Fried chicken was on the menu this month as local residents enjoyed crispy treats at newly-opened Tonydoms Fried Chicken restaurant in Summit.<\/p>\n

Owner and local Summit dad, Marc Trujillo, smiled as a host of customers burst through the door on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe officially finished our first week,\u201d Trujillo said. \u201cThe opening has gone extremely well. The support from the local community has been awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As an Executive Chef with 25 years of culinary experience in New York City, Trujillo said his \u201cwife Sharon and I moved to Summit 16 years ago. Our sons, Anthony and Dominick, go to high school and middle school, respectively. When Dominick was born, the name \u201cTonydoms\u201d came into existence. I knew I would open a restaurant in Summit and give it that name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among several customers in the restaurant on Sunday afternoon included a husband-and-wife couple from Westfield, who specifically traveled to experience the new menu and tried the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just got back from Nashville and must say this chicken was much better,\u201d the satisfied customer said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did you hear about us,\u201d Trujillo asked the Westerfielder. \u201cWe saw the story in Tapinto.\u201d Tapinto.net<\/em>, the news online site that supports many local areas in New Jersey, recently featured the business in an article last week. Click here for the story.<\/p>\n

Tonydoms offers tenders, sandwiches, biscuit sandwiches, wraps, bone-in chicken, fresh hand cut French fries, mac-n\u2019 cheese, and hand-rolled biscuits. We bake brownies and chocolate chip cookies daily. Sweet tea is brewed on the premises and fresh-squeezed lemons are used for our lemonade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
