Piri Pica’s Preview
Chef Telmo Faria’s (Uma Casa, Tacolicious) newest Portuguese spot will open in the old Frjtz space as Piri Pica. The fast-casual restaurant will feature Portugal’s famous flame-grilled, succulent chicken with, among other zesty flavors, a traditional piri piri sauce, made with bird’s eye chili peppers from southeast Africa. Diners can choose a whole bird, a half, or a quarter, and opt for sides that span many of Portugal’s exotic culinary influences: couscous, braised greens, grilled corn, and spicy fries.
