Michael Ponzio is executive chef of the Union League Club in Chicago. Michael fell in love with the traditional culinary experience of Italian dining at a very young age. Chef Ponzio, who comes from a large, Italian family, grew up in a suburb just outside Chicago. So naturally, his first inspiration in the kitchen was his grandmother. Cooking became not only his skill, but his passion as well. Michael went on to receive his education in culinary arts at Kendall College in Chicago. When he is not in the kitchen, Michael spends his time with his wife and three children traveling and nurturing his passion for food and wine.
