Chow It’s National Coconut Cream Pie Day
posted by on May 8 at 10:02 AM
For real. (National Apple Pie Day is coming up: May 13). My favorite version is the Triple Coconut Cream Pie at Etta’s on Western near the market. The recipe (I’ve not attempted it since a slice is so easy to procure) is available in Tom Douglas’ Seattle Kitchen cookbook (an all-around great resource for locals; the crab-cake recipe is a foolproof). But back to the pie… the Dahlia Bakery (Fourth and Virginia) makes the masterpiece and sells it in four sizes: a nine-inch pie (serves 6-8, $32), four-inch baby pie (serves 2-4, $15), by the slice ($4.40), and a bite-sized mini pie ($2).
Anyone who works near there and is coming to Slog Happy tonight should bring me a slice! I will repay you and buy you a drink for your trouble.
I may be the answer to your dreams, depending on my 4 oclock meeting. :)
You are an evil, evil human being. It is almost lunch time, I am starving, and you tempt me with that. I used to work near Dahlia's but I'm up in the U district now. Pout.
Please, bring pie.
Bribing judges is a long and honorable tradition ...
$32 for a 9-inch pie? Never!
Oh, bauhaus, you say that, but you must never have had a piece of it...
...we just burned through one this past weekend. the shit is good.
...and it's actually $5 more because you have to pay the deposit on the pie plate.
...it's still well worth it.
I've had some mighty righteous coconut cream pies in my day, but never have I had one worth $32. I'd rather make one myself - and for $32 I could make three.
And for chrissake - for $32 couldn't they throw in the fucking pie plate?
I think I have to make a coconut cream pie now.
Why don't they do Apple Pie Day in the fall?
