I have pie on the brain, which means an extra 30 minutes at the gym daily, now through December 24. I’m a sucker for a good pecan pie, and I’ve yet to find one I like more than the one made by New Orleans restaurateur-chef Frank Brigsten.
If the very idea of a great pie makes you swoon, see the current issue of 360 West magazine, and go to page 52! That’s where you’ll see my ode to pie. If you’re a pie person, you’ll totally get it. You cake people, I just don’t know. Sometimes I think we come from different planets – but that’s not to say I don’t love a good, rich chocolate carrot cake. Or the caramel cake I’m making for Thanksgiving next week to go with a buttermilk pie and a fudge pecan pie.
What’s on your pie plate for Thanksgiving?
