Hoosier Mama Pie Shop Turned Me Into a Savory Pie Guy | Bon Appétit

"A Chicago-based mini chain owned by Paula Haney with a location in Evanston, Illinois, this bakery is celebrated for its savory pies that can convert even the most devoted sweet‑pie lovers. The chicken pot pie arrives in a flaky double crust laced with fresh thyme and is filled with shredded dark meat simmered in a cognac-spiked stock, tender onions, carrots and sweet peas all folded into a silken, peppery béchamel — warming, complex yet familiar. Regulars also rave about an ever-changing roster of flavors, from a smoky barbecue pork pie to a warming curry lamb, making it a comforting, adventurous destination for anyone discovering savory pies." - ByJesse Sparks
