rience to the next level, opt for Hog Heaven’s ’Cue Dog, which is topped with pulled-pork barbecue and coleslaw. There are strong signs that Bulls fans prefer local fare. National pizza giant Papa John’s still sponsors the Bulls, but there wasn’t quite enough business at the seasonal spot to justify keeping it open. Levey went looking for a solution that wasn’t Domino’s or another major chain and found an eager candidate in Pie Pushers.
“[Nathan’s and Hebrew International are] good hot dogs, but they’re not from North Carolina. If we can do something local, we’d rather do it local.”

DURHAM’S YEAR ROUND FLEA MARKET
At the Durham Green Flea Market you can find:
The Bulls’ 2018 season started at the beginning of April, but already, Pie Pushers is significantly outpacing Papa John’s sales. Beyond that immediate payoff, Becky Cascio, who co-owns Pie Pushers with her husband, Mike Hacker, says that their relationship with DBAP carries the benefit of bringing the Pie Pushers name to a new audience. “It’s a nice challenge and addition to what we were already doing,” Cascio says. “It’s another place to be involved in Durham, and it brings a whole other crowd.” The Bulls’ famous “Hit Bull, Win Steak” billboard looms over left field, billowing clouds of smoke out of its nose when the home team knocks one out of the park. But athletic excellence isn’t necessary to find good food with the Bulls—in fact, you barely have to get in the door to do it. ahussey@indyweek.com
