Famous for their innovative use of English mu�ns as burger buns, last year The Bird set up a new restaurant in Mitte. We asked head chef Michael about recent changes, a new smoked meat joint in Prenzlauer Berg & why their burgers taste so damn good! To read it in full (and many others too!) go to ooohberlin.com/INTERVIEWSooohberlin.com/INTERVIEWS

We love your English Mu�ns for burger buns. How did this start? We love your English Mu�ns for burger buns. How did this start? Well one of the reasons is that back when we �rst started the options for good burger buns in Berlin was really, really poor! But it also came down to how weprefer the meat-to-bread ratio, which we and our regulars feel is better with more meat.There are plenty more options nowadays - but we've stuck with what works best for us!

The burgers are great! Yet some think it’s messy - was it a challenge for people to accept?The burgers are great! Yet some think it’s messy - was it a challenge for people to accept?Yes at �rst some customers struggled with it, especially as its unusual in Germany to havea burger like ours. A burger shouldn't be something neat - it should be gooey, delicious and a comforting hunk of meat in your hands. We love it - but you can’t please everyone!

What about your new steaks - what cuts are you o�ering?What about your new steaks - what cuts are you o�ering?Whilst we o�er classic cuts like Ribeyes and Fillets, we're also serving lesser known butoften more delicious cuts like whole Tri-Tips to share, Bavettes and even grilled beef ribs which taste great! We only use top quality USDA prime beef, mostly Black Angus.

And you recently changed your smoked meat operation to Prenzlauer Berg?And you recently changed your smoked meat operation to Prenzlauer Berg?Yeah, we wanted a place to focus solely on BBQ, and so our new place from December is at Oderbergerstrasse 61. If you like smoked meat and cold beer, then we're sure this

will be your kind of joint - come by and say hello!
