Yesterday was the fourth annual Pie in the Park competition. The number of contestants and pie eaters (voters) was quite overwhelming. I am not certain that I got them all but I do have highlights of some of the best and took notes as best as I could amongst the madness that ensued once the pie eaters were unleashed. The event was a lot of fun and I look forward to the 2011 competition.
Here are some of the pies (followed by my favorites):
