Greg and Dan talk with chef and restaurateur David Burke about his impressive career and the passion that has driven him from his early days in the culinary world to becoming one of the country’s most recognized chefs. He reflects on his beginnings, the creativity behind his cooking, and some of the major accomplishments that have built his résumé. He also previews his upcoming “Beat Burke” culinary competition at Mt. Hawley Country Club in Peoria this October, where Burke will go head-to-head with a local chef in a live, friendly cooking showdown. The Beat Burke format combines dinner and entertainment as chefs create dishes in front of guests, putting their creativity, flavors and presentation to the test.
