KEEP YOUR FORK, THERE'S PIE!

I'd heard about Brooklyn's Four & Twenty Blackbirds pie shop back in Los Angeles, but despite my many visits to New York I never seemed to make it there. This morning I woke up determined to make the trek to Gowanus for a taste of one of their homespun offerings - specifically the Salty Caramel Apple pie. Only, with options like Sour Cherry and Blueberry Rhubarb Crumble... how's a pie lover to choose? It was the Salty Honey pie that finally won out. It simply sounded too delicious to resist. I wasn't disappointed. Paired with fresh whipped cream, every scrumptious bite of this custard pie was like balm to my soul. One of the best pies I've ever eaten.
