It’s not often you get to see what happens when four acclaimed chefs share the same kitchen. To my luck, I experienced that firsthand last month at the Southern Grace dinner hosted at Little Bird by Chef Bill Briand.
This was my second visit to Little Bird, and it felt just as warm as the first. Set in a cream-colored house just off the main street of downtown Fairhope, the interior visually stuns from every direction. Faded, creased recipes from Chef Bill’s mother line the walls, set against bright floral wallpaper and framed birds of every variety. And then there’s the staff, inviting and generous in a way that makes you feel less like a guest and more like you’ve been invited into their home.
But on this night, the story at the heart of Little Bird wasn’t just found in the walls—it was unfolding in the kitchen.
