This Sunday - November 7th, REAP (research, education, action and policy on food group) is holding their annual Pie Palooza at the Goodman Community Center in Madison!
I've never been to this event, but this year I'll be volunteering and hope to sit down for brunch after my shift.
Local chefs and bakers create recipes for pies that range from very savory to very sweet! Some of the local chefs and bakers come from my favorite Madison restaurants. Hubbard Avenue Diner, Monty's Blue Plate, Crema Cafe and Lombardino's are all on the list of contributors! From the pie varieties on the REAP website, I'm hoping I can try the Autumn Harvest Quiche (w/ squash, onion, parsnips, spinach, and sweet potatotes) and the Pumpkin Pie (with hickory nuts and caramel)!

Tickets are $16.00 and can be purchased online. Pie is served in three separate seatings; 9:30-10:30am, 10:30-11:30am, and 11:30-12:30pm.
All proceeds support REAP programs in Southern Wisconsin. REAP is a local non-profit organization that supports sustainable agriculture. Their local programs help bring fresh local produce to classrooms and link farmers with business owners to get local produce into our restaurants. Events like this one help our community build a sustainable food system!
Sounds like a perfect way to warm up on a chilly Autumn morning!
