The Best Pies in America: The Serious Eats Pie Honor Roll
The best pie in the world is Yoder's in Sarasota, Florida!

I believe that shrimp & grits are healthy because the last time I ate them, I was at my mom's house and the memory my heart happy, therefore, healthy!!

Wow, I just found this site - it looks great~!!
We love these potatoes from Flemings Steak House here in Sarasota - i've made the recipe but was not brave enough to put the plastic wrap in the oven?!!
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse Potatoes
1-1/2 C. heavy cream
1 C. half-and-half
2 t. salt
2 t. black pepper, finely ground
1 small jalapeño
3 oz. leeks
3 C. cheddar cheese, grated
4 lbs. russet potatoes
Heat cream and half-and-half in large sauce pot on medium high heat to simmer. Add salt and black pepper.
Finely dice the jalapeño. Cut off ends of leeks, clean them and dice only the bottom 3
inches of leek into 1/2-inch dice. Place jalapeños and leeks in a large mixing bowl. When cream is hot, remove from heat, add cheddar cheese and blend in thoroughly.
Peel potatoes and slice into 1/4-inch-thick circles on a mandoline slicer, by hand or with the slicing blade of a food processor. Combine potatoes and cream mixture in mixing bowl with leeks and jalapeño and mix well.
Spray sides and bottom of a 9 x 12-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place potato mixture in pan and evenly distribute the potatoes.
Cover with plastic wrap and then with aluminum foil. Bake in 350°F. oven for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove wrap and foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes to brown top.
6 to 8 servings.

NOOOO! Oh my god, it's not on there. The Park Cafe in Saint Mary, Montana, right outside the entrance to Glacier National Park. You have no idea what you're missing. It's almost good enough to make me move to Montana. It's one of those places where, for the rest of your life, you'll be saying "oh lord, remember that pie place? what was it called? it was soooooo good." There's a couple of OK pie places around here (Zingerman's, a branch of the Grand Traverse Pie Company, and some good stuff in Detroit) but nothing I've ever had hold a candle to this place. It's beyond comprehension.

Hi, Ed,
Just reading some of past entries on here and was excited to see an entry on pies. One place to add to your list should have the opportunity to visit Round Top, Texas (a small Antique-festival community about 1.5 hours from Austin): Royer's Round Top Cafe. A finer slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie I have never had. Their bacon-wrapped, shrimp-stuffed quail also leave an impression.
Hope ya enjoyed the 3D U2 movie. Was quite an effect to witness a concert video like that.

The list would not be complete without the Key Lime Pie from the Blonde Giraffe in Key West. They have won their local contest for many years. A visit to the Florida Keys would not be complete without a piece of their pie!

In the L.A. area, Jongewaard's Bake and Broil, just off the 405 near Atlantic Blvd in Long Beach, CA is better than both the better known Pie N' Burger and Du-Par's, IMHO.

Great list... though I've been so disappointed with Soutine's pies and tarts over the past few holidays that I don't think I'll be going back. I'll have to give some of the other NYC establishments here a try.

Zingerman's Bakehouse, in Ann Arbor, Michigan makes fabulous pie (among all of their other fabulous baked goods).

Hey, y'all! I think, by way of his throw-down, palatineboor just invited all us Serious Eaters to come have his wife's pie in August!

I second Duarte's in Pescadero! Their ollalieberry pie is amazing - and the apricot pie is wonderful as well. But I must say, I'm saddened that pie from within San Francisco's city limits didn't make the list. I love pie...and I love S.F., but I guess we just aren't a pie city.

Please, please have a slice of pie and a cup of coffee (for $3!) during pie happy hour at the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls, TX. I usually go for Coconut Creme, but you can't really make a bad choice. You won't regret it.
