It's 8:30pm, and lavendargrrl has just been stricken by a sudden and overpowering craving for pie.

We live in St. Louis, where since the demise of Tippin's there are no longer any Pie Restaurant chains. There's never been Baker's Square here (nor Poppin Fresh, its prior incarnation).

Searching google and the various restaurant search websites returned only a couple of possibilities, none of them open past 3 pm. Finally, after calling ona_tangent and beckyzoole for suggestions and failing there too, we thought of Denny's. None of us care for it, but we thought that for pie it might be passable.

But then we had another idea. Bob Evans serves pie, they even have carryout whole pies! And off we went to our nearest Bob Evans, where we found pie that didn't suck at all. Not a lot of choices, but the ones we had were quite tasty.

If we win tonight's Powerball, we'll enter into negotiations to open a pie restaurant franchise. St. Louis has Dire Lack of Pie, especially late night pie. This must be remedied.

'Tis true. Some of them are quite good, too. But donut shops are also a daylight critter. Except for Krispy Kreme, which I dislike, they're mostly open from dawn to noon.
