Born and raised in the Midwest, McCormick grew up in the food industry. His father was in food sales and McCormick was raised working in restaurants. He caught "the bug" early and never left. McCormick honed his chops at some of the country's top restaurants after his graduation from The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago's Le Cordon Bleu.
Of note, is Chicago's James Beard Foundation nominee, "mk: the restaurant" where he was Chef de Tournant from 2006-2007. After his time at mk, McCormick moved to St. Louis in 2008 where he was the Chef de Cuisine at the famed "Larry Forgione's An American Place". While here, the restaurant was a two time AAA Four Diamond Recipient. He was also named a "Chef to Watch" by famed food writer Anne E. McBride via her Pots and Plumes publication. In 2010, McCormick made Atlanta his home where he was recruited to be a part of the team at nationally recognized TWO urban licks, a recipient of Conde Nast Traveler's "Hot List", Bon Appetit's "Hot 50 Tables" and one of Rachael Ray's "favorite restaurants" in the country.
