MC/V. $-$$. “Performers are drawn to this industry,” says Lyn Burg, one of several artists who wait tables at Marché Restaurant. “It’s a performance every night.” A Eugene native and a UO Theater grad, Burg is known as a “triple-threat per- former” — a singer, dancer and actor. Her first CD as a jazz vocalist, Good Morning, Heartache, came out in January. (Catch the Lyn Burg Quartet at Café Paradiso Friday, July 16.) She played Miss Adelaide in last summer’s OFAM musical, Guys and Dolls — this year she serves as assistant choreographer for My Fair Lady. She teaches dance at the DAC and the Eugene School of Ballet. “It’s hard when you’re a mom, too,” says the mother of two. “I try to do one theatre show a year — if I don’t, I feel itchy.” Burg started restaurant work at age 15 as a dishwasher at Casa Toltec. She served food at Poppi’s, then at Anatolia, and for 10 years at the Excelsior. “I’ve been here for six years in September,” she notes. “What I love about Marché is that it’s a seasonal restaurant — we serve local meat, local fish and local organic vegetables. I’ve been counting the months until I could have a tomato salad!” — Paul Neevel CHINA DELIGHT 453 Willamette St. 345-3239. Fax: 345-2713.
