Birdie G’s, a Santa Monica, Calif., restaurant from local hospitality group Rustic Canyon Family, debuted Friday. With six-time James Beard award-nominated chef and owner Jeremy Fox at the helm, the new dining destination, named after Fox’s daughter Birdie and grandmother Gladys, offers a menu of family recipes rooted in European tradition but evolved to American regional tastes and ingredients over the course of generations.
One menu item is the Hangtown Brei — a mashup of a Hangtown fry, an egg dish popularized during the California Gold Rush, and matzo brei. It features scrambled eggs with matzo, grilled pork belly, fried Pacific oysters and a spicy hollandaise sauce.
