David Burke's restaurant group weighs in on allegations that he groped a Hawaiian Tropic Zone manager: "The allegations targeting Chef David Burke, a consulting chef for Hawaiian Tropic Zone, are without merit. Most significantly, Chef Burke is not a party defendant to the suit. His name appears gratuitously for reasons known only to plaintiffs’ attorneys. Chef Burke focused his limited time at the restaurant on creating menus and ensuring the food preparation was top quality." [Feedbag]
