: @birdman.vic
It’s not exactly the newest addition to Victoria’s food scene, but you may not be aware this hidden gem exists. A late-night pop-up inside the beloved local restaurant Wind Cries Mary, Birdman serves towering fried chicken sandwiches for takeout and delivery. You can order from Birdman’s small but compelling menu and dine inside Wind Cries Mary from 11pm to 1am every night, or order takeout every day starting at 4pm. You can order for pickup via the website or delivery via Skip the Dishes.
Favourites include Birdman’s spotlight signature fried chicken sandwiches like the CBC: crispy chicken, bacon and onion jam, cheese sauce, zesty slaw, pickles, and Birdman sauce. Or the popular Hot Chick Summer: crispy chicken, pineapple hot sauce, cheese sauce, pickles, bacon and onion jam, zesty slaw, and Birdman sauce. With sides including fries, mac ‘n’ cheese, zesty slaw, and dirty fries, this burger joint swings at any fried chicken craving—and oh, how good they are!
