"During my freshman year of college, right as the temperatures began to plummet below zero and the distance from my home in Houston started to feel real, I stumbled upon owner Paula Haney’s Chicago-based mini chain. I found it during a delicate time in my life, a time when so many of my peers were reimagining themselves for an entirely new environment. But while they dyed their hair or picked up a new hobby, I chose to rebrand myself in a very specific way: As a savory pie person. That fateful, frigid day, I ordered Hoosier Mama’s chicken pot pie and never looked back." - ByJesse Sparks
