LOL! Normally, I'd have to agree with you. But I have a very weird hangup with eating fried chicken (and ribs). I really, really wanna use a knife and fork. Even when I'm eating alone in my own home. No, not kidding, and yes, its embarrassing. (My mother was a very proper Brit, with table manners that could rival royalty. It's her fault.)

Agreed on Mediterranean Grill and Grocery and Bua Thai. I think Bua Thai gets lost in the hubbub of Nantucket Grill and Bocci.

Tomato Jake's over by Harvest 18 on Renaissance Parkway has, in the evaluation of this NJ native, the best conventional pizza in the area.

La Superior market on N. Roxboro has a wonderful bakery and excellent tacos, burritos, etc. And horchata!! And a custom butcher. And amazing Latino/Mexican products. Well worth the trip.

Bring the knife, fork, plate, etc. with you to the Chicken Hut.

I have a hang up about wings and ribs so I get it.

I was excited to order a rotisserie chicken from them tonight, but they were all out of rotisserie chicken.

Very intrigued about Tomato Jake's! I had always written them off because of their name. I don't know why. It just felt like meh chain restaurant to me (also often fine for me but who needs new ones). Definitely will try them, thanks hackwriter!

Tomato Jakes isn't a chain it's a stand alone with original ownership since around the mid 2000s. Definitely worth a try.
