The Chronicle’s 2016

Best of Duke Winners Favorite Place To Eat On Campus

Divinity School Café

twitter.com/dukedivcafe There’s truly nothing better than a Div School grilled cheese and tomato soup combo on a cold and rainy day—or any kind of day for that matter. Specializing in everything from wraps to lemon ricotta pancakes and the glory that is their baked oatmeal, you can never go wrong with a trip to the Divinity School Café.

Runner Up: Pitchforks

Best Burger

Burger Bach

737 Ninth St. Suite 220 theburgerbach.com At this New Zealand inspired gastro-pub, the focus is on preparing natural ingredients in the freshest and most unprocessed ways, all without sacrificing taste. But you don’t have to be a red-meat fanatic to experience the best of Burger Bach. Try their innovative chicken or black bean burgers, and get fresh cut fries to share. It’s impossible to go wrong with dipping sauces such as garlic aioli, blueberry chipotle BBQ sauce and roasted onion dip.

Runner Up: Bull City Burger & Brewery

Best Sweet Treat

The Parlour

117 Market St. | theparlour.com

Favorite Place To Eat On Campus

Monuts Donuts

1002 Ninth St. | monutsdonuts.com Ever heard of it? Nothing beats Monuts’ weekly donut menu, featuring flavors such as Maple Bacon Bourbon and Dark Chocolate Sea salt, or special surprises like their baked macaroni and cheese. A friend or family member’s visit to Durham simply isn’t complete without taking them to this locally owned shop—and ordering a slew of stacked breakfast sandwiches to go with those donuts.

If you haven’t been yet, what are you waiting for?

Co-owners Yoni and Vanessa Mazuz take the best ingredients to make the most delectable, seasonally inspired flavors of ice cream around. Boasting everything from “Rose Chai” and “Pretzels and Porter” to vegan options made from coconut milk, there’s nothing The Parlour doesn’t do and doesn’t do well. It’s the perfect summer or mid-week treat, so go in and grab a scoop (or two). You deserve it.

Runner Up: Ben & Jerry’s

Runner Up: Local 22

Best Pizza

Enzo’s Pizza Co.

2608 Erwin Road |enzospizzaco.com Serving homemade dough and sauce, fresh vegetables, and premium quality meats, this local favorite is dedicated to maintaining 19th century family tradition while experimenting with modern-day flavors. Choose from a selection of inventive pizzas or create your own. Enzo’s is perfect for online ordering, delivery and catering, but the best part is that you can pay with food points.

Runner up: Pompieri Pizza

Best Fine Dining

Nana’s Restaurant 2514 University Dr. nanasdurham.com

There’s something truly special about Nana’s, from its warm and inviting ambiance to its world-class cuisine and award-winning wine list. Chef and Owner Scott Howell has perfected the art of detail in both Nana’s décor and menu design, and his dishes are both simple and delicious. You can also find him delivering dishes to tables in his signature chef whites, shorts and baseball cap alongside his friendly and attentive staff. nearduke.com/dining I 11

If you’re looking for heaping servings of tasty food at a reasonable price, MediTerra is the place to call.

Runner Up: Sushi Love

420 West Geer St. www.cocoacinnamon.com/

This cozy coffee house has two convenient locations and both are prime study spots if you thrive in the cafe atmosphere. You’ll find Durham hipsters and Duke students working side by side.

It can get pretty busy so try and avoid during peak morning hours. If you feel the need to get off campus and want an ample supply of great coffee to keep you plugged in, this is your place.

Best Late-Night Food

Cosmic Cantina

1920 Perry St. | cosmicantina.com The sign on their back wall reads “The Best Mexican Food on the Planet”, and while we cannot definitively say that is true, we can say that Duke students think Cosmic Cantina is the best place to grab some grub past 2 a.m. Whether you’re in it for the queso or the guac, you’re sure to find all your late night eat desires fulfilled by this happening joint.

Best Food Truck

Parlez-Vous Crepe

@parlezvouscrepe parlezvouscrepe.com Whether you’re looking for sweet or savory, ParlezVous Crepe has got you covered. Owner Jody Argote brings her passion for French cuisine straight from Beaune, France, where she learned the art of crepe making. Featuring an array of fresh and seasonal ingredients, Parlez-Vous lets you watch your own crepe creation be made right in front of your own eyes.

Runner Up: Cookout

Best Hangover Food

Monuts Donuts

1002 Ninth St. | monutsdonuts.com Not only is Monuts a great brunch spot for the whole family; it’s also the perfect meal experience for the morning after a big night out. We’ve heard that nothing cures a hangover quite like a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich.

Runner Up: Breugger’s Bagels

Runner Up: Gussy’s Greek Street Food

Best BBQ

Best Brunch

2510 University Dr. theqshackoriginal.com

Nasher Café

2001 Campus Dr. nasher.duke.edu/cafe What’s better than enjoying a delectable brunch in an edgy, contemporary dining area and being able to pay with food points? When it comes to weekend brunch, the Nasher Museum Café doesn’t mess around. Guests can check out the sophisticated art exhibits and feast on favorites like the salmon benedict or citrus infused French toast. Brunch is also never complete without dessert, and Nasher’s dark chocolate lava cake is sure to please.

Runner Up: Foster’s Market 12 I nearduke.com/dining

The Original Q-Shack

Providing a mix of Western Carolina and Texas-style BBQ, this shack is the best of both worlds.

All of their meats are smoked in-house with a blend of hickory and mesquite woods, creating a barbecue experience that defines Carolina cuisine.

“BBQ tender as a mother’s love” is the Q-Shack’s motto, and Duke students wouldn’t want it any other way. Add sides like hush puppies, fried okra and collard greens and there’s no way you could go wrong.
