"A meal at The Bird is all about fried chicken, which is why you’ll see it in salad, biscuit, and sandwich form, and even “naked” (aka just a fried thigh with slaw on the side). Go with the sandwich, and prepare to get messy—we’re pretty sure this place single handedly keeps the world’s napkin suppliers in business. The meat drips with spicy, bright red juices you’ll lick off your hand, and refreshing apple slaw spills out from the squishy bun. When you’re done making your way through the handheld behemoth, get some just-sweet-enough apple fritters for dessert." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
