Jay's Stuffed Burgers in Plymouth opened in October.

Canton restaurant hires chef to reinvent its menu, aesthetics.

Rather than frozen and fried grub, the news release said, Jay suggested fresh and inspiring dishes to appeal to modern diners and promotes a philosophy that if it isn't available fresh, then it won't be on the menu.

A survey of chefs around the country show locally grown ingredients, healthful kids' choices and sustainable fish rank highest among customers.
Restaurants sometimes surprise us with leading-edge cuisine, but owners and chefs know success depends mainly on pleasing the customer.
