More Pies in LA

 Pie #36-37

While in Los Angeles, we asked the Google for the top pies in the LA area. Below are two of the pies that were on that list. We stop at Cake Monkey and had the most amazing apple pie I have ever had. The cider soaked apples fill the most amazing double cheddar crust. I cannot brag about this pie enough. It was so, so very good. My preference on pie is the filling. Zane's preference on pie is the crust. We make a good team because I always get the point and he always gets the leftover crust. However, we battled over this piece of pie. The filling and crust together were a perfect match and I had to distract Zane so I could have the final bite. Thankfully, he loves me and didn't get too upset. However, we should have purchased the entire pie. It was THAT good. Go get this pie!!

Another place on the list was Pie 'N Burger in Pasadena. It has been around since 1963 and I think the pie made the list for nostalgia reasons. I didn't think it was great. It was average. The place is a little hole in the wall with a long counter and a handful of tables. It was busy since the Rose Parade just finished and people were coming in for the Rose Bowl (we picked the wrong day to be in Pasadena) so I got the pie to go. I asked the server for their best pie and she recommended the boysenberry. So we got it. It was OKAY. I wouldn't go out of my way for it again and especially not during the Rose Bowl.
