A local group of dining spots in the northern suburbs of Boston that focus in part on fried chicken sandwiches has closed one of its locations.
According to an Instagram post, Rogue Kitchen + Provisions/Flip the Bird at Cummings Center in Beverly has shut down, with the post mentioning "suffering through the aftermath of the pandemic and trying to operate a restaurant in an office park" while also saying the following:
I had too much to say in a text box, so I made a story for everyone who's had questions about why we're no longer at our Cummings Center location. It's worn many hats over the year (Marino's Cafe, The Hatchery, Flip The Bird Cafe @ Cummings, and last but not least Rogue Kitchen + Provisions) but myself and Anthony have been the ones behind each concept....We also want to give a HUGE shout out thank you to everyone who helped us in our final days, it was a heavy load to carry and short window to get it done, we couldn't have done this without you and we'll never be able to repay your kindness.
The Cummings Center location of Marino's Cafe/The Hatchery/Flip The Bird Cafe/Rogue Kitchen + Provisions got its start more than 10 years ago, with other locations of Flip the Bird currently in operation in Beverly (Cabot Street), Danvers, and Swampscott.
The address for the now-closed Rogue Kitchen + Provisions/Flip the Bird was 100 Cummings Center Suite 107P, Beverly, MA, 01915. The website for all locations is at https://flipthebirdfriedchicken.com/
