“Honeypie is a real sweetie”

After a lot of walking during Gallery Night, we were craving some kitchen magic. Honey Pie totally delivered! We started with the pork fries: a huge pile of fries covered in BBQ pork, jalapeños, cheese sauce, and bacon. The five of us fought over every sticky bite. Chili, a ham and cheese pasty, locally grown fresh salads...all were excellent. And strawberry shortcake on homemade shortbread for dessert? Unbelievable. This will be a regular stop for us.
