One of the local competitions is back! The North Shore is host to a small local fried chicken sandwich chain called Flip the Bird and since 2021 they've had a little friendly competition between their various locations.  Each location develops its own signature sandwich for the month, and customers are encouraged to visit all locations, try them out, and then vote. There's also a raffle at the end for one of the voting entries.   It's a clever way of encouraging folks to go to different locations and try out new items for their existing menu. I missed the 2021 battle because I didn't think this chain existed, but I look forward to this annually.

For half a season in 2023 we had a Flip the Bird in Salem (at a convenient walking location too), but that closed down.  Boooo! Oh well. Looking forward to the Birdie Mac this year.
