Brandi and Phil Killoran, who formerly owned several Connecticut Ben & Jerry’s franchises, opened the first BIRDCODE restaurant in West Hartford in November 2020 with a menu of chicken sandwiches, tenders and nuggets in five escalating spice levels. They start with the no-heat “country” level progress through mild, medium and hot to the top-level Code Breaker, with an “eat at your own risk” warning.
Sides include fries, mac and cheese and slaw.
The reopening will also introduce several limited-time menu items to the West Hartford location, including Slidekicks chicken sliders, according to the news release.
To celebrate the reopening, country radio station Country 92.5 (WWYZ) will be at the restaurant from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 28. On-air personality Brandon Clay and the station’s promotional team will be on-site with music and giveaways, according to the news release.
BIRDCODE will also offer customers $5 off any order on Halloween, Oct. 31. Customers ordering through the restaurant’s website or app can use the promo code “BOO” at checkout, while those ordering in person will receive the discount at the register.
Aside from its West Hartford location, BIRDCODE has restaurants in Brookfield, Cheshire, Darien, New Britain, Plainville and Vernon, as well as Hanover, Massachusetts, according to the chain’s website.
