Chef Anthony Caturano displays the exciting menu for Tonna Restaurant at 2 Main Street Gloucester, Mass.

Grover and his wife Cindy ran the Cupboard and had countless friends and if you grew up in Gloucester you were touched by the “Cupboard Experience” that they created and maintained all these years.

Hi Joey:
I wanted to pass along the attached obit for Grover Hudson Carter. This wonderful man ran The Cupboard on Tolman Ave for years and passed away in Georgia this past weekend. I grew up across the street from you Grandmother and can’t count the number of cones, burgers and goodies Grover supplied. For a few years in the late 60’s/ early 70’s, Grover and Cindy held an end-of-year, Tolman Ave ‘block party’ as they closed up The Cupboard for the season; a great pick-me-up for a young lad bummed because summer was over and school had started up. He helped make my childhood in Stage Fort Park memorable…

Anthony will be bringing his culinary skills to soon to be opened “Tonno” in #GloucesterMA. Currently completely renovating the space in the Blackburn Tavern building on the corner of Washington and Main St.
