Another great event! It was the perfect time of year to have the Picnic & Pies at the Park event at…read moreOrem's Mt. Timpanogos Park (Cottonwood Pavilion) with pies provided by The Crust Club (of Pleasant Grove). I love it when I can bring my wife to events ... having her able to go to events like this makes it a lot easier for me take photos every time we go out to eat! :)
It was a great family- and pet-friendly event! There were games (Cornhole and Ladder Golf) and the views of the mountains and vistas in the surrounding area to take advantage of. And then, the pies! The Crust Club is a winner.
What made the event great is there wasn't just a sugar-coma-inducing number of dessert pies.
The Crust Club's "Original" is their take on the Chicken Pot Pie. Yum! It was a heaping blend of chicken, carrots, sautéed onions, celery, and red potatoes that would warm even the coldest belly.
Their "The Shepard" is (not surprisingly) their take on the Shepard's Pie. Beef, vegetables, mashed potatoes, perfectly browned with a nice layer of crispy cheddar cheese on top. I've been to England, lived in England, and know a great Shep Pie when I have one. I've been going to Elizabeth's English Bakery/London Market for my Shepard's Pies here in Utah; this one was so good, I may have to switch to The Crust Club.
Their "Eggy Breaky" is their delectable blend of sausage, scrambled egg, and cheese may make my dream of breakfast for dinner a reality.
Then the sweet, lovely, mouth-watering dessert pies! There was their "Babies" mini-pie line: Raspberry Cheesecake, Rico Suave (a mix of milk and dark chocolate), Apple, and the rest. Let's just say I didn't leave hungry.
That crust, oh that crust. So good, I could just eat crust and be happy. Light and flaky brilliance.
The Yelpers were great to meet and re-meet. The cozy benches made sure we got up close and personal!
And, it's a broken record, but Chelsea C. did a great job setting up the event, and along with Jeffrey S. they were amazing hosts. A perfect choice as we had great food, a great sunset, and perfect weather. Thank you!
