The Best Pies in America: The Serious Eats Pie Honor Roll
You must try the pies at The Jubilee Cafe in Kickapoo, Illinois if you're ever driving past on I-74. Well worth a stop, and definitely worthy of being on a "best of the Midwest" pie list.

I must say I was shocked to see a list for the Southeast without Smyrna, GA listed...Kenny's Key Lime Pie?
They make all their pies fresh at their facility in Smyrna, better than any pie I've ever had in Key West. They squeeze the fruit fresh on site, make an authentic crust and freeze them directly after juicing. You can taste the difference instantly. Thanks for the southeast list, I'm ready to hit the road! Anybody with me?

Wow, I didn't know donuts came in that form, Ande. Caramel fleur-de-sel sounds especially amazing.

I have three half-eaten (but not for long!) Dynamo donuts in front of me right now: chocolate spice, caramel fleur-de-sel, and lemon pistachio. Each one is better than the last. They absolutely rock!

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).
