve” show airs weekdays from 6 to 10:30 a.m. and has led local morning radio ratings since 2006. The show is also streamed live around the world via the WMMR website and is a featured podcast on iTunes.

The Tasty Talks luncheon will begin at 12:30 p.m., featuring a prix fixe meal of hors d’oeuvres, an entrée, and dessert prepared by Yangming’s award-winning chefs. After hors d’oeuvres are served, Morrison will give a special media magnet presentation. Morrison will share personal stories on his journey to becoming one of the top rated morning radio show hosts in the Philadelphia market, as well as his personal passion for helping the community by highlighting worthy local non-profits through his show.

The prix fixe can be purchased ahead for $20, including tax and tip. Walkins will be charged $25 and the prix fixe price does not include the available alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. This concept was conceived by Realtor Michelle Leonard, as well as co-creator Dr. Thanuja Hamilton, MD, who has provided additional community support.

“The Tasty Talks Luncheon Series has been a huge success,” said Yangming owner, Michael Wei. “We are so proud to host these events and welcome the neighborhood into our restaurant. Each month has been a new and eye opening experience for our guests. And we couldn’t be more thankful to Dr. Hamilton and Michelle Leonard for their generous support. These active community advocates seem to know just about everyone who is anyone.”

All profits from Yangming’s “Tasty Talk” on this occasion will be donated to The Mac Fund at the Cat Shack, a non-profit organization founded by Morrison’s wife, Claire in memory of their beloved cat, Mac. Donations to The Mac Fund support the spaying and neutering of stray cats in an effort to reduce overpopulation, with the goal of securing a safe home for every cat.
