| - After my mouth scorching encounter with the beef rib pie a few weeks ago, We happened to be in Etobicoke on a rainy Saturday and right near the Pie Commission and I was ready to have another go at their delicious pies.
I'm taking one star off for the fact that they have raised the price of the beef rib pie to a 50 cent premium. Come on, guys... you have a great thing going and I can't see how raising the price by 50 cents per pie is a kind thing at this point in the game. These guys are about to get BIG and make A LOT of money through franchising. I can see (and taste it).
Frankly, I'm not sure I love the beef rib pie the best. Not only because it's hot steamy inside burned my lip making it look like I had a cold sore for a week, but the sweet potatoes are just mushy and add no texture. It says that there are mushrooms in the pie, but I found none last time.
Anyway, back to this time:
My boyfriend had the Beef and Ale Pie for the second time and it was spot on. This is hands down, my favourite pie so far, I had the Chicken Bacon Cheddar Mash, which I had avoided ordering previously as I thought it would be too carby with the pastry and the potatoes on the inside. I was happily surprised to find that the filling was a wonderful creamy mixture of all good things. The chicken was tender and delicious, enveloped by soft mashed potatoes, just a smoky hint of bacon and pockets of cheddar. This is what a chicken pie should be! This in now my second favourite pie!
They really have the delicious buttery pastry cornered. I see a Queen St West location within the next year. One good thing about Etobicoke is that the hipsters haven't discovered this place yet. But it's coming....
