Now that I’m in Chapel Hill for 10 days, I have to figure out what I want to do: this will probably be my last long visit. My plans seems to be focusing around food. Here are the places I need to visit:
Allen and Son BBQ: The best local BBQ place. Actually went for dinner tonight. As you can tell, I’m off the vegetarian wagon in NC.
Goodberry’s Frozen Custard: We stumbled across frozen custard when on a quest to buy some damn thing or another last year. It doesn’t seem possible to get it in Vancouver, so I’m going to have to get it now.
Toledo’s Taqueria: This is a little hole-in-the-wall cafeteria-style Mexican place. Day labourers wait outside in the mornings, so I’m guessing it’s pretty authentic. Plus, nobody speaks English. Kat insists on exercising her high school Spanish. I’m happy to get out “plato especial”.
Some less authentic Mexican place: I’m not against a little tex in my mex either.
Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen: It’s just not possible to get biscuits this good in Vancouver. Something about the amount of protein in Canadian flour.
Bon’s: We haven’t been there before, but I need some southern food.
S & T Soda Shoppe: A real, restored olde-timey soda shoppe nearby.

Chicken Biscuit!
And if you can pull yourself away from the chicken biscuit, remember that they make the hands down best cinnamon bun/roll ever. In fact, just thinking about it is making my mouth water.
