The Eater

Posted on August 7, 2008 by Staff

Now serving

BUNS, the new specialty burger joint adds its wide-ranging menu to the quick, cheap-eats options in downtown Chapel Hill, filling the huge void left by the departure of Hector’s. Beef, turkey, tuna and veggie burgers ranging from $3.98 for a single to $6.99 for a Tar Heel Triple. Fries, chili and Caesar salad sides, domestic and imported beer. BUNS is located in the old Jersey Mike’s space (or the old Columbia Street Bakery space, old timers) at 107 North Columbia. 240-2746, bunsofchapelhill.com

Specialty dinner

Panzanella is taking reservations for its Aug. 18 farm dinner featuring Alex and Betsy Hitt of Peregrine Farms. Specialty peppers and tomatoes are sure to be on the menu. The dinner is from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. Parties of six or more call 929-6626 to make a reservation.

Beer and a glass

Next Tuesday is Avery Brewery Pint Night at Tyler’s Taproom. Drink the beer, leave with the glass.

On the menu

Lots of summertime dishes to recommend. You can almost smell the season coming through in this app now at Lantern: Velvet Silver Queen corn soup with NC blue crab and scallions.
Crook’s Corner is saying summer with Cold Fried Chicken and a Picnic Plate, featuring potato salad, deviled eggs and watermelon.

Home cooking

Cliff’s has a pre-marinated al pastor (pork, pineapple, onions and a mild hot sauce) for $3.25 a pound. Cooks up nice — let it simmer for a while.

Just peachy

Peaches have hit the farmers’ markets. Last year was dismal due to a late frost and a lingering drought. Reports are that this year’s crop is splendid.
