You’ve gotta use those food points somewhere. Swing by for lunch between classes for only $15, or catch up with friends over a luxurious New York Strip dinner plate. That bread basket full of cheddar biscuits has never tasted more worth it.

This menu is Southern from head to toe. Start off with deviled eggs or dates…wrapped in bacon. Immerse yourself in a bowl of cheesy shrimp and grits. End the evening with a slab of lemon pound cake better than Grandma makes. You’ll have to be rolled out of the restaurant.

End your meal with a hand-fired creme brûlée, and that sounds like a perfect evening spent in Chapel Hill.
