Steak house dream team unites for T-Bones

T-Bones Steak House in St. Charles is the darling of Scott Harris and Helmut Schadinger of Francesca's, Jimmy Bannos of Heaven on Seven in Naperville and partner Lisa Mango. While other well-known restaurants have closed this year, this group is following their dream and putting their joint experience to the test.
"They always wanted to do it," says executive chef Laco Seeber, who comes from Francesca's himself. "It was one of their dreams to open a steak house." The location, that of the former Fahrenheit restaurant, which was open but a few months, was the incentive for taking the plunge now. It became available in April, saving the restaurateurs the trouble and expense of installing a kitchen and dining room in a new space. A few minor decor changes have been made.
