I second that! Piedmont is unreal. The porkchop I had there was an
absolute culinary triumph. http://www.piedmontrestaurant.com/home.html

Another excellent porkchop to be had is at El Cuscatlero, a new
Guatemalan restaurant on Garret Road in Durham (near the 15-501
intersection, on the non-Bojangles side). They also have an amazing
mariachi band there every other Friday night, complete with two
trumpets and two violins!
