Bird Bird Biscuit will be opening their first ever location on Manor Rd. on Thursday, June 28, with a focus on fast casual and creative biscuit sandwiches created by co-founder and Chef Brian Batch, and co-owner of Thunderbird Coffee, Ryan McElroy.
Bird Bird Biscuit is the creation of Batch’s long-time obsession with sandwiches and his tours around the country with his band Alpha Rev. Often times, a quick sandwich was the only way to explore a city’s food culture. After quitting his band and starting full-time at Thunderbird Coffee, he made constant improvements to the panini menu, and eventually became the general manager of both Thunderbird locations and helped them establish a solid foundation with in the local community.
With the support of many Austin chef and restaurant owner friends, and a certain unnamed Austin Biscuit Whisperer, he has perfected a biscuit designed specifically for sandwiches, which will be served exclusively at Bird Bird Biscuit. Taking a few cues from the classic biscuit sandwiches of Nashville and the freshness of Los Angeles sandwich culture, Batch built a menu that is meant as a love letter to biscuits and to the Manor Road neighborhood.
“We are doing our very best every day to create a little biscuit sanctuary for Austin where you can come, have an amazing experience, and leave loving life,” says Batch.
Available for breakfast or lunch, the biscuit sandwich selection includes the Bird Bird Bacon (crispy bacon, organic egg over medium, cheddar, bacon-infused chipotle mayo) and vegetarian option Lush Life (made with fried eggplant, house-made pickled onions, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, garlic tomato jam).
Bird Bird will also offer other specialities like, Dough-Doughs (biscuit doughnut holes tossed in cinnamon, sugar and a touch of salt), biscuits and jam, and sides like hash browns and house-pickled items. Beverages include Wild Gift Coffee, Mill-King milk, fresh orange juice and Maine Root soda.
Bird Bird Biscuit opens on June 28th and will be open Tuesday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
