NYC chef David Burke on how economics affect magazine covers

As I sat at David Burke Townhouse waiting to meet with the man himself, I noticed all the whimsical objects surrounding me. Between the Queen of hearts paintings and humpty dumpty figurines that shower the main dining room, I couldn’t help but think that this is how food should be – whimsical, nostalgic, a play on things. No one can accuse David Burke of taking himself too seriously. There’s something comforting about the playfulness that this restaurateur brings to the industry, not simply because he has the means to, but mainly because it’s his passion.
