Today I’m adding Butter bakery, which is the first place I’ve found in Vancouver that really nails their pie. There’s a lot of so-so pie out there, you know? I wouldn’t kick it out of bed for eating crackers, but you seldom encounter the real thing outside of somebody’s kitchen, so any exception is a big deal.
It’s important to have a good place to get pie. Few things disappoint so deeply as average pie, especially when you’re out with friends late at night and need a good place to hang out and kibitz for an hour or three. There’s only so many merely-tolerable Denny’s or Village Inn pies one can bear to eat in a single lifetime. I’m lucky in that there’s two French bakeries near where I live that are – pardon my Latin – super-duper.
Coming back here after not following for probably years. Great to see you still at it! Always love the blog drawings!

Always fantastic to hear from you! I can’t believe it’s been well over 15 years, since that first old website.

Kibitzing! As vital as great pie and places named after butter. Loving any means to mentally escape to Canada right now, thank you very much.
