Alongside our s'mores episode, where we heard clever new ideas from a wise young Sporkful fan (and first member of the Sporkful Junior Eaters Society), Dan proposed an ingenious solution to core s'more problems. It addresses the structural deficiencies of the graham cracker, as well as the varied melting points of marshmallow and chocolate. Dan's now much-lauded solution involved employing pie crust as a vessel for the molten ingredients.
Now the New York Times is weighing in. Its prescription: ditch the flames and just bake the s'more experience into a pie, in this case one from First Prize Pies, currently racking up buzz at a new BBQ joint in Brooklyn. I can't vouch for the quality of the pie, but if it's half as good as the Asian neo-BBQ it's paired with at Fatty 'Cue, I'm going to need a slice very badly. /mg
