In this episode of “At Your Convenience,” CSP Editor Chuck Ulie talks with Ali Beydoun, foodservice director at Chillbox, owned by New Haven, Michigan-based Bazco Oil.

Beydoun talks about the launch of the first quick-service restaurant, BirdBox, launched in November by Chillbox in one of its Warren, Michigan, locations.

“It was definitely one of those, ‘Let’s make it happen,’ Beydoun said on the podcast. “We were all hands on deck and were able to do it in about a month and a half. It’s been launched for a couple of months now, and we’re very happy with the trajectory so far.”

BirdBox sells bone-in fried chicken pieces along with four chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, four sides, a house salad, two appetizers (fried corn ribs and tater tachos) and a burger. There also are strawberry, vanilla and chocolate milkshakes and six sauces.
