It is the Saturday morning of the Carolina-Duke basketball game, and you find yourself facing a different schedule than in years past.
Sure, you are probably still picking up breakfast at Sunrise or Sutton’s if you are in Chapel Hill.
But, you are probably picking up a mid-day BLT from Merritt’s or a burger from Al’s rather than dining in.
And instead of trying to Ickey shuffle your way through a bevy of humanity at Blue Horn Lounge or TOPO just for a line of sight to a television, you stock your fridge at home. The cost-savings and convenience have you doubting why you ever put up with crowded bars in the first place.
