Under Brown Mountain Lights the Beast of Blandenboro wanders this magical land where lighthouses shine on kingdoms only accessible by ferries. A Lost Colony of legends and pirates revealed in historical sites and majestic mountains with views that make us weep. The home of handmade sculptures and scrumptious cuisine. North Carolina leaves this long-time writer and artist breathless with endless surprises, including the unlikely warmth a winter walk on the beach can bring.
Did you know The Mill Coffee and Eatery in Roanoke Rapids has a cult following menu item? With a specialty soup dedicated to each day of the week, Wednesday is normally the Roasted Pepper and Smoked Gouda Soup day, and if you don’t get there early it may be sold out. This divine creation draws in regulars and new guests to the creamy, warm delight — even in the summer months. And many of the employees are former students of the owner, a retired teacher, with developmental and intellectual disabilities working hard at their very first jobs. Let’s check it out.
The Mill Coffee and Eatery is celebrating its second anniversary.
On these upcoming frosty days, find time to duck in for something warm.
Some of the weekly soups of the day include lobster bisque, chili, chicken tortilla, broccoli and cheese, chicken and wild rice, baked potato and bacon, and chicken and sausage gumbo.
But to be sure, our favorite and that of the majority of eaters in the Roanoke Valley is the cult-following menu item Roasted Pepper And Smoked Gouda Soup.
