I was suspect about the high prices as well but the savory slices (7.50 including tax) are as filling as a Taylor Sub so Im a believer— I suppose the first people buying Starbucks balked at the price and now its the norm.

This opening is amazing. A month ago, I actually blogged about wanting hipster chefs to abandon cupcakes in favor of other dessert shops, even outlining why a pie shop specifically would appeal to their sensibilities. And now here it is! Wonderful.

PLEASE OPEN A STORE ALONG 14th/U STREETS, PLS PLS PLS. (Don’t worry, we’re all working on that city cap on eateries). Tried their pie this wknd, and just about fainted. It’s that good.

The very best thickener for a fruit pie, sadly lacking here, is tapioca. The small kind of tapioca, not pearl tapioca (aka fish eyeballs). Good in bubble tea, not so much in pies.

A quarter cup in a 9″ cherry or blueberry pie is about right. Peach pie–maybe a heaping tablespoon. Same with strawberry-rhubarb.

Also the pie above seems to be lacking in vents in the top crust, especially around the perimeter.

That berry pie looks like a tutorial in how not to make pie… dry, under-browned crust with runny, watery filling. It looks like they’re either not putting enough flour/pectin/whatever in, or they’re serving them before they’re cool. Gross.

This Southerner has high standards for pie. I don’t think I’ll be dropping $28 for a watery mess there anytime soon.

Actually that’s the sour cherry pie. It was delicious.

It’s definitely recyclable, and for all we know, these pans could be made from recycled aluminum.

Not recycleable? I thought aluminum was by far the most recyclable material out there.

I did it last week….baltimore bomb on the employees recommendation. I wasn’t that impressed and really wanted to be. Crust was good, maybe just the wrong flavor
