David Burke and Donatella are Doneski -- Psilakis to Blame?

2008_08_dbb.jpgWell, it's hardly a surprise, given Donatella Arpaia's success with Michelin-starred chef Michael Psilakis, but the team behind david burke and & donatella -- Arpaia and David Burke (pictured) -- are parting ways, at least professionally. According to the official release, Burke will run the East 61st Street restaurant (whose name will remain until the end of the year) while Arpaia "leaves to focus on her other restaurant projects." Arpaia and Psilakis have been on a streak with with Kefi, Anthos and Mia Dona. As for Burke, he will also continue to expand outside of New York, and of course, continue his consulting gig with the Hawaiian Tropic Zone.

I went to her restaurant, Mia Dona,expecting it to be as good as the shuttered Dona, but found an unwelcoming diner. David Burke, you're better off without her.
