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

Reader feedback

  1. Great to hear the feedback from some of our followers - its nice to know that people are enjoying our journey too!
  2. Hamish from Queensland writes :  My 2 favourites are Crescent Head Bakery, NSW and Hayden's Pies, Ulladulla, NSW if they are ever on your path. They both have a consistently excellent product (pepper steak is my yardstick, but the apple and Rhubarb at Hayden's is also worth a look) 
  3. Hackers from Victoria writes : Even though you get to travel with Mr Piehead, he is but an amateur.
    You need to try the Yarck pie shop on the way to Mt Buller or Annes Pantry in Whitehorse Road Balwyn.
    The "four n twenty" is still a fav as it manages the perfect heat and can be hoovered up in as little as four to five bits
    The Whinchelsea Bakery on the road to Colac is pretty good, and even the yarra glen bakery would get a 4/5
    Arrrr the pie - no need for fancy just give it meat, pastry and perhaps some onion

    Pie on

  4. Editor's note : thanks for the heads up boys. We'll keep you posted if we get to some of your favourites, and thanks for the recommendations.
