The pair, who have known each other for more than three decades, decided on a circular layout for the restaurant to represent the “full circle” moments that brought Morton and Gold together. LeTour will open for dinner on Nov. 17.By the time that day came, she was also ready to let go of everything she’d done in restaurants so far.
LeTour, which means circle in French, will have a ring-shaped dining space to represent the full-circle partnership between Morton and Gold, who began working together in 1990“We really did always want to find a way to work together again,” Morton said. “We’re going big, bold and new.” Chef Debbie Gold prepares sauteed skate wing with toasted almond, brown butter and parsley at the new LeTour restaurant, Nov. 7, 2022, in Evanston.
“There is the old way of thinking about French — it’s heavy, it’s savory, it’s rich,” Morton said. “There are parts of the French cuisine that are this, but there’s also the culture of big on flavor and light on the ingredients, and so we’re really trying to balance the menu out.”
