Charlotte Observer - Bull City Burger & Brewery

"When Seth Gross opened Bull City Burger and Brewery in Durham this spring, his aim was to get as close to everything-from-scratch as he could. Besides grinding their own beef for burgers and hot dogs, they make their own barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, relish and mustard and bake their own burger buns. "We do everything except ketchup and that's because tomatoes aren't in season yet," he says. He'll start making ketchup in July. "The idea was quality over quantity. When you make your mustard twice a week, it's so hot and vibrant."

"Having a strong artistic presence also increases a town’s hipness. Some believe Durham is overtaking Chapel Hill and Carrboro as the cool corner of the Triangle. We can’t let that happen. We can’t let the Southern Part of Heaven and the Paris of the Piedmont outsource their cool to the Bull City."

Mythical Monkey - Bull Durham
