All my trend attenae are shouting, it's time to return to pie. This week, Time Out Chicago writes about Hoosier Mama Pie opening in West Town. The owner, a former pastry chef from some of the most well-heeled joints in Cgo, decided to go back to her Indiana roots and return to pie. Yesterday, a group of colleagues decended on the counter at Apple Pan in LA. Magnificent burgers. Amazing Pie. Chunky layers of banana and whipped-from-scratch cream! Sitting at the counter, I felt we were channeling that famous painting, Nighthawks. Even the sound of the slamming screen door at the front of the restaurant just seemed "right." There's something so comforting, so retro about pie in these times!
Side-note: both of these pie restaurants trace their food culture back to Indiana pie traditions.
