Thank you to Michael and the entire crew at Bang Bang Pie & Biscuits for letting me into their kitchen. It's such a magical place, I'm totally in love. Awesome biscuits! Awesome bacon! Awesome fancy grits and awesome pies! People of Chicago, you're pretty darn lucky.
Recently I got the chance to visit the new Four & Twenty Blackbirds space, which is much bigger than their original location. There's a separate room where people are just making pie dough while the main area has space for 4-5 work stations for the pie bakers.
Allswell, Brooklyn
You know I love eating at Allswell so I don't have to shower you with romantic words about my recent meal in which I had baked clams, oysters, seared beef tongue with egg salad crostini, fluke carpaccio with preserved lemon, tomamto and creme fraiche, burger and plum and concord grape pie.
