PIE PALOOZA EVOLVES: NEW SEASON, NEW VENUE, NEW OPTIONS
Madison’s most popular pie party moves to a new time of year and new location this year, but the event continues to showcase locally grown ingredients and talented professional chefs.
The fifth annual Pie Palooza – a celebration of sweet and savory concoctions, sold by the slice or entire pie – will be held 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Nov. 8th, 2009, at Goodman Community Center, 149 Waubesa St. The event has more than doubled in size since its inception, and at least 20 local businesses will donate pies.
A ticket to this delicious and unconventional Sunday brunch covers a choice of two slices of pie (sweet and savory), a farm-fresh salad and beverage. Previous Pie Paloozas have attracted sellout crowds, and this year is expected to be no different. Tickets sell for $16 in advance and $18 at the door. (Order online at www.reapfoodgroup.org, or call the REAP office to purchase in person. 608/310-7836.)
New this year: Prepare for Thanksgiving by pre-purchasing an entire, ready-to-freeze pumpkin or apple pie for $15. Online orders for these two kinds of pies will be taken before Pie Palooza at www.reapfoodgroup.org.
Expect by-the-slice selections to again be wide-ranging. Savory pie choices will appeal to
vegetarians and meat lovers. Sweet pies will include traditional favorites and innovative
creations. Examples include Savory Root Vegetable Pie from Sophia’s Bakery & Cafe, Poached Pear Pie from Fresco, Napoli Cheese Prosciutto Pie from Lombardino’s and Apple Crisp
Cheesecake from Grace’s Cheesecakes. Keep an eye on www.reapfoodgroup.org for the most
up-to-date list of pie donors.
Admission to Pie Palooza will be by timed entry (during three one-hour slots; walk-ups welcome
from 12:30-1 p.m.).
All proceeds from Pie Palooza support REAP Food Group programs, which promote the
inclusion of healthy, local, sustainably grown foods in schools, restaurants, grocery stores and
home kitchens. Find more information at reapfoodgroup.org or by calling 608/310-7836.
