Where are they now?

Following Tru’s huge success, pastry chef Gale Gand and Rick Tramonto—her culinary partner and fellow Best New Chef—started their own company, Cenitare restaurant group, in 2005. Cenitare manages four properties in the Westin on Chicago’s North Shore—Tramonto’s Steak & Seafood, Osteria di Tramonto, RT Lounge and Gale’s Coffee Bar—and plans to expand the restaurants nationally.
