Unlike most of the foods that were cool for people to have sex with in the '90s, pie has aged pretty damn well, which is why Seattle's sweetest online slinger of encrusted goodness, A La Mode, is going offline with a minimalist concrete-floored spot in where else but a former doll shop, complete with a soda-fountain-style counter and over-sized windows looking into the kitchen so you can personally affirm that Jason Biggs' goods weren't anywhere near yours. ALMP's prepping sweet stuff that runs from:
Standard: Their takes on pie mainstays include a Key Lime topped w/ fresh cream/limes; a local/organic French Apple inspired by probably the only trip to the state fair not mandated by parents; and a weave-topped Marionberry & Hazelnut made with "the Cabernet of blackberries", which is considerably less cocaine-related than the Cabinet of Marion Barry's.
To Not-So-Standard: If when people say vanilla is their favorite ice cream, you punch them in the face, opt for edgier options like New Orleans-ish Bourbon Butterscotch w/ a vanilla wafer crust and cream filling made w/ a splash of said bourbon, a towering Mexican Chocolate Cream, or their famed Blue Hawaiian miniaturized pies-on-a-stick, also what you'll see if you opt to watch American Pie on a smartphone.
