State Bird Provisions

Since opening on the last day of 2011, State Bird Provisions has been surrounded by a relentless buzz. Owned by husband and wife chef team Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinsk, State Bird has already earned a Michelin Star and been nominated by the James Beard Foundation twice, first as the best new restaurant in the country in 2013 and then as best chefs in the West in 2015. While such luminous accolades might call to mind visions of white tablecloths and candlelight, the reality is actually quite the opposite.
