According to its website, the new location will open in fall 2024. The website adds, “At the helm of Thai Bird’s culinary journey is Chef David Gilbert. His credentials include a Best Chef nomination by the James Beard Foundation, Rising Star Chef, and most recently, Certified Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers. Gilbert’s Thai Fried Chicken has received high praise, including accolades from Food & Wine magazine.”
In addition to an assortment of fried chicken dishes, a variety of vegetables, and Thai fruit, the restaurant serves hot mini doughnuts, which reportedly have become a customer favorite.
