Gulf Coast Media Spotlights the Opening of little bird in Fairhope


We’re excited to share another piece of local coverage about little bird—this time from Gulf Coast Media, which offers a look at our June 4 opening in the heart of downtown Fairhope.

The article highlights Executive Chef Bill Briand, a five-time James Beard Award nominee, and his decision to return to the Alabama Gulf Coast to lead this new concept. It shares the story behind the restaurant’s name, the legacy of Chef Briand’s mother Virginia Eileen, and the vision behind creating a space that brings together Southern flavors, elegant comfort, and personal storytelling.

“I wanted to create a place that reflects the things I care about—family, hospitality, and food that feels like home,” Chef Briand says in the article.

We’re honored to be featured in this community-centered publication and grateful for the warm welcome from so many across the Eastern Shore.
