Re: “JJ's Red Hots does a dog right”
HORRIBLE Customer Service.
after having one of the bottles that were improperly secured ruin a $125 sweater. I brought it to the attention of the manager Darren that stated they would make it right. He just had to speak with his owner John and then they'd be in touch. I did speak with the owner John and he was very hesitant to believe my story and sounded skeptical but he'd look into it and get back to me. 7 days later no reply. I called several times with no return call and finally wrote some reviews. afterwards John sent me a reply email stating due to my reviews he is not interested in my loss and rather lose me as a customer. There are soo many good restaurants in the area. Go to one that cares about their customers. support local and boycott JJ Red hots
Re: “Twelve Years After His Release From Prison, Skyland Owner Jimmy Kakavitsas Won't Forget”
Thank you so much Gus and Jimmy. I will talk to the editor about getting the online version changed.
Re: “Twelve Years After His Release From Prison, Skyland Owner Jimmy Kakavitsas Won't Forget”
Thank you Vanessa for a great and true article. Finally a paper that wrote the truth. One correction is that you accidentally misunderstood the 10% and 90% part, I kept 10% not 90%. Everything is perfect and accurate on your article. My father and I cant thank you enough for your time. Its good that someone finally wrote an article thats accurate of the true story.

Re: “Step Right Up for Your 'Fresh My Farm' Vegetables”
started eating with Gus and Clara at Johnny's Grill. We watched George, Thrace, and Lisa Lee grow up.
A special family and a very special restaurant.

Re: “Family Business Forced To Shut Down After a Half Century on Kings Drive”
It's so sad to see the little details of Charlotte disappear one by one as development and modernization impact the city.
The smells of the deli were always welcome when I jogged by. It'll definitely be different when something new with less character takes its place.
Re: “Why do the black shows on the Food Network suck ass?”
The person who wrote this has something against Negros or so call African American TV host. He sounds racist. I enjoyed all three shows how talked about. If you hate watching blacks on tv move to Norway and don't watch TV. I can't believe this stuff I am reading. RACIST.
Re: “More College Graduates Are Getting Stuck in the Service Industry as Opportunities Become Scarce”
Erika!
I loved this piece and would love a chance to talk to you: I work with a lot of young people on lifestyle and debt, and am appalled at all the stories of great well-educated Charlotteans not getting into jobs they want. I can help! Please call or email me:

Re: “Lang Van's Dan Nguyen Is a Bright Light on Charlotte's Culinary Scene”
Going to LV is like going to a very old friend's home because they welcome you like family. It's comfort food and comfort people. Can't find anything better in Charlotte.
Re: “Rock and Rye knocks colds out”
I am in my early fifties. When I was younger I would caught a cold easy and my doctor was an old fashion one. He would have my mom give me R&R when every I had a bad cough mix with honey and lemon. A teaspoon now a tablespoon. And it WORKED. To this day that is all I use instead of meditations that people end up addicted to and before those say anything a bout R&R being alcohol. While it's true, it has other ingredients in it. And before you ask the next question no I don't drink and never have. This is the only thing that I take that has alcohol in it. May we need to get back to the home remedies again. They do work even if they sound crazy plus get essential oils also help too.
Re: “Why do the black shows on the Food Network suck ass?”
The Food Network & Cooking Channel both suck because they have changed from shows that teach us how to cook & have tried to become entertainment & they have failed at both. Gone are the days of Laura Calder (French Food at Home), Easy Chinese, 30 Minute Meals, etc.. They have been replaced by ex-celebrities that know less about cooking than the average Joe or Jane or over the top shows that make meals with so many expensive ingredients that most people couldn't afford to make them.
Re: “Lang Van's Dan Nguyen Is a Bright Light on Charlotte's Culinary Scene”
Dan is the warmest person I have ever met. When I went to the restaurant to pick up the food for our small wedding reception, Dan included a dozen red roses for our special occasion. Who does that??? Dan does!! She is always happy, and the food speaks for itself, always delicious and fresh. Cheers!
