Chefs are battling over who came up with this 'horrifying' fried chicken sandwich first

Fried chicken sandwich drama is backand somehow weirder than before.It all began when chef Chris Bleidorn was working ona takeout restaurant idea for a San Francisco spot.The restaurant would servefried chicken sandwiches, completewith the chicken claw.According to CNN, Bleidorn wanted Birdbox,the restaurant, to be making more of a statementabout how people thoughtlessly consume meat.“Our habit is we go to a store and buy a bagfull of 24 chicken wings or 24 chicken drums …we see people mindlessly toss them into their carts.Not thinking that 24 wings comes from 12 chickens”.By including the claw, Bleidorn wanted thesandwich to be waste-free and drive the philosophyof using the whole animal when cooking.Now, Toronto chef Nate Middleton isaccusing the idea of being stolen from him.He tagged Bleidorn in a photo he’d postedon Instagram in December 2016 of a friedchicken sandwich with a claw.

“@chrisbleidornlook familiar?” Middleton wrote.As of now, Bleidorn insists it’s a coincidence, andMiddleton remains furious of Birdbox’s coverage
