'Preston And Steve' Co-host Speaking On Main Line Jan 31

Steve Morrison, co-host of WMMR's "Preston & Steve" morning radio show, will head to the Main Line to participate in a lunch speaker series at a local restaurant later this month.

Bryn Mawr's Yangming is continuing its Tasty Talks Luncheon Series by hosting Morrison on Wednesday, Jan. 31.

The lunch will begin at 12:30 p.m., featuring a prix fixe meal of hors d’oeuvres, an entrée, and dessert. After hors d’oeuvres are served, Morrison will give a special media magnet presentation.

He will also share personal stories of 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 meal can be purchased in advance for $20, including tax and tip. Walk-ins will be charged $25 and the prix fixe meal does not include the available alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Tickets can are available by calling 610-527-3200 or online here.

"Preston & Steve" first aired on WMMR in May 2005, and features Morrison and co-host Preston Elliot. But, the show actually originated seven years earlier on Y100 Philadelphia with Preston and Marilyn Russell, both formerly of WDRE Philadelphia.

The "Preston & Steve" show airs weekdays from 6 a.m. 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 Series has been a huge success," Yangming owner Michael Wei said. "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 this "Tasty Talk" will go to 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.

Yangming is located at 1051 Conestoga Road in Bryn Mawr.
