"Known for its pies, Fat + Flour will host a collaboration with chef Beau Schooler to make corn dogs using Fripper Sausages." - Mona Holmes
"Nicole Rucker’s lauded pie shop Fat + Flour delighted Angelenos when it opened up a permanent counter at Grand Central Market in 2020. In late 2023, when Rucker opened a standalone bakery on a quieter stretch of Washington Boulevard in Culver City, Westsiders also celebrated. Fat + Flour offers indoor seating, shoppable items like kitchenware and cookbooks, and of course, the pies that put Rucker on the map. Flavors rotate, but you can’t go wrong with classics like chess pie with decadent chocolate custard or the cult-favorite Key lime with its towering sour cream-tinged whipped cream and salted graham cracker crust. The gluten-free cosmic brownie is so rich that it may have to be eaten in phases." - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang
"While eating the pies and baked goods from Fat + Flour you might get hit with a wave of déjà vu. Maybe you’ve eaten it in a parallel universe, but most likely it’s because you've had Nicole Rucker's treats from one of the many places she's baked around town. Now in Culver City as well as a stall in DTLA's Grand Central Market, she's doing her signature pies back in flavors like rhubarb cherry and whipped-cream-topped Key lime topped with whipped cream, as well as a variety of chewy brownies and sprinkle-topped cookies. Pies are sold by the slice, but you can preorder them whole through their website. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
"Fat & Flour is heaven for pie people. Whether you visit the stand in Grand Central Market or the counter-service cafe in Culver City, you’ll be met with a glass case full of fresh-baked slices with shattering, golden crusts. The fruit pies rotate with the seasons, like strawberry rhubarb crumble, sour cherry double crust, and a summer peach pie that sells out quicker than a sneaker release. But the star of the show is the creamy key lime, a menu mainstay that nails the sweet-tart balance. Slices can be picked up the day of, but whole pies must be ordered in advance. If you’re not feeling up for a pie, they also have some impressive cookies, scones, and the occasional quiche and/or sandwich." - nikko duren, sylvio martins
"Nicole Rucker’s baked goods are on everyone’s radar thanks to her 2019 cookbook, two LA locations — including one in Grand Central Market — and her notable chocolate chess pie. Rucker’s banana cream pies, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies are typically top sellers. The Culver City menu includes savory scones and another prepared with blueberry and brown sugar, house-made granola, and salads." - Eater Staff
