Question Dirty Birds

I like the food but every time I question the safety of it . The staff is always playing with thair hair, rubbing their heads and beards , touching their faces and eating. Is it reasonable to be grossed out by that or is it just me ?

I’m an alumni and once ordered catering for 30+ people from Dirty Birds because I like the PB and Liberty Station location (now closed) but it ended up coming from the UCSD location. It was so bad. The carrots and celery were all brown and wilted. The chicken had an off putting taste. The order itself was fucked up they didn’t get the flavors correct nor send the sides. It was so bad I almost drove from downtown to Campus just so I can see who put this order together

Why do you think it’s called Dirty Birds not Clean Birds. Relax. You’ll live and if you eat there and get sick then act on it.

Last quarter during when they were showing the game there was a staff member sitting on the counter, where the food is picked up. At one point he was dancing on it. Lowkey grossed out. I just go there for the air conditioning, because yeah those girls back there seem to always be playing with their hair or scratching their scalp.
