LAKEVIEW—Jim Burke has resurrected Witts, re-opening the bar less than two weeks ago. Burke has worked in the bar industry for nearly 15 years and wanted to open a "Cheers"-esque place, something "comfortable, nice" and "clean;" and he wants "to be known for value." The food menu promises large portions, such as a Southwest Texas brisket "sammich" and "3 Napkin Reuben." [DNAinfo]
