When one of my coworkers mentioned the existence of a restaurant that serves NOTHING BUT PIE we all freaked out and had to go. Six of us made the trek on a Friday for lunch at The Loving Pie Company, and we were not disappointed. I almost squealed in delight as we pulled up to this adorable house-turned-pie-shop. It made me feel like I was stepping into a real-life Pushing Daisies Pie Hole.
For lunch, I decided on their Mac & Cheese Pie, and it was AMAZING. It was served hot, personally sized for one, and absolutely delicious. I scraped the little bowl clean! (Decided not to include that photo, because gluttony.) It was just as good as the homemade baked mac I make at home, so it's tempting me to throw a pie crust over the top of my normal recipe, in little ramekins!
For dessert, I took home their Chess Pie and Red Velvet Chess Pie. I've been on a buttermilk/chess pie kick for a while, for no reason in particular. Both were really good (the Red Velvet had a rich chocolate flavor) but I want to go back to try a fruit pie sometime. Heck, I want to come back and try a lot of things at this place.
I will warn you, it's a slow-paced meal, not a dine and dash kind of joint. You need to sit down and savor and enjoy the pie. Because PIE.
Oooh!! I need to go to there! I feel like I need only casually mention the phrase "Mac and cheese pie" and Jamie would be in the car ready to go!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, PUSHING DAISIES. I love that show, and I think I cried when it ended so soon. Secondly, I was just telling my husband that Charleston really should have a place that only serves pie. I would eat there every day. EVERY DAY. Only I'd probably skip straight to the dessert pies and leave the food pies for everyone else. I'm nice that way.
ReplyDeleteDO IT. I want to go back!
ReplyDeleteI was so upset too! It really was cancelled before its prime. I always felt it was magical.
