For the love of tacos, two of Chapel Hill’s most popular restaurants are joining forces. Al’s Burger Shack and Italian Pizzeria III sit side by side on West Franklin Street, one home to what’s been called America’s best burger, the other a Chapel Hill institution built on countless thousands of pizzas. Together they’ll open Yellow House Tacos later this year. (Durham Herald-Sun)
