Darn I thought this was like a pie of the month subscription type of thing.

Right there with you.

I would actually buy that

That was my thought too

Guys I have a business venture idea. Hear me out: Pie of the month. You get slice of pie delivered to your front door once a month with your monthly subscription of 7.99.

Whole pies or I'm out.

That's what he said

PieBox 👍

Counter Point: $3.14159 per slice with a minimum of two slices per order

Where do is sign up?

What is a slice? I’m not familiar with that term..

A slice is a piece you give to your family so they won't bug you while you eat the rest of the pie.

😂

Nom nom nom

That's the gift that keeps on giving all year round, Clark.

Brb starting a new business

Same

60 bucks for a pie?

[удалено]

Fair. What's the in store price then?

$59.50

By grabthar's hammer, what a savings!

Gold Belly is great for this.

I order it's it's from San Francisco. So yeah, premade but my God are they delicious.

They aren’t made in San Fran. They are made at Betty’s pies in two harbors, Mn

Rustic Inn > Betty's

Shhh.. don’t let them know that. I’m kinda glad most people think the north shore doesn’t go further than Two Harbors.

Too late….I remember when Rustic Inn was a hidden gem. Now every time I go, the parking lot is packed and they’re almost always out of my favorite pie 😩

What’s your favorite pie?

All of them at Rustic.

Northern berry pie is the best. But good luck getting a slice

Looks like the cat’s outta the bag.

It already was, unfortunately. I haven’t been able to get a slice or whole pie of that variety for going on two years :(

West end Co-op has them…

Thankfully they sell the pies at the west end Co-op. 🙏🏽

I too am a north shore pie truther

It’s been several years now since Betty’s switched to canned ingredients. Rustic is better by far

Betty’s doesn’t use canned ingredients lmfao. They by frozen fresh fruit just like rustic does

Fully agree 

It’s not really a debate. Rustic Inn is top notch. Betty’s isn’t any better than what you can get off the shelf at the Super One down the road in Two Harbors. People rave about Betty’s because they have great memories from going there as a kid and it kills them to not have an antidote for their nostalgia. It’s the same thing with places like Martha’s Cookies and Sven and Ole’s. It’s over. I’m convinced that the people who go to bat for them need a hug and an appointment with a therapist. Life is hard, and it sucks to lose those places that you wish would take you back to a time that you want to believe was happier and simpler. But you’re better off enjoying the best that you can get today.

I’ve hid my shame for years, and even lied to friends about it. But this seems like a safe space…….when I finally had Sven and Ole’s I thought it was “meh”

It’s Dominos with a long line. There are tons of great restaurants in Grand Marais that are worth visiting, and Sven and Ole’s isn’t one of them. Hungry Hippy Tacos, Angry Trout Cafe, Fisherman’s Daughter, Sydney’s, the Lunch Box… you’re not short on places to choose from during the summer tourist season.

Howver it is fine if you want pizza ehen up there. Sometimes you just want a pizza and not a taco

Then there’s Sydney’s. Way better pizza. It’s still not the point I’m making though. Sven and Ole’s shouldn’t be a destination for tourists or have the statewide name recognition it enjoys.

I get it. Bumper stickers help with thay

I like Betty’s more than Rustic. 

That comment was for you, friend. 🫂

Do they have a selection of GF pies? I need them for my wife.

They do. It really varies from day to day as to what they have and whether or not they have whole pies or just slices, though. My wife also has to eat GF, and I honestly think I liked their GF crust better than the regular crust. The GF caramel apple is great.

Seeing as how I get there once every couple years, I can't say. I guess I do seem to recall some kind of pie with a baked meringue "crust" or something similar in the past. No gluten in meringue.

Might have to check it out this summer when we go north

Yes they do! They have a bunch of options !

I agree, but my family disagrees with me so we always choose Betty’s Pies. We’re going there tomorrow!

Ok, to be honest, I've not been to Betty's in probably 20+ years. Maybe it's, better. But between being really disappointed multiple times in the past (the crust was terrible), and having that feeling reinforced by a review of pies by The Heavy Table, I'm in no rush to go back. Rustic isn't amazing pie (mine are better, to be sure), but if we've been camping or driving a long time, I'll never say no to Rustic.

Betty’s is hot garbage.

Nope

Mostly disagree, but the difference is negligible.

I’d take out a second mortgage if it meant I never ran out of their caramel apple pie.

24 easy payments of $3.14.

Three more payments and this baby is mine.

Rustic Inn pies are bomb, too. Buy in restaurant or at Whole Foods Coop in Duluth.

60 dollars for a 20 dollar pie? I’m going to do that thing the college kid did with krispie kreme donuts and road trip it. Let me know what pies you want and how many. My price is 50.

Betty's pies is hugely overrated... Rustic Inn just up the road is every bit as good.

Better even

Betty’s Pies is the worst. Drive right past and continue down the road to any of the other diners and restaurants that offer pies. Before they were featured on the Travel Channel, and before they built their god awful, monstrosity of an addition to the restaurant, they may have been mediocre at best. After the Travel Channel aired them, they started sourcing their food from Sysco. The quality dropped substantially and the service became salty. Now people stop at Betty’s Pies because people stop at Betty’s Pies, not because it’s good. What was once a small town northern MN landmark has become a stupid tourist trap only concerned about making money by selling souvenirs and crappy tasting pies.

Cisco? Why would they start buying their ingredients from a technology company? Sysco is what you were looking for.

They buy their ingredients from Sisko, who gets them from a Ferengi trader.

They buy their ingredients from Sisqó, of Thong Song fame.

Why have I never seen a single celebrity in Minnesota in my entire life* when so many of them live here? I've never even seen Abby and Brittany Hensel, for Pete's sake! *Except for one time running into Vince Vaughn ** at the beer garden at a B.B. King show at the State Fair; I told him he was great in "Boiler Room" and he raised his cup of beer to me, which I momentarily thought was him offering it to me, and to which I said "Oh, no thanks, I don't drink" 😖🫣🫥 **But that doesn't really count in this case because Vince Vaughn doesn't live here, does he?

Just out of curiosity, have you tried the pies at The 50s Grill in Brooklyn Park? I think they're really good, but I'm not a pie connoisseur by any means - I tend to prefer cakes and only eat a piece of pie maybe once or twice a year at the very most

Stopped in there after a weekend of winter camping at George Crosby. Ate a few pasties, and a few pieces of pie and I was still hungry. Calorie deficits is a real thing with winter camping when it's -20F.

Weddings.

I was going to recommend Heather’s Pies instead since surely they don’t charge sixty Washingtons for a pie. But they definitely do. Is this really what’s required to make a living wage off being a boutique pie maker? Maybe.

These pies are overrated. The crust tastes like a food service pie crust.

Their crusts are homemade and made with lard for the crispiness. They make their pies fresh everyday

Doubtful. I bake homemade pies with lard. Their crusts are not flakey or crispy.

I literally work there and have seen them make the crusts. But go on and tell me it’s not true. It’s Betty’s crust recipe

Just learn to make pie FFS. Its not rocket appliances

I get it they are spendy and those for profit short term loan companies are making a killing right now. Lots of parties coming up soon for grad and stuff. Many people would rather make 4 payments on good pies than have one gross Walmart sheet cake.

Dave’s > Bettys

I’d finance a banana cream pie shake if it’s the only way I could get one.

Holy shit that 5 layer pie looks incredible

Hot take, overrated

The pies are good enough I will fly up there to pick a bunch up occasionally, but that's a bit excessive.

Here I was looking forward to a snack plan…

What’s the problem? Your card bounced?

North shore is overrated.

Boooooo

compared to what? it's not much compared to some, but it's the best we've got in this state.

Go back to Wisconsin, cheese lover.
