I’m doing something I’ve never done (except for the Lou’s Sunday Palate Cleanser series) on this series and I don’t know if I’ve ever done it in the close to 14 years I’ve been doing this blog: I’m going back to the same place I went to last week, The Dirty Bird Chicken Co.
Here’s what’s going on, last week I went there, but I hadn’t looked at the menu in advance. I ordered a meal and looked at the online menu later and realized I ordered all the wrong things for my particular taste palate. The meal was okay, but I thought it could’ve been better, so let’s go back and give The Dirty Bird Chicken Co. a second chance!

The Sunday Steering Wheel Meal - This Week: A Second Stop At The Dirty Bird Chicken Co.
Okay, we’re back for a second Sunday Steering Wheel Meal at the Dirty Bird Chicken Co. I love their sign up there!
I picked up this week’s order at the front counter and took a shot of the cozy dining room off to the side.
Back to the MBIP Mobile where the radio is tuned to 102.7 Super Hits and the song currently playing is Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks. I’ve got the fan turned on to one for a little air circulation in here.

The Sunday Steering Wheel Meal
Okay, we’ll set up the steering wheel tray for this week’s Sunday Steering Wheel Meal and we’re good to go!
There’s this week’s food order and now it’s all set up and we’re all set for this week’s Sunday Steering Wheel Meal!

The Drink
Last week I foolishly ordered a bottle of water and then when I looked at the online menu, I saw that one of their specialties is what they call, “Hand Spun Shakes.” So this week I ordered the Salted Caramel Shake and it was a sweet and rich treat!
It had such a sweet and delicious flavor of caramel with a slight saltiness and this was one of the best milkshakes I’ve ever had!
We’re off to a fabulous sweet start to this week’s meal!

Course Number One: The Side Dish
They have homemade Mac & Cheese as both an entree and as a side dish. I got the side dish and it was a tasty rich and creamy treat!
We are definitely on the right track this week!
——
Course Number Two: The Main Dish
This week I ordered the Nashville Heat Chicken Sandwich. Let’s check it out!
This is a fried chicken breast topped with cole slaw, pickes and their housemade comeback sauce.
Okay, this is definitely the sandwich for me! It’s grilled to perfection, crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside.
The comeback sauce has just the right amount of heat and spicy flavor and the bun is bakery fresh. The crisp cole slaw complements the sandwich perfectly!
If you like spicy with a little heat, this is the chicken sandwich to order!

Course Number Three: The Dessert
I really enjoyed the Fried Oreos I got last week and almost ordered them again, but I decided to try something else and I got an order of the Funnel Fries and I am so glad I ordered these!
They were even better than the Fried Oreos! These are French Fries covered in a sweet sauce, drizzled with melted chocolate and then dusted with powdered sugar. This is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!
I’m glad I came back and gave the Dirty Bird Chcken Co. a second chance! This meal suited my tastebuds much better.
Both weeks show that this place has something for everyone and I definitely recommend you try it out!
Once again, I forgot the rear-view mirror shot, so let me just take this time to remind everyone, chickens don’t have hands!
As I mentioned last week, you can trust me on this, I did my research!
