Pie Party Potluck LIVE! 2012 10/25 6-9

“You should have been there.” That’s what I kept repeating to all the pie enthusiasts I talked to since our first Pie Party Potluck LIVE! event last year.

“Pie-eyed” means very drunk and that’s an apt description for all who attended this event, except we were not inebriated with alcohol, but with PIES!!! It could also be an appropriate term of the shape of our eyes as we feasted them upon the veritable sea of over 100 pies brought to Pie Party Potluck LIVE! by food bloggers and food professionals from all over the tri-state. Pies as far as the eyes could see.

I remember watching as the tarts, galettes, pop tarts, hand pies, quiches, empanadas, turnovers and pies of every shape and size arrived: Meat pies, sweet pies, savory, vegan, bacon stuffed, gluten free, donut covered, s’mores topped, caramel coated, fruit filled, cheese crusted PIES, PIES and more PIES! I’m pretty sure my mouth was agape and I was probably drooling.

I don’t usually get giddy, but I was totally giddy and thinking, “Oh my GOD!, What an awesome community to belong to!!! This is going to be the best event ever!” And it was. 

The food bloggers, food writers, food entrepreneurs, chefs, bakers, restauranteurs, professional pie makers, food biz peeps and pie passionate folks who came to Pie Party Potluck LIVE! brought their A games to this event. If I’d been lucky to have a private audience with any of these fab individuals and their pies, at their homes, over a cup of tea, I would have been a lucky gal. But I was lucky a 100 times over because we were all together enjoying each other’s pies!

It was my favorite event of 2011 and you can see the Pie Party Potluck LIVE! recap with pics, a video and links here.

I feel a certain giddiness coming over me right now because it’s happening again!

PIE PARTY POTLUCK LIVE 2012

Pie Party Potluck LIVE is in October! And even though we loved Rodeo Bar (especially their terrific staff), this time it’s even better because we are gathering at GE Monogram Design Center. We’re eating pie in a kitchen appliance dream land! Pie people, talking about pie and eating pie in their native habitat!

The Twitter hash tag is #PiePartyGE

The GE Monogram Design Center is generously the presenting sponsor for this event. In addition to hosting it in their space their in house chef, Chef Tagere will be making hors and doing a pie crust making demo as well. Beverages will be provided as well.
