Next up, Chapel Hill, North Carolina and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or UNC. I previously mentioned Chapel Hill when I wrote about their Writing Center Handouts. This is a LARGE state campus and the students did remind us of the ones back home, wearing sweat pants and very, very casual.
We ended up not spending too much time on campus; however, we spent a great deal of time in the town of Chapel Hill as they had AMAZING food there. All of these places are on the main street, Franklin Street.
We arrived late and our first stop was a lace that is open 24/7/365 called Time-Out as in a sports time out. There is a video about their Cheddar Chicken Biscuits on Man vs. Food that starts at 2:22 minute mark:
I must say, this chicken biscuit was hands down the best we have even eaten. We actually went back another night and the girls had another one!
The next place, Top of the Hill. This is a cross between a bar and a restaurant on top of a three story building. As with most of the places in Chapel Hill and Durham, they have MANY HD TVs to watch.... College Basketball games!!

Sadly, we didn't eat dinner there, but we did get dessert:
BANANA PUDDING: layers of fresh bananas, vanilla wafers and fresh vanilla pudding with house-made whipped cream & hot buttered rum sauce
and
TOPO BROWNIE: freshly baked, semi sweet, dark chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallows, chocolate and caramel sauces and brownie ala mode. (It also came with raspberry and white chocolate sauces too).
The pudding was decadent, it was rich and creamy. The brownie... not so much. We think it needed all the ice cream and sauces to cover up the fact that it was dry.
Next up... Sutton's Drug Store...
