Food Fight Poll: Who Bakes the Best Pies in Cranberry?

So what if you didn't name a specific pie? You definitely came through with nominations for the places that serve them.

The nominations are in, and now it's time to choose between pies at a down-on-the-farm kind of place and pies at a place where you can buy a pack of a hundred rolls of paper towels. The nominees for the Food Fight: Best Pies are Bob Evans restaurants and Costco. We love the hot, brown food and friendly atmosphere of Bob Evans, and we love to push our great big cart to the back of the store at Costco and stare at those enormous pies. And then, after much inner debate and sucking in of our stomachs, we lift one of the apple pies into the cart. So, which will it be? Bob? Costco? Bob Costas? Vote now.

I’m talking yogurt, folks. Greek yogurt to be specific. The Greeks took yogurt and kicked it up so many notches even Emeril Lagasse would be impressed. I’d love to share the exciting and exotic tale about how my love affair with this yogurt began on a romantic vacation in the Greek isles while dining barefoot, en plain air, at a quaint little seaside café. I would be making up that tale, though. This story begins at Costco. I was wandering the aisles one day and noticed a woman giving out samples of FAGE Greek yogurt (pronounced Fa-yeh, just like in that old ’…
