A charred but cheerful veteran of the restaurant industry, our host Royce Burke sits -or stands- for conversations with a swath of individuals from all walks and professions. Few subjects are taboo, many rocks overturned. Our brave and tenacious friend is at the heart of it, trying to make sense of his life and the lives of his surprisingly honest and delightful guests, and looking for an answer to the eternal question: What does it all mean? And why does it have to mean something?
