"Lee’s Bakery, which is over 30 years old, is famous for its custard pies; it sells almost 3,000 of them each Thanksgiving. In pre-pandemic years, the bakery didn’t take preorders, prompting hours-long lines outside (and at least one instance of a customer camping out overnight), but now you can preorder a pie. Ideally, pick one up just after 8 a.m., when they emerge from the oven. But even cold, it’s wonderful — a smooth-as-silk custard, just barely firm enough to be sliced, cradled in a tender crust." - Martha Cheng
