Jeff and Todd

Where it all began...

  1. So Jeff and I love a good pie. Travelling as we do with Osler, now and again we've had the chance to sample the local fare. Not the mass produced variety, but the little bundles of love you can only get in a local pie shop or bakery.
  2. This all started as a running joke. As we made our way back up the Bruce Highway to the Sunshine Coast after yet another Brisbane trip, we passed "The World Famous Beefy's Pies". Resisting the urge, we vowed to save our Beefy's for a special occasion, perhaps our first sale. Everytime we passed Beefy's en route to home, we gazed longingly out the window, the car almost steering itself down the offramp. But we held firm, even when our colleagues threatened to sabotage our mission.
  3. With our first sale behind us it was time to break our duck. Beefy's didn't disappoint. In the glorious afternoon sunshine in May, Jeff tucked into a chunky beef, while I got stuck into my favorite, a steak, bacon and cheese. Mmmmmm.

    1. And so it began. Our mission now to document our Pie Cruise as we travel our home state, our nation and the world at large.
    2. Our mission? A parallel, cross-over systematic analysis of selected pie shops in our Osler journey

Yatala, Queensland

  1. June 28th 2016

    Couldn't help ourselves. Another trip down to the beautiful Gold Coast, it's 3pm and we're still lunch-deficient. We can hear the World Famous Yatala Pie Shop calling to us. "Jeeeeeeff, Toooooodd, come and eeeeeat meeeee".
  2. Yatala was a convict settlement back in 1871 and has been a stopping point for travellers ever since. It's about the perfect distance for a quick pie en route to the "worlds" down on the Gold Coast. The pie business itself is almost as old. While they are no longer in the original bakery building, they did bring the old ceramic ovens with them, which is pretty cool.
  3. We're going for favourites today. Jeff bags a chunky steak and I've got myself a steak, cheese and bacon. The verdict?  
  4. Another successful mission

  5. Chunky Steak gets a 4.0/5 Osler Pie rating - gaining points for taste and size, but marked down for being ever so slightly overcooked.
  6. SBC gets a cooler reception, winning a 3.5/5. Perfect in size and beautiful gravy, just not quite enough bacon in the mix.
  7. Spooky!
    Spooky!
