Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
We're counting down the days to Pie Social 2011 -- 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 12 at 408 E. Roosevelt in downtown Phoenix. You can get in on the action yourself. Here are details for community bakers. And don't forget about our celebrity bakers -- every day we'll introduce you to a different one.
Today: Slade Grove of Slade Grove Creative Gourmet
Slade Grove's bakery churns out sweets that have been featured everywhere from the Oprah Winfrey Show to Martha Stewart Living. His motto: "Being a leader in over-the-top indulgence is our way of life."
Pie is the new cupcake because there is nothing better than a nice slice of pie to hit the spot any time of the year, any time of the day.
Find out how Slade would show his love for Congress, after the jump.
The hardest part about baking a pie is getting the crust just right. A crust can make or break a pie.
The Phoenix food scene needs more reasonably priced local flare eating establishments and less over-priced foo foo fad joints.
When I'm not in the kitchen, you can usually find me grabbling an iced latte at my favorite coffee spot - Lux on Central.
I'd like to throw a pie at every member of the U.S. Congress. Those children need to grow up.

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.
