"I learned that Birdsong, from Christopher Bleidorn and Aarti Shetty, is a San Francisco restaurant with two Michelin stars whose live-fire cooking the Michelin review described as having a sense of whimsy. It was at Birdsong that the highly Instagrammable chicken sandwich with a claw took flight during the pandemic; Bleidorn told Eater SF the sandwich had “taken on a life of its own” after a walk-in full of whole chickens inspired serving a sandwich with a claw, and he argued people shouldn’t be scared of a sandwich with a claw but should be wary of industrial-grade chickens raised inhumanely." - Robert Sietsema
