It's National Pie Day! What else do you need to know? Nothing! Well, actually, two things.
1. Norma's Cafe is giving away slices of Oreo Mile-High Cream Pie all day. Dine-in only, while supplies last and all that good stuff. No fighting over pie. This brand-spanking-new pie is made with a "flaky crust, chocolate Oreo filling and meringue mixed with Oreo cookie bits piled a mile high." Norma, you rock.
2. Emporium Pies in the Bishop Arts District is serving three four-courses of pie today. They're staring with quiches in the morning, followed by meat pies for lunch and dinner. Then, of course, just regular ol' amazing pie for dessert.
