But this wasn’t just about lost cash—it was about community, as their authentic dishes brought joy to locals, and social media flooded with support. The theft, part of a growing trend hitting nearby trucks, spurred them to upgrade security and insurance.

Transcribe →Tar Heels Smash West Virginia to Finals
Jun 1800:01:25Tap to summarizeNorth Carolina just punched their ticket to the College World Series finals for the first time since 2007, crushing West Virginia 12-7 in a game fueled by explosive offense and unforgettable performances. Owen Hull and Gavin Gallaher lit up the scoreboard, combining for eight hits and seven RBIs as the Tar Heels went 16-for-27 at the plate. Coach Scott Forbes, who led teams to the finals in 2006 and 2007, called it poetic justice — his team delivered exactly what they needed. West Virginia fought valiantly, especially in the seventh, scoring five runs in a last-ditch effort, but it wasn’t enough. Now, with a championship berth secured, North Carolina gets a well-earned breather before facing either Oklahoma or Georgia on Saturday — and Forbes couldn’t be more thrilled to see his squad take center stage.
