Steve has been employed at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill for over two decades. He ​became the CEO three years ago. He graduated from Villanova University and sits ​on the advisory council for Alex’s Lemonade Stand. He projects himself as a loving, ​friendly, and responsible family man. Firebirds’ customers are learning the truth ​though: Steve’s company – which reportedly had $338 million in sales in 2023 – ​lacks corporate transparency and is seemingly profiting off of animal suffering.

Despite its previous commitment to transition to 100% cage-free eggs, it appears ​Firebirds continues to use eggs from hens kept in archaic cages where they can’t ​even fully spread their wings, dust-bathe, or express most of their natural behaviors. ​The animals experience extreme boredom and stress, and they often die in their tiny, ​filthy enclosures. Sometimes they are left to rot alongside their living cage mates.

Because of animal cruelty concerns and consumer demand, countless restaurants —​including The Cheesecake Factory, Olive Garden, and Outback Steakhouse — have ​already transitioned to using cage-free eggs, and 11 states have banned the use of ​cages for egg-laying hens. The public is speaking out against inhumane cages too, ​with countless people across the globe signing petitions to stop the cruelty.

But Steve stays silent.

He has claimed that Firebirds takes a “customer-oriented approach,” but ​continues to ignore the pleas of restaurant-goers like us who are begging him to ​use his power at Firebirds to end cages once and for all.

While he watches college basketball and enjoys his waterfront property he ​purchased for over a million dollars, hens are stuffed into cages so small that ​they can barely move because he refuses to follow through on an animal welfare ​commitment his company made years ago.

Steve, it’s time to stop ignoring your customers and take ​responsibility. Tell us: what is the real status of Firebird’s cage-free ​egg policy? We would love to return to Firebirds once we hear that ​the company has gone cage-free.
