Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
We've been hinting for months, but now it's time to get out your calendars -- and your cookbooks -- and start planning for our Pie Social.
In case you haven't heard, Pie is the New Black -- and of course the trendsetters over on Roosevelt Row are on top of it. We're teaming up with them to put some new twists on an old-fashioned tradition: the pie social.
You are invited to bake up a storm and bring the results to 5th and Roosevelt streets November 13, in exchange for pie tasting tickets. (Download the application to enter and get all the details.) Or just come with $10 and an empty stomach -- and we'll do the rest.
We'll also have a celebrity chef pie contest and tasting, and what's a Pie Social without a pie eating contest? Go mouth-to-mouth with our own Zach Fowle of Feast of Fury fame.
Keep an eye on Chow Bella in the coming days for more details, including news about how to enter the pie eating contest and how to be named a guest judge.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
