"In February, I chatted with superstar baker Christina Tosi about the talented Maya-Camille Broussard, who appeared on Tosi’s reality baking show, Bake Squad. Broussard is known for her sweet pies, but I felt her mastery of savory was underrated, and Tosi started snapping her fingers in agreement after seeing Broussard’s skills in action. Justice of the Pies is a love letter to Chicago: there’s not a lot of seating, but the pastries and quiches are out of this world, and Broussard puts a lot of care into her craft. In 2025, when new bakeries are debuting seemingly every month with customers lining up and waiting for hours, you want to escape the big, dumb line? Head out to Marynook." - Ashok Selvam
