We are really looking forward to sharing with you all the exciting happenings at Manna Cafe in Chincoteague.
Manna Cafe was recently nominated on the Readers’ Digest website as one of the nicest places in America. We’ll hear how we can all help the team there officially win that title. We’re also stepping into the Kirby and Holloway Kitchen to learn how to make one of the cafe’s most popular dishes a Southwest Fiesta Bake.
