Bullocks
Location
Fans of the place will tell you, “everybody in Durham goes there.” It’s true, and I saw an old friend just a few minutes after the waitress filled my tea glass. Tonia Butler told me, “I came to get some fresh vegetables because I need something healthy.” But when she saw my barbecue, fried chicken, Brunswick stew, slaw, hush puppies, and sweet tea, she laughed and said to the waitress, “Same as he got.” Celebrities come here, too, Shirley Caesar (the gospel singer and minister) and Ken Starr (the Whitewater special prosecutor) to name a few. On the way out, I saw a whole wall of photos of famous people who had eaten at Bullock’s. But none could have eaten more happily than I did.
