Detroit’s Sister Pie Announces Temporary Closure | Eater Detroit

"Founder Lisa Ludwinski — a cookbook author and 2019 James Beard Award finalist who previously worked for Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar — is pausing operations at her acclaimed pie bakery, which debuted in 2015 and quickly earned national recognition (including an Eater Young Gun nod). The shop will temporarily close to the general public, with Saturday, June 8 listed as the last day in its present incarnation, so Ludwinski can undertake “a period of rest and radical reconfiguration” amid concerns about a looming financial crisis and recession and her view that the business isn’t working in its current state. Although the duration and ultimate form of the relaunch are unknown, the space will still host occasional events and pop-ups, fulfill special orders, and offer baking classes, and she’s encouraging supporters to visit before the closure to help her staff." - Ashok Selvam
