honeypie cafe

In May 2018, on my way home from Madison WI, I spent the night in Milwaukee and had dinner at a nice looking dinner spot. They had a wide variety of pie and I had the cherry. It was the best pie I have ever had in my life, which is saying quite a lot.

The incredible thing is that it was probably not even the best pie they serve.

I posted to Facebook about this and my family were all indignant that the crown did not go to my aunt Linda's cherry pie. But I've never actually had her pie, so it's no insult to her that it's not the best I've had.

Nonetheless, her daughter considered her family honor to be on the line and issued a bake-off challenge. I figured I'd bring pie home with me the next time I passed through Milwaukee. That was going to be May 2020, but then it wasn't.

I'm starting to figure out plans for a rescheduled bake-off. With pie from Honeypie. If Linda's pie really is better it will be glorious.
