Yardbird, a 50 Eggs Hospitality Concept and James Beard Award semifinalist, is hosting a “Battle of the Bird” throughout July in which each of its eight locations is featuring their own interpretation of a fried chicken sandwich. The brand is inviting customers to vote for their favorite creation via Yardbirds’ Instagram account (@yardbirdrestaurants) in celebration of National Fried Chicken Day, July 6.
Each location’s offering is wildly different, reiterating a trend we’ve started to notice at Nation’s Restaurant News in which versatile, high-demand chicken sandwiches are iterating well beyond the 2019 Popeyes sandwich launch that ignited a bevy of copycats. Check out Yardbird’s interpretations in our gallery (not pictured, Yardbird Denver: Fried chicken Banh Mi with house pickles, bok choy slaw, duck fat mayo, chili crisp oil, 5-spice fries with kimchi ranch).
