"There is no website or social media presence. It’s only open until 2 p.m. on Monday through Friday and closed on weekends. It’s cash only and certainly no frills, but L&D is an institution in East Durham and a beloved tradition for many long-time Durham residents. Classic Carolina-style hot dogs, affordable burgers, and fried chicken that’s so popular it’s usually gone before noon. The grocery part of the business is almost nonexistent at this point, but that’s not why people show up. Lunch at L&D is about as affordable — and old school — as you can get in Durham these days." - Matt Lardie
