Chapel Hill Must List - Addendum

Well, we ran out of time. We didn't get to eat everywhere we would have liked. Here are the best of the rest (in alphabetical order):

35 Chinese



Alfredo's Pizza



BW3



Carolina Brewery



Ham's
(no picture)

Tandoor Indian Restaurant



Top of the Hill



* If Charlie's Chinese was still open, it would have made the list.

** If you are going to be in Chapel Hill for awhile, then it is mandatory you eat the supremely cheesy lasagna at the Rathskeller

*** With the exception of BW3 and Ham's, chains were excluded. (sorry, Red Hot & Blue)

Chapel Hill Must List - Part 1

Well, the family endured a day long flight back to the States from Beijing and a week of jetlag in Charleston, SC. Time enough for us to return to Chapel Hill for a few days for a visit. But with a limited amount of meals in Chapel Hill, where will we eat? Here is our must list. Our first meal in town was Thusday night dinner. Our choice:
Allen & Son BBQ

New Book Titles That Should Be Written About China

1. No Five Second Rule in China
If it falls on the floor, it's done. Don't even think about putting it in your mouth.

2. You Can't Get Rice in China
You can order it, you can ask for it to come out first, you can remind them during the meal, but you will never taste it's starchy goodness.

3. In an Atheist Country, it Doesn't Matter if the Customer is God.
Good Service? You're not in China.

Dead Men Wear Glasses

Really. They often need to be refitted because their eyesight changes drastically after death. Don't believe me? If it wasn't true, why would they have a store?
