Pie Pilgrimages: Apple Pan

From Los Angeles Call us crazy, but we had to take a pie adventure the day after Thanksgiving. After all, here was CurvyMama, in Los Angeles for the holiday, and the legendary Apple Pan was just a 15-minute drive away. As a former Angeleno, I was well aware of the little shop’s hamburger fame. But until I read fellow piemaker Beth Howard’s memoir, I had no idea they were equally beloved for their cream pi

Pie Pilgrimages: Rima’s Diner

From Crescent Springs, Kentucky I could not let National Pi(e) Day go by without doing my duty as a member of Pie Nation. Had I not been obliged to go to Kentucky (yes, again) for work, I would have been celebrating Pi(e) Day in D.C. with fellow pie makers Tarts by Tarts (blogging as Nothing-In-The-House), who are throwing a cool local-radio-station fundraiser tonight. I couldn’t help with the baking from

Pie Pilgrimages: Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen

From Louisville, Ky. CurvyMama was delighted to find that one of the Pie Shops On Our List was in this city where my newspaper was actually paying me to go for a story. So when there was a lull in the action, I made an escape to Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen.

Pie Pilgrimages: Hoosier Mama Pie

From Chicago I smelled it before I saw it. And OhMyGod, did it smell good. If my recent visit to a pie shop in Virginia eroded my faith in finding good pie-making, Hoosier Mama restored it. So let me dispense with the quick facts and get on with it, cuz I’m dying to tell you about this gem of a place. Hoosier Mama Pie Company Chicago http://www.hoosiermamapie.com/ This two-year-old pie shop is a sweet, humble l

Pie Pilgrimages: Mom’s Apple Pie

From Leesburg, Va. CurvyMama’s got another pie-shop report for you. I hopped in my little cherry-red SUV on a glorious fall day and drove out to Leesburg, Virginia, picking up a friend along the way, to try the pie at a place whose name virtually defies a bad review: Mom’s Apple Pie Company Leesburg, Va. www.momsapplepieco.com I enlisted a pie-loving friend (who was kind enough to take time out of a famil

Pie Pilgrimages: The Pie Shop in Atlanta

We have our first pie shop review! As we said yesterday, when we posted our opening list of pie shops to try, we hope this will be the first review in a long series. As a proud member of Pie Nation, we want to do our bit to try as many pie shops as we can and tell you about them, so you can try them, too. If you want to be a member of CurvyMama’s PieTasting Posse, all you gotta do is visit a place that makes gr

Pie Shops On Our List

I spend far too many of my waking hours wishing I were somewhere else. A somewhere else that serves homemade pie. In service of my hope to begin years of Pie Pilgrimages, I am taking a tip from the Pie of the Month Club, which has compiled a Pie Map, pinpointing the exact locations of places that make our nation great. (My version is far more low-tech, of course, since I haven’t figured out a way to offer you a
