Andrea E. McHugh Newport Life magazine Anna Burnley’s fondest childhood memory is when she would sneak into the kitchen at the Clarke Cooke House, steal a few mussels, and tie them to a string that she’d submerge in the bay to catch crabs. Back then, she recalls, “you could roam Bowen’s and Bannister’s wharves at even 5 years old and no one was concerned where your parents were.” For most of her life, Anna’s father has been the general manager at the Clarke Cooke House, arguably Newport’s most famed restaurant. “We saw how much hard work my dad put in; how mentally, physically and emotionally demanding it was,” she recalls. Then and there, Anna declared that she would never pursue a career in the restaurant business. All of which makes the fact that she co-owns four local restaurants — including Mission and Winner Winner — all the more ironic.
