UNC Unveils Kenan Expansion Plans
The Rams Club has put together
a new site demonstrating plans for expanding
the 60,000 seat Kenan Stadium. The addition will replace the 1927 Spanish styled original field house with a complex housing “premium” seating, a student-athlete center for non-revenue sports, a new academic center for athletes, and new visitor locker rooms. The project will cost about $85 million and is expected to begin within the next two years.
Man V. Food Features Durham Tonight
Tonight’s episode of Man Vs. Food travels to Durham where they find the Backyard BBQ Pit and Wimpy’s Grill . The show’s website also mentions Blu Seafood , Four Square , Nosh , Dain’s Place , and Daisy Cakes . The show airs at 10pm on Travel Channel (rerun at 11pm). Here are some more details:
Durham has been called the "Cradle of Cue", so Adam starts his journey with a search for some good ole Eastern Carolina BBQ. His search lands him at Backyard BBQ Pit , which I’ve personally been to and can say from experience is absolutely to die for! They’re known for their chopped BBQ pork, which btw isn’t really chopped, it’s stirred (that’s how tender it is!). In Adam’s own words, the pork "coats your tongue like velvet".
Next up, Adam heads to Wimpy’s Grill which is known for big breakfasts and big burgers. This place is just down the street from Duke University and is a hot spot for tailgating and eating. Adam tries the Garbage Burger – a double cheeseburger topped with bacon, chili, coleslaw, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and condiments. This burger is so messy Adam says, "I feel I need to eat it in the shower".
What do a gymnast, cheerleader, football player, and foodie from Brooklyn all have in common? They’re running the Doughman Relay together for the main event of the episode! Adam and fellow Travel Channel host Dhani Jones team up with a couple locals to take on this 15 mile race of running, biking, swimming, and eating. I don’t want to give too much away, but there is a fried green tomato sandwich involved and Dhani kicks some serious booty on the bike! Will they place in the top five?
Tune-in Wednesday, September 2nd, at 10 E/P to find out! In the meantime, check out this sneak peek video about Wimpy’s Grill (and feel free to post this on your blog).
