This past Saturday, Los Angeles celebrated the KCRW 4th Annual Good Food Pie Contest at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). Chrystal and I won first place in the savory pie category a few years ago during the contest’s inaugural year, and we also entered the following year. When we got word of the upcoming competition, we thought, “Hey, why not, let’s give another go.” It would be fun to come up with a whole new pie creation and try to finish in the sweet department.

All of the suggestions really helped to lead us in the perfect direction of a pie–a pie that we would submit to KCRW’s Good Food Blog Pie-a-Day section. Last year, we submitted a Pineapple Haupia Pie, but this year’s sweet would be totally different.
