What is the story behind your business' name?

Pulled from the Benjamin Franklin quote, "The "respectable bird" phrase, popularized by Benjamin Franklin, refers to the American turkey, which he considered a more respectable and original native bird compared to the bald eagle." But, we use the term by showing that we are better than all those other fried chicken companies

Forget food trends and bring your guests the good stuff that never goes out of style! In South San Francisco there's a respectable food truck called Respectable Bird that's servin' ridiculously delicious, always fresh, specially spiced dishes. This is fried chicken that everyone can enjoy without the gimmicks, but with all the good flavors.

They call their culinary masterpieces “fried chicken wizardry” and boy do we agree. Owners Justin, Jason, Ronnie, and Christian have hit the nail on the head (with respect of course). Whether you're lookin' to serve your coworkers, friends, or family fried-up dark meat with cornbread muffins, fried chicken tenders with waffle fries, or vegan (fava bean) fried tenders dipped in their delectable sauces, everything is spiced to perfection, crispy, and amazingly light. Grab their fried chicken as a sandwich set on a potato bun and smothered in house sauce, pickles, and lettuce. Get everything done either original or spicy (we love us some spice), and don't miss out on the homemade House, Spicy House, Habanero, or Ranch sauces.

This amazingly affordable hotspot is also sharing some sugary confections we're kvelling over! On top of cornbread muffins you can get your guests packs of churros with burnt caramel or a smooth ube mochi cake unlike anything else you've had of late. Respect your friend's bellies by booking Respectable Bird for your next bash!
