To ensure its coffee is fresh, the business roasts its Kind Coffee beans on site.
The crew in the kitchen produces breakfast sandwiches on scratch-made biscuits,
quiche, slow-cooked beef brisket,
Nathan’s hot dogs, flat-bread pizza and
edamame.
And as of November, the cart is back,
this time at UNC’s Bioinformatics Build-
ing, selling sandwiches made that morning
in the cafe and coffee made on the cart.

Ham’s Still Open
The Chapel Hill branch of Ham’s
Restaurant will remain open despite its
parent company reorganizing under Chapter 11 bankruptcy rules. Ryan Faircloth,
who bought the Franklin Street franchise
outlet in spring 2008, said business has
been up, even through the economic
downturn. The Ham’s chain has been in
operation since 1935. It recently closed
restaurants in Charlotte, Burlington and
Kinston.

Kerr Drug Moves to East 54
In November, Kerr Drug closed its

Billed as “the most evolutionary and revolutionary pharmacy ever,” the new branch
is called Kerr Drug-UNC Eshelman
School of Pharmacy Research Center and
pursues clinical research initiatives in diabetes and pharmacogenomics. A health care
resource officer is on staff to answer questions on Medicare D and connect patients
to community resources. All that and free
delivery, too.
