"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
"Inside this dentist's office-turned-bakery is the best key lime pie in the city, made better than the rest by the addition of strawberries and basil. Get a whole one, or get a slice and build your own pie flight to decide whether you like the lemon espresso or cucumber, mango, and chili lime versions better. Cakes, cookies, quiches, and banana pudding are on the menu too. Warm dishes like chicken pot pie are available after 11am, made even warmer by the friendliest conversations you’ll ever have with strangers." - veda kilaru, john ringor
"Bakery and community-minded venue hosting an Up South pop-up where two chefs will collaborate on dishes that explore the intersections and synchronicities between American Southern and Caribbean culinary roots." - Lisa Shames
"A beloved pie shop and cafe in Avalon Park led by Maya-Camille Broussard (a 2022 James Beard nominee for Outstanding Baker), offering an ever-changing, Southern-inspired selection of pies such as bourbon pecan, sweet potato, and chocolate chess that echo the region’s baking traditions." - Serena Maria Daniels
"A pie-focused operation near Chatham gaining attention as part of a wave of thrilling new baked-goods-focused businesses that emphasize bold, crowd-pleasing desserts." - Ashok Selvam
