This week on the Savor Newark Podcast, we sit down with Lynda Molina — Executive Chef & Co-Owner, and the visionary behind Burke’s Tavern.

A Costa Rican-rooted Newarker with deep experience in New York City’s culinary scene, Lynda brought Burke’s Tavern to life during one of the most challenging moments in recent history — the COVID era. What she’s built is more than a restaurant — it’s a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication, where elevated bar food meets intention and craft.

But this episode goes beyond the kitchen.

It’s a story of resilience, reinvention, and the courage to bet on yourself. From her early journey to building something of her own, Lynda reminds us that behind every dish is a deeper story — and hers is one worth hearing.

✨ Flavor. Grit. Vision.
