From Ted: This week’s photo of the week is actually photos of the week and are of Chef David Burke. David is more than just an amazing chef and entrepreneur. He is innovative and whimsical with his food. Chef Burke has restaurants in Las Vegas, Chicago, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. You can go to his website, davidburke.com for more information and locations of each of his restaurants.
I recently had the privilege of photographing Chef Burke at David Burke Townhouse. This New York restaurant showcases his sense of whimsy and playfulness. In order to illustrate this, I chose to photograph him under the blown-glass balloons in the passageway connecting the front and back dining rooms.
The second photograph, showing the chef outside the restaurant on a bench, sandwiched between two women reading his cookbooks is, I think, just plain fun.










Love the humor, bringing a huge smile to my early morning face!! The whimsy in your chef photos series is quite compelling. Keep ‘em coming.
