I was in Chapel Hill nearly five years, I don't think they had much of a restaurant calling, though if pressed I'd go with Eastern Carolina BBQ (which is an aquired  taste I think), and hushpuppies and cole slaw.  I guess like Austin, the food type is more general to the region than the town.

The sort of "go to" thing in Athens would be the music scene, the Georgia Theater for a concert.  You could also see the "tree that owns itself" and the double barreled cannon, those are major landmarks.;)

The "epic thing" on campus is this below, tradition was freshmen shouldn't walk through it.  Georgia was the first public university to receive its state charter in 1785, but not the first to open its doors, that would be UNC.  This area was "unsettled" in 1785.  The town didn't exist yet.

Does this count as a food group, or a unique, regional specialty?  :)

Absolutely! Is this your setup or someone else's?  Or, can you not tell me for, you know, reasons...? :)

I can tell you exactly where to see it, if that counts.

Welcome to the SEC, Land of the Sweet Tea.

Where Vandy fans and look and see

An all time winning record against UT.

And OU fans got very blue

When the Dawgs win a victory too.

And they think it very fine

When the Cotton Bowl ended 10-9.

But the "Horns are out for revenge

Hoping success doesn't hinge

On whether their tea is sweat or not

But whether the talent they got

Is enough.
Sweat tea does not sound very tasty. Or thirst-quenching.

I like plenty of southern grub.  But that is one thing I'll never, ever drink.

What are your favorites of southern grub?  Good fried chicken?  There is a lot of mediocre running around of course.  Cole slaw?  Greens of collards?  Bread of corn?  Okra?  Soup beans?  Vidalia onion?  Chicken fried chicken?  Fried catfish?  Hushpuppies?  Green beans cooked with fat back?  Grits?

Yes.

OTOH, I can take or leave sweet tea.

Good fried chicken - food for the gods
Cole slaw - complex category, but generally good
Collard greens - not on a train, not in the rain, not in a box, not with a fox
Cornbread - 3 cheers
Okra - offal, worse than collard greens
Soup beans - Navy? Pinto? Kidney?
Vidalia onions - not really a fan of onions, Vidalia or otherwise
Chicken fried chicken - yes, can be very good
Fried catfish - catfish should not be eaten at all
Hushpuppies - OK
Green beans with fatback - no experience
Grits - they are nothing to me

Love fried chicken and chicken fried chicken.  Chicken fried steak too, with cream gravy of course.

Cole slaw I can take or leave, but I love most greens-- collard, turnip, spinach, and all the rest.

Cornbread, absolutely.  My mom likes to put it in a glass of milk and spoon it out.  

Okra is great, I like most beans, obviously none of them belong in chili.

We have 1015 onions here, the Aggies invented them.  They're tasty.

Fried catfish is delicious, gotta have hushpuppies alongside of course.

Green beans are good as long as they're fresh-snapped.  Canned grean beans gross me out.

And yes of course I like grits.  Did you know that some weirdo yankees and foreigners call that stuff "polenta?"
