Building a better BirdieBop: Fort Worth chicken stand adds brunch, burgers next
Sunday Brunch is served at BirdieBop, the new chicken emporium inside a bar at 2000 W. Berry St. near TCU.
And the “birdie” menu of Korean, southern or Nashville-hot chicken will get a new addition soon:
Burgers.
Chef Josh Harmon won “best burger” in Dallas three years ago for his Akaushi burger at now-gone Junction Craft Kitchen.
He plans to bring a limited number — maybe 20 a day on a Saturday — to BirdieBop, his new chicken stand inside The Moon Bar.
“I’m trying some things to make this place different and have fun,” said Harmon, chef at Butler’s Cabinet in the Crockett Row Food Hall and also taking over the restaurant spaces in Dallas’ retro Belmont Hotel.
BirdieBop opened last month inside the reborn Moon in the former Americado space at 2000 W. Berry St.
BirdieBop’s menu is simple, but everything has a chef’s touch.
Most of his daily orders are for nuggets in a variety of flavors or the Nashville hot sandwich, the “Night Ninja.” With slaw and spicy mayo on Texas toast, it’s $10.
The new brunch menu features dishes such as a katsu fried chicken-and-eggs, a chicken and kimchi-yeast waffle, smoked-salmon toast and bread-pudding French toast with peanuts and peanut-butter syrup.
BirdieBop is open for dinner nightly except Monday, and for both brunch and dinner Sundays; 817-688-3002, birdiebop.com.
