Today is the final day. I’ll start by thanking the ladies for these beautiful flowers, candy and a wonder card. Definitely not expected, but very much appreciated. It been a lot of ups and downs these last few weeks, I’m a little heartbroken and sad, but at the same time I’m feeling a little less stressed and relaxed as I can be. It’s been a great 2+ years and I couldn’t be more appreciative of the wonderful people that have been in. Hopefully I met and exceeded the expectations that people may have had. Keep an eye out for the future and where I end up, I’ll keep you updated right here on this page. With that, today’s soups are the Chicken n Dumplings and a Dill Pickle soup. Something traditional and something way out of the box, pretty much sums it up right there. Thank you all for the love, support and patronage. Be sure to stop by and support all your local small businesses, they could all use it. And if you really need to find me, you can message me, or check wit they’ll know where to find me.

It’s my second to last day and I’ve got another banger in the soup pot, Coconut Chicken Curry soup. This one is packing some heat with it, if you can’t handle the heat, the Broccoli Cheddar is probably suited for you. The Billy Cheesesteak is the sandwich of the day. And I’m prepping up the soups for tomorrow, the Friday staple, Chicken n Dumplings, and the Dill Pickle soup. That’s for Friday March 15.

It’s a new sandwich special and soup day at the cafe. How about a Peanut Butter Pickle Bacon Burger? It’s got that sweet and savory all in one bite. Crispy Bacon, grilled onions, crunchy dill pickle chips and a sweet and spicy peanut butter spread. 😍 The new soup for today is the White Bean Chicken Chili. The burger special is for Thursday and Friday only, but it might appear at a city park near you!?
