New Portrait: Phil Romano

I shot Phil Romano outside the future site of his new development at the foot of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge: Trinity Groves' Restaurant Incubator. This was a very tricky assignment, as the project is actually still in its infancy. It was a pleasure to shoot Phil - creator of Romano's Macaroni Grill, Nick & Sam's and Fuddruckers (where the 6th grade version of this photographer had his first date) - and to hear about all the future residents of the development, including a brewery, a BBQ joint and over a dozen other projects.
