New decade, same Sutton's: Patrons reminisce on legacy of a Tar Heel classic
Posted Jan 15, 2020
It's 11:15 a.m. on a Tuesday morning in Chapel Hill, and Sutton’s is packed. No booth is left unused, and no coffee cup is left unfilled. The fact that Sutton’s was packed at 11:00 a.m. on a Tuesday is a testament to why they have managed to stay in business since 1923. 2020 marks the 10th decade the Franklin Street restaurant has been in operation.
