I have heard much the same... some coworkers of mine went to the Neo in
Cary shortly after it opened and complained of feeling "funny" for the
rest of the afternoon when they got back.

As for other questions:

It's at the intersection of Old Apex Rd. and West Chatham St in Cary, and
is a Beatles/60s-themed joint. First time I went there I had a John burger
(you can also get these as chicken sammiches), 3 kinds of cheese and a
side of fries. Here, onion rings also qualify as a side, without extra
charge, and they are GOOD. Yesterday I went there and had a Paul burger,
bleu cheese in grand quantity on top. Opted for the pasta salad this time
but it wasn't really to my taste. The burger lasted me (fill-wise) through
9PM.

Uncle Frenche's is the next shopping center over from Jamaica Jamaica but
has actual Jamaicans (Rastafarians, even) cooking the food. Low-key,
plastic utensil/plate type joint, at which you can spend $5 total for
lunch and be full. I got 2 filled patties (tofu I believe) which were
incredible and I think all of $2 or $3 total, and I couldn't believe I
ordered more food.

I'm an avid reader of triangle.dining and have gotten some great
restaurant recommendations from there. I would like to try out Shabashabu
(behind the Melting Pot in Raleigh, on Wake Forest Rd) sometime soon. Go
to groups.google.com and do a search for triangle.dining - you can see
some of the recent threads there.

Good stuff,

Cheers
KJ
