Chef David Kirkland has always created and appreciated art, from his early days as a professional DJ in San Francisco to 10 years serving farm-to-table brunch fare at Cafe Osage.
In 2017, he opened Turn at the intersection of Grand Center and Midtown Alley, where he showcases his spin on health-focused comfort food and his extensive record collection on a rotating wall display.
