"Canadian chain the Chickery, which last year called in Top Chef alum and fellow Canuck Spike Mendelsohn to refresh its menu, has closed its location in Dupont Circle (1300 Connecticut Avenue NW) in order to try its luck further west. "We are looking to relocate the Dupont location to suburban Virginia and we’re currently scouting sites in Fairfax County," Chickery CEO Kert Gennings tells Eater. The high cost to call Connecticut Avenue home likely didn’t help. "Stores there have to do massive volumes to pay their rent," says Mendelsohn, who remains involved with the company. "Suburbia is where I thought [Chickery] belonged." - Tierney Plumb
