Tony Hawk is a man of many talents. Yes, he's the poster-human for skateboarding. We all know this. He's a major advocate for creating skateparks across the globe through The Skatepark Project. Boom, dope. And he's actually a pretty talented actor, to be honest—commercials, movie cameos, this, that and the other.

But these days he's also dipping his toes in the culinary world, and personally, I can't wait for his restauraunt Chick and Hawk to open! Yep, The Birdman is opening a chicken sandwich spot in Southern California, and to give the space some extra flair, Hawk tapped none other than legendary street artist Shepard Fairey to add what he called “some brilliant finishing touches.” Peep the post below and let's talk chicken.

"Thank you @obeygiant & crew for creating some brilliant finishing touches to our never ending story (aka @chick.and.hawk)," The Birdman wrote on Instagram. "The dream has become reality. A grand opening is imminent, I promise."

Chick & Hawk has already done a few pop-up events so far, and they’ve all been super successful. The sandwiches are genuinely good. Chef Bachelier is the real deal! And you know The Birdman isn't gonna stamp his name on something that isn't supreme.

And of course, you know there has to be something to skate there, right? The Birdhouse squad recently made their way over there to give the spot a proper little pre-break in. Check the edit below.
