I Found Pie

  So last week I was trying to figure out something to do when my girlfriend got to D.C. to visit and I remembered that she had written "pie anything" on a birthday club list where they list what it type of pie or cake you want for your birthday.  Well we like to go around and eat cupcakes from different bakeries, wait a minute I'm getting off of the subject a little.  Anyway I had to ask what her favorite was.  She told me about five different flavors and so I started to look.
  All of the locals I asked live in another state, so I went to the Internet.  I accidentally called a law firm that had PIE in the name, who didn't appreciate the call, and stopped dialing just as I realized I was about to call a R.N. Who had the last name Pie as well.  Then I came across Dangerously Delicious Pies.  Well I had to try them out before I took Someone special there for a lunch date.  They are located on 1339 H street NE, Washington, D.C.  Remember NE it makes a difference here.   So I rode my bike their from Crystal City, Arlington, VA. It was hot and about 7 miles but it was worht it.  Oh what a Find! 
  

Pecan and Strawberry Rhubarb

  They have a serious selection of pie.   Savory, Quiche, and Sweet.  I had reserved a key lime to take to work and while I was waiting for them to bring it up i tried a piece of their crab ad cheddar quiche.  It was Bad Ass!  So cheesy and  the amount of crab that was packed into every bite was awesome.  I got the key lime to go, which by the way i don't recommend carrying a pie in one hand and riding a bike across town to the Kennedy Center.  This Key held up to the travel and the taste was at the top of the list of all the key lime I've ever had.  You can taste the rich butter in gram cracker crust.  And the consistency was so thick that I was able to cut it up into 16 pieces.  Everyone tried it and had to know where I had gotten it from.

BBQ Pork

Key Lime

  The next day at the end of the night I found out that it was a friends birthday who happens to love food,  so of course I had to go the next day and get him one.  Peach was the flavor Mark got for his birthday. The peaches were the freshest I've ever had in a pie.  It was truly better than any of the cobblers or pies I've had in Atlanta.  The crust on these babies is amazing.

  So finally at the end of the week on Sunday night Tia got into own and the next day we were off to get pie.  A quick train and short cab ride and we were there.   We had the pecan, the strawberry rhubarb, the bacon onion Gruyere quiche, the spinach goat cheese quiche and the BBQ pork.  They were chopping onions and it was visually uncomfortable for some so they opened the doors to ventilate a little better and were very apologetic.  We talked about all of there flavors which there are way to many to list and how the make them with natural fresh ingredients.  Because of the onions we sat in front of the store to start in couple of their rocking chairs.  The local bus runs right in front every 15 minutes or so.  On Friday and Saturday night they are open until 3:30 and have live music.  What a great experience and truly Bad Ass Food!
