Chapel Hill mourns Dean Smith

Posted Feb 9, 2015
The corned beef sandwich was his favorite. He almost always ordered it to go. Dean Smith didn’t want anyone to treat him differently or let him order first. So he often called his order in to Four Corners Grille and picked it up through the back door in the kitchen. This was Smith — the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coach — off the court. The Chapel Hill resident. The food connoisseur. (Daily Tar Heel)
