HAWTHORNE & WOOD

Best Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Restaurants | Eater Carolinas

"The sister restaurant to Bluebird, Hawthorne & Wood is a more laid-back neighborhood joint serving Americana fare with touches of global flavor. Think General Tso’s cauliflower, a slow-cooked pork shoulder with tamarind and jalapeno, and a duck breast in mole sauce. There’s a burger that comes “fully stacked,” New Orleans-style shrimp with Portuguese cornbread, and fried olives with a rouille to help round out the edible trip around the world. The wine list features both New and Old World familiar varietals, and the cocktail menu offers both classics like a French 75 or a Moscow Mule, or new creations like the Chapel Hill iced tea (rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, black tea, lemon)." - Matt Lardie
