Red Clay is open
In case you haven't seen Jenny Boone's blog today, she reports that Red Clay, a restaurant that has taken the place of the former "The Mix" on Campbell Ave., is now open.
Before you assume that Red Clay will be another in a line of failed restaurants in that building, consider that there's already a successful Red Clay restaurant in Rocky Mount, so the owners are not new to the business.
Jenny's blog entry links to the Red Clay menu, which is broken into three sections at lunch. Those are the $6.50 choices, the $7.50 choices and the $8.50 choices. Those range from a basic burger or blackened chicken sandwich to homemade pasta dishes and comfort food classics like pork chops and fried chicken.
The dinner menu also offers a variety of options, and some of the prices are really affordable. I think the highest price I saw was $25 for the surf 'n' turf, but most were under $20. That's going to help them in this economy, I would think.
If you try it out, let me know what you think.
Don't miss the pasta rosa, it is awesome! Homemade pasta never goes to waste. The balsamic vinegar Monaco salad is another great choice! I wish them all the best success.

Home made everything! Great prices...The clay potatoes are excellent and my favorite wrap is the steak and spinach wrap with mango salsa. Yum!

Is this the same menu as in Rocky Mount? The one down there has Shoney's food with 4-star prices. I'll check it out.
