San Diego sports bar Dirty Birds brings best wings to Plano opening

Dirty Birds award-winning wings

Dirty Birds

There's a restaurant doing award-winning wings that just flew in from California. Called Dirty Birds Sports Bar & Grill, it's a small chain with five locations in San Diego, making its Texas debut at 4021 Preston Rd. B618 in Plano.

Dirty Birds first opened its doors in San Diego in 2008 and soon became a staple that earned national praise for its wings. Everyone who makes wings thinks theirs are the best, but Dirty Birds has won awards such as "best wings in the U.S." by Yahoo Sports and TheDailyMeal.com.

Wings are their centerpiece, and can be ordered with an unprecedented 37 sauces, ranging from standards like lemon pepper, teriyaki, and BBQ, to unique variations like maple chipotle BBQ and "dirty blue" — a blend of hot sauce and blue cheese dressing.

That said, they're not just a wing joint, but more of a sports bar-restaurant in which wings are the centerpiece on a broader menu that also includes salads, burgers, and sandwiches, often featuring chicken such as a blackened chicken club and a Nashville hot chicken sandwich.

There are classic bar-food snacks but with a subtle upscale twist: "crispy" fried pickles, chicken tenders, fried okra.

They also have a full bar with craft beer, and a welcoming, local atmosphere.

The team bringing Dirty Birds to DFW includes Adam Salazar (The Mitchell, Ye Olde Scarlet Pumpernickel Tavern) and Chris O'Mara, who has experience in both the hospitality and lending industries.

"Our wings — I'd put them up against anyone's," O'Mara says. "They're very big and meaty, and they're also made differently. I don't want to give away our technique but it involves cooking them in two stages so that when you get them, they're nice and crisp on the outside and juicy inside."

One signature for the Plano location is that their beers are served at 29 degrees, a popular benchmark at places like Twin Peaks, and a temperature that is deemed "very cold." AI says that the benefits of serving beer at a cold temperature include more satisfied customers, more sales, and an increase in profitability by up to 35 percent, because keeping it that cold reduces wasteful foaming.

They'll have 16 beers on tap, plus two big walk-in coolers with everything from High Life to craft beers. The restaurant has 18 TVs and also features football jerseys on display, since some football players have been known to frequent Dirty Birds. There is no patio currently, although a small space on the exterior could become a patio in the future.

O'Mara says he's been tickled to find that the brand has some local recognition.

"You have this little sports bar in San Diego, but one of their locations is near a military base, so a lot of people know about Dirty Birds," O'Mara says.

Prime Cut

Michelin-recognized chef brings Korean barbecue to Dallas' Bishop Arts

An upscale steakhouse featuring premium Korean barbecue is coming to 634 W. Davis St. in Bishop Arts, a space formerly occupied by Berkley’s Market, which closed in 2024. Min’s Prime Cut Korean Steakhouse, from owners Minji Kim and her husband, Ben Lee, is expected to open by November.

The couple shares a 20-year history opening restaurants together, starting in Seoul, South Korea where their Min’s Kitchen grew to include several locations around Seoul and earned Michelin Plate honors in Michelin Guide Seoul from 2017 through 2019. Kim’s culinary director position at Nuri Steakhouse brought the couple to Dallas, where they have also worked at now-closed Korean steakhouse Joa Grill and Greenville Avenue’s Flock & Fresh.

For the upcoming Min’s they have partnered with prolific Dallas chef Roy Ahn, known for opening Otaru in Bishop Arts and Mizu Sushi on Greenville Avenue. Ahn also has managed Dallas-area restaurants Little Katana, Kome Sushi, and Southlake’s Sushi Zen.

“Roy found the Bishop Arts location and approached us about creating something together there,” Lee says. “We immediately saw the potential of the neighborhood and felt it was the right place to bring the next chapter of Min’s Kitchen to Dallas.”

Chef Kim will direct the kitchen with operational support from Lee. True to Korean barbecue tradition, the menu will center on table-served meats featuring prime beef cuts — ribeye, New York strip, sirloin, tenderloin, filet, and marinated LA galbi short ribs. Dinners will include salad, rice, dipping sauces, and traditional side dishes (banchan), such as kimchi, bean sprouts, and blanched vegetables.

The barbecue program features tiered options ranging from $69 per person to a $119 omakase-style experience.

Staff will slice meat tableside and prepare it on built-in tabletop grills, though guests desiring a more hands-on experience will have the option to cook the cuts themselves.

Beyond barbecue, entrées range from $30-$45 and feature dishes like Chilean sea bass, jumbo prawns stir-fried with Korean soybean paste noodles, extra-tender slow-cooked octopus, and fresh ceviche dressed in yuzu juice.

A full wine-forward bar will boast plenty to pair with its premium meats, plus the rice-based distilled drink soju, beer, and handcrafted cocktails.

“From the beginning, my philosophy has been to respect the foundations and flavors of Korean cuisine while presenting them in a contemporary and approachable way,” Kim says. “Our concept is quite simple: great Korean food and exceptional aged beef, enjoyed together.”

The 4,000-square-foot space is undergoing renovations to create an elevated yet modern casual dining room. While the aesthetic will feel more refined than a standard neighborhood spot, the owners emphasize that the real draw will be the service and atmosphere.

“Our servers will be well-versed in our beef cuts and wine pairings to ensure a delightful experience, whether it's a casual evening with friends, a family dinner, or date night,” Lee says.

The restaurant plans to open for lunch and dinner service Monday through Thursday from 11 am-3 pm and 5-9:30 pm, with continuous all-day service on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
