If you need another reason to cram more pie into your face, you’re in luck…it’s National Pie Month! Which means it’s totally acceptable to consume a satisfyingly sweet slice of pie every day of this month if you so please. Luckily, one establishment has made it possible to do just that.
Nowadays, desserts at The Capital Bar & Grill are mostly being overseen and produced by Chef Matthew Dunn. He’s a young British chap with some serious baking talents, and he’s playing an important role at the hotel in developing and formulating many of the sweet options at both the Bar & Grill and One Eleven.
During February, Dunn and his crew are offering a new pie everyday. It’s certainly one of the most ambitious pie celebrations in the city…and it’s worth checking out as often as possible. (See the full schedule below.)
Dunn says most CBG guests tend to stick with the classics—apple, coconut, and chocolate pies are always the most popular offerings. But his personal favorite is the Banoffee (banana-toffee), which he says, “Always reminds me of being back in England.”
And for something a little more unique, he encourages diners to try the savory pies being served every Monday. “They’re a little different from what people are probably expecting from us,” he says, “and definitely come in of the 23rd to try the chicken pot pie.”
