Good morning, Coulee. And, Happy Friday. We have a packed edition of Good Morning, Coulee today. So, let’s get down to business.

🍴🥙 #ThatLooksGood

This week, on our first edition of #ThatLooksGood ever, we are pleased to feature Mia’s Kitchen.

Described as “Southern & Caribbean Twist Meals Made With Love”, Mia’s is quickly becoming a late night favorite in La Crosse.

It’s delicious—but words don’t do it justice. Take a look at one of Mia’s offerings:

Mia's BBQ Chicken Mac and Cheese with bacon topped with green onions. Behind that is Mia's Famous Chopped Cheese fries. Which includes hamburger meat, cheese sauce, bell peppers, onions, topped with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayonnaise.

Mia’s Kitchen is always changing locations. Check out their Facebook for information on where she is set up for the day!
