Every state’s signature type of pie

View this email in your browser Hello everyone, While turkey gets much of the attention this time of year, there's a sweeter, more regionally specific food that's also on everyone's minds: pie. Mostly because it's delicious, but partly because everywhere has its own little twist on how it does pie. We dug through government documents, spoke with bakers, and researched traditions to find the one signature type of pie for every state in the United States of America. Elsewhere in the world, there are plenty of places for the pie loving soul. Here are nine notable pies from Europe, Africa, South America, and more. (Take note that much of the world prefers savory pies to sweet pies.) We've also got two stories to help you understand that oh-so-overused saying, "as American as apple pie." One on how the most American thing about apple pie is its global origin story, and a second on a historian's perspective of why the saying should really be, "as American as pumpkin pie." Finally, if you need any more excuses to eat and think about pie, learn about American culture and history through the timeline and lens of these seven iconic pies. You know, for the sake of education. Enjoy your pie and everything else on the table this week, Nickolaus Hines, food and drink editor FOOD + DRINK The signature, iconic pie for every state in the US The United States is a pie-loving country. We eat it for dessert and the leftovers for breakfast. We argue about how and if to make homemade crust (and usually eat it regardless). We especially love pie around the holidays. These are the signature pies for every state in the US.

The city's food scene has exploded in the last five to 10 years, with new innovative eateries popping up all the time as locals scramble to sample the latest flavor. Much like its transplant population, the eats here are ever evolving and diverse. Yes, you'll find Southern influences on menus (shrimp and grits, fried chicken, pimento cheese, etc.), but you'll also find restaurants inspired by the cuisines of France, Spain, Italy, Mexico, India, and Japan, not to mention plenty of farm-to-table contemporary American cuisine. Perhaps the best displays of the city's varied fare are at its popular food halls, Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market, where just about any craving can be satisfied. Thanks to the popularity of the Atlanta Eastside Beltline Trail, a new rails-to-trails walking/biking path, much restaurant development has been focused in the Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park neighborhoods, where diners can use the path to bounce from one spot to another. That's not to say the rest of the city isn't worth exploring for food. The whole city is dense with exceptional restaurants, not to mention shops, art galleries, cocktail bars, and pubs, so pick a food spot that sounds delicious and then explore the area around it.
