OnlyBurger Returns!

by Andrew Hibbard on March 23, 2009

Contrary to a previously held belief, Twitter can be useful. Case in point: I just learned from the Wine Authorities Twitter that one of Durham’s finest food outposts, OnlyBurger, will be returning to the streets of the Bull City this Wednesday. The burger truck has been out of commission since Dec. 5 when, according to its Twitter, it was in a collision.

According to Carpe Durham, Wine Authorities also sent out an e-mail with the details of the roach coach’s return. Wine Authorities and OnlyBurger will be hosting a “Burger Speakeasy” at the former’s store (2501 University Dr.) Wednesday, March 25 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The e-mail also says that a third member has joined the team of Tom Ferguson (Durham Catering Co.) and Sam Poley (Restaurant Starlu). Check out the e-mail in full here.

Between its inception and accident, the truck spent a good deal of time on Duke’s campus, often parked under the plaza. It also paved the way for the forthcoming Diablo Taco truck and, to the best of my knowledge, is Durham’s first and only non-taco-vending eatery on wheels.

Regardless, OnlyBurger’s return could not have come sooner.

It “could not have come sooner” ? Sure it could have. It could have come yesterday … or the day before …

Oh — you mean that it “could not have come soon enough” or that it “could not have come too soon”.

But you work for the Chronicle, one of the greatest exhibitions of putrid writing to ever find its way onto a college campus.

Understandable, I suppose.

Umm, you aren’t exactly Mark Twain yourself there, pal. You write like a 4th grader. :-D

Glad to hear OnlyBurger is back.
