Chef Matt Horn Shuts Down West Oakland’s Kowbird - Eater SF

"Kowbird was a restaurant in West Oakland known for its hot chicken sandwiches by chef Matt Horn, a James Beard Award finalist. The restaurant served as a 'love letter' to Oakland, showcasing Horn's pitmaster skills through jaw-dropping fried chicken sandwiches. Despite its success, the restaurant faced challenges including building violations, a lawsuit regarding wheelchair accessibility, and lack of city support for small businesses. Kowbird closed after more than three years but plans to relocate." - Paolo Bicchieri
