2 Birds 1 Chef – Birds to open new location at The Commons
It’s only been half a year since Bangkok Foodies reviewed the new, BIRDS Rotisserie who is now in construction phase of their second location on the second floor of The Commons Thonglor 17.
The announcement came months after Fowl Mouth’s fried chicken stand opens, yet it seems the BIRDS x The Commons partnership have been planned for some time already and respective vendors have very different offerings on their chicken-based menus. We say “the more the merrier”!
Sukhumvit and Thonglor locals will be clucking over this news – given for any city slicker – a trip to Nang Lingchi Road is considered a bit of a hike, but the food is so damn good we are willing to make the journey every once in a while.
Bangkok Foodies gets the exclusive scoop with Chef Jeremy Tourret, who reveals some of the rotisserie goodies they’ll have in store for us.

BKF: Tell us in a few words what BIRDS is about? Your philosophy?
JT: BIRDS is a locally farm to table concept in terms of poultry but also vegetables, dairy products with the all process of our secret recipe to marinate. Our main PRODUCTS is the chicken that offers to Bangkok, the memory that all French people know about this roasted chicken they used to pick up on Sunday morning at the market.

JT: I will be the Chef running the 2 BIRDS soi Amon and Thonglor The commons
BKF: You think people will be willing to come to the second floor of The Commons which is typically quiet? How will it be inviting?

BKF: How big is the new place?
JT: We have a 30m2 space with an open kitchen and a brand new rotisserie that we import from France
BKF: Why did you choose The Commons?
JT: We love the concept about sharing and the opportunity for customers to order different types of food from the different vendors in The Commons
BKF: Do you worry about competition downstairs and how will you be different?
JT: Life is all about competition, we are not worried about the food court downstairs. All the vendors are doing something unique and we are doing as well. The commons and Thonglor is a new market for us so we will adapt our menu based on the request from our customers. In the end the last words are the customer’s and they are the only ones who will decide where and what kind of food quality they’d like to have for their meal.
