Woodpecker is a new restaurant from restaurateur and chef David Burke in NoMad that serves up unique takes on classic Italian-American cuisine. In this episode of the excellent Fork Yeah series from our friends at Thrillist, see some of the more unique items, such as a cricket-topped pizza and a lobster calzone.
The newest notch on David Burke’s belt, Woodpecker by David Burke focuses on wood-fired cuisine. With two massive ovens, Burke cranks out pizzas, calzones, and classic American fare with his signature outside-the-box approach. You’ll find pizzas topped with crickets, calzones overflowing with lobster meat, and, of course, Burke classics like clothesline bacon.
