Mhm. Welcome to the Town hall grill a game day staple in Chapel Hill. I've always been a U. N. C. Fan for 30 years now. Owner David Sadeghi has tar heel touches everywhere. The Tar Hill diehards here. They they're here going crazy at times. Even his menu last season he signed an NHL deal with Armando Bacot. We decided why not do a product that bears your name? And the Mondo burger was born. So we've got a nice fresh baked brioche, bun, crispy hand breaded onion straws and applewood smoked bacon. A couple of thin slices of smoked Gouda that we'll put on there and that's our Mondo burger. I sat down to eat one with the man himself. See Armando you've got the rebounding record national championship appearance. Jersey is probably gonna be in the rafters someday at UNC that's a goal but your own burger, The Mondo burger, that's true immortality right there. 100%. I mean that's my biggest accomplishment to this date. One of the things I like about you is you're not afraid to show some personality. Say how you feel. It was a classic scarface. Where does that come from? Is me being authentic? You know, I try to just be me really I look back at people like Shaquille O'neal just huge personalities and they really just having fun with it. I mean I think that's the best way to go about it all along before we dig in time for some cheesy questions. What tasted sweeter spoiling Coach K's final game of Cameron. We're sending him into early retirement in the final four. Honestly, I probably would say winning that Duke I thought was probably the best just because like everybody written us off and just go in there and win. Especially when they had like all their players back. It was amazing. The final seconds will tick away if hubert Davis had his own sandwich or burger, what would it be? Something without cheese? He doesn't eat cheese. So he'll get a pizza and they'll have like the marinara sauce on it. Without cheese. Yeah, it's the craziest thing ever. Well, that's the secret to energy, effort and toughness. No cheese, No cheese. I am not even close to full. I'm starving right now. I think I'm ready to dig into this cheese. I feel like Gouda is an underrated cheese, but the way it mixes with the onions and the barbecue special. Buy it every time I gotta let you know though, you might gain like 2" off this evening. On my vertical or in my waist. Mm
