Foodie Girls Lunch Brigadge - Episode 28: Bonus Pie Visit

Enough with the semifreddos and ginger bark.
After our upscale lunch, we wanted a good old fashioned dessert, so FG6 and I headed over to The Pie Hole.

Located across from Wurstküche in the downtown arts district, The Pie Hole had been in my dreams since reading this review.

 Imagine our distress when we saw this sign out front!

But then the proprietress said they could get us slices to go.  Yes!!

  

On the left, maple custard.  On the right, Mexican chocolate.

To quote Agent Dale Cooper*:

"This must be where pies go when they die."

"Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair or two cups of good hot black coffee. Like this." - Another one from Agent Cooper

 

Or pie like this.

Go**.

* Having a Twin Peaks moment here.

Sheriff Truman: Lucy, you'd better bring Agent Cooper up to date.

Lucy Moran: Leo Johnson was shot, Jacques Renault was strangled, the mill burned, Shelley and Pete got smoke inhalation, Catherine and Josie are missing, Nadine is in a coma from taking sleeping pills.

Dale Cooper: How long have I been out?

Sheriff Truman: Six hours.

-- From Episode 8

Shelly: Would you like some pie?
Gordon: MASSIVE, MASSIVE QUANTITIES AND A GLASS OF WATER, SWEETHEART. MY SOCKS ARE ON FIRE.
Shelly: Do you want some more pie? A whole pie?
Gordon: YES I WOULD MISS JOHNSON. AND A PIECE OF PAPER AND A PENCIL. I PLAN ON WRITING AN EPIC POEM ABOUT THIS GORGEOUS PIE.

** Not just for the silky smooth, intense cinnamon-laced chocolate with espresso whipped cream on top, or the sweet custard heaven that is that maple slice.  They are really nice people.  When we tapped on the door of the shop after we swooned over the pie, there were mops everywhere, and the woman in the pink sweater came out looking stressed.

Us:  We just wanted to tell you that was probably the best pie we've ever eaten.  Thank you so much!
Her:  Oh my god.  Can I hug you?

Damn fine pie.
