Fresh Chef Kitchen
The Verdict
Fresh Chef Kitchen is the under-the-radar Cornelius spot that food people know about. The menu changes frequently, the ingredients are fresh, and the chef clearly cares. The salmon preparation is consistently excellent, and the seasonal dishes are always worth trying. Skip the chains and come here.
