| - If you don't like pie, a part of my soul dies...plus I become inherently more suspicious of your baked good motives. But I digress, a drunk Sunday night brought a few of us here after everywhere else on Fremont was closed...to think, Vegas actually closes early on Sundays.
My brother and I split the Du-Par's Trio ($10.95) - ordering the split pea soup, corned beef sandwich, fries, and the Gooseberry Pie. The soup was the savory highlight, whereas the the sandwich and fries were merely subpar. The Gooseberry Pie is a phenomenon that still intrigues me a month after consuming it. It was tart and grape-like - making me ponder what the hell is a gooseberry anyways? My brother's friends ordered a slice of coconut cream pie and bread pudding. The former was delicious; the latter was slightly concerning. I love myself some bread pudding, but when it's warmed up via microwave, I'm a bit sketched out. But it was still delicious.
The food was unmemorable, but the pies were the highlight of the trip. It could be my extreme love for the baked good, but when a place has more pies than I have fingers to count the pies on, I get excited. Unfortunately, Du-Par's pies were not enough to justify such a lackluster visit otherwise.
