It's been a very busy month for Pretty Bird's Viet Pham — not just a new location and new menu items, but he'll be on TV twice this week!
, where celebrity chef and host Bobby Flay pits him against “The Titans” for a proper fried chicken smackdown.
The Midvale location, he said, has a magenta ceiling that mimics the color of the restaurant’s signature slaw. Only later did they realize that red stimulates hunger. “We chose that color because it was kind of cool, but at the same time it has its purposes,” he said.The choice to open in Midvale, he said, was easy: It’s the midway point between Salt Lake City and Point of the Mountain — where Salt Lake County meets Utah County — so it’s a quick drive for people further south.
For example, Pham said, the restaurant is still waiting for delivery of an ice machine, which isn’t due until October. “That means we’re having to go to Costco each day and we have to buy roughly 14 to 16 bags of ice and we have to manually load it in,” he said. Ken Larsen and Jeff Coombs try the Fried Chicken Sando for the first time at Pretty Bird's newest location in Midvale, Sept. 13, 2022.
Pham said he’ll never budge on quality, but for people looking for smaller or more affordable options, Pretty Bird has two new menu items coming this fall.
