arbecue of the stars
w
here's the best barbecue
around? For 45 years
Bullock $ of Durham has
been serving barbecue that can make
any mouth water. Just hop in a car
and take 15-501 Bypass North to
Hillsborough Road. Located at 3330
Worthman St. across from the Bests
department store, Bullock's has a
table waiting for you-
Bullock's barbecue is so famous
that people from all over the coun
try have it shipped to their homes.
Fans of Bullock's fine Southern
cuisine Include Kenny Rogers, Cat
fish Hunter, Hank Williams, Marie
Osmond, Tanya Tucker and the
rock band U2.
Because of its fame, Bullock's of
ten has lines outside. But it's worth
the wait. The average delay is only
about 10 to 15 minutes. Most Caro
lina students shouldn't have any
problem with this, because waiting

ii'-
in line is one of the disciplines learned
here. Patience is a virtue and it can
be definitely rewarded in thiscase.
Some of the most rewarding selec
tions include the famous barbecue,
either by itself or on a combination
platter with delicious Brunswick stew.
Your taste buds won't know what hit
them. The barbecue is mildly spicy
and not very greasy. The stew is thick
and meaty with plenty of vegetables.
And don't forget the hushpuppies.
They're crunchy, buttery and come
with any barbecue platter.
If you don't have a car and the
person you're mooching a ride off
doesn't want barbecue, don't worry.
Bullock's also offers a variety of other
delicious meals. Choices include
spaghetti, lasagna, fish, chicken
(fried, baked or barbecued), liver
and onions and even chicken teri
yaki. Each dish comes with a choice
of two tasty vegetables. Try some
buttery stewed corn, collard greens,
baked beans, black eyed peas or fried
okra.
To top it all off, Bullock's has an
unbelievable dessert selection. Rich
chocolate pie with a light meringue
topping that melts in the mouth,
hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream
on top, creamy chocolate puddings
and lemon meringue pie are just a
few ways to satisfy a sweet tooth.
Drive over to Bullock's and join
in a tradition of great barbecue and
delicious homestyle food. It is open
Tuesday through Saturday from
11:30 a.m. through 8:00 p.m. It's
an experience your taste buds won't
let you forget.

Passase to India
spices up North
Carolina cuisine
After returning from a summer
in Chicago, where ethnic food
can be found on any street
corner, I was excited to find Chapel
Hill had expanded its cultural hori
zons with the addition of a new In
dian restaurant. Finally, people in the
Triangle have the opportunity to taste
this exotic, authentic cuisine at Pas
sage to India.
Passage to India is located at 1301
E. Franklin St., on the site of the old
Brass Rail. Although the basic lay
out is the same, the interior has
changed to include paintings and
other ornaments from India. The
restaurant is simple and clean, and
the casual atmosphere is set with the
sound of Indian music.
The restaurant's owner, Ashok
Kesar, said he grew up in India and
spent the last six years in the Boston
area working at his uncle's Indian
restaurant. Kesar said opening a new
restaurant in Chapel Hill was a good
idea because people wanted spicy food
but it had always been hard to find
in the Triangle.
So far, business has been excel
lent, especially on the weekends, he
said. Right now the majority of his
patrons are area professionals but he
said he would like to attract more
UNC students. That shouldn't be too
much of a problem because his dishes
are very reasonably priced, anywhere
between $6.25 to $9.50 for an en
tree. Passage to India boasts a vast menu
featuring seven types of Indian breads,
soups (shorba), appetizers, vegetable
dishes (sabzian), seafood, chicken
(murg), meat and rice (chowal). It

even lists six different condiments to
choose from including raita, a deli
cious, smooth mixture of cucumber,
mint and yogurt. If your mouth is
dry, you can quench your thirst with
amar lassi, a milk and mango pulp
beverage.
Kesar recommended that I try one
of the restaurant's most popular en
trees: a vegetarian special called thaM.
First came a cup of lentil soup, a cup
of onion chutney and two loaves of
pood. Poori is a deep-fried bread that
puffs up like a small balloon. Next
came the entree: a large silver tray
contained alo mater, baingnen, raita,
rice and papad. The best way to en
joy this dish is to top a serving of
long grain rice with the alo mater
and baingnen (both are vegetables
mixed in a dark, spicy sauce). The
raita (cucumber, mint and yogurt
sauce) can be eaten on the rice as
well, for a cooler alternative. The
papad, a very light wafer, can be eaten
by itself or used as a scoop for the
rice and sauces.
All the dishes can be prepared to
your liking; mild, medium or hot. A
less expensive, slightly smaller lunch
eon menu and take-out service also
expands your dining options.
I found Passage to India to be more
than just a restaurant; it was a cul
tural experience as well. The food
was exotic, light and zesty, with an
atmosphere that fit the menu. If you're
willing to try something a little dif
ferent, I highly recommend you visit
it soon.
As Kesar said, "Good quantity,
good quality and less price" are very
important to the people at Passage
to India. With that kind of attitude,
they're sure to stick around'.
