I am down to a tablespoon, and can't find it anywhere locally in
Durham.

I know the restaurant closed but the sauce was being made and sold by
a separate company in RTP after the "dead birds in the vinegar tank"
episode.

Unorthodox flavor source? Animal cruelty? Details, please.

From the web:

As for Bullocks -- yes, their move was in the early 70s. They were
originally out Hillsborough where Morgan Motors is now. Their food
hasn't changed much -- I agree that 30-40 years ago, they were
challenged by the likes of Dillards on Fayetteville Street (the
restaurant is gone, but you can still buy Sam Dillard's barbeque sauce
in local grocery stores) and Turnages out Guess Road.

One final note ... as someone who still lives in Durham, it's hard to
believe how many Chinese places there are now. When I was in school,
there was a period where the China Palace, across the street from Jim's
Party Store on Hillsborough, was the only Chinese restaurant in town.
One spring they had a fire and until they re-opened five months later,
Durham was without Chinese food.

It was actually called the China Inn, and it was the best! Before that,
the only Chinese food in Durham was downtown. When I was little, it was
the Canton Station and a "train" would go through every few minutes.

I read in today's N&O that Faye Rodenhizer hasn't ruled out a return to
business in the future, so maybe a Pizza Palace will make a comeback
when the economy improves.

Remember when birds got into the furnace or something at Dillards and
there was a recall from all the stores b/c of feathers in the sauce?

Yes, it is still being sold...in some parts of NC at Food Lion. Another person told me at Piggly Wiggly, the web lead me to Harris Teeter, but haven't confirmed it yet?
