"Abu’s Bean Pie Company in Bed-Stuy has been perfecting its bean pie recipe for over 20 years, and it shows. For the uninitiated, bean pies are usually made from navy beans, and are said to be the only Muslim American food in existence. They’re also delicious—four inches of custardy bottoms and golden brown top layers that are the texture of sweet, edible sand—and hard to find in the city, except at Abu’s." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, sonal shah, hannah albertine, neha talreja
