What's Hot on Pies' Menu?  Lahvosh!
Gooey Butter Cake
Lahvosh is a thin, crisp bread native to Armenia. When fresh, lahvosh is like a very thin flat bread and it is soft and flexible. As the bread ages, it becomes more crisp and cracker like.  At Pies & Plates we don't wait for the bread to age to crisp up, we make it crispy by double baking it!  Then we top it with amazing fresh ingredients and savory sauces.  It's delish!  
 
We offer three kinds of Lahvosh - Spicy Thai Beef, Chipotle Bacon and Vegetarian! 
 
The Vegetarian is our most popular!  It's a crisp Armenian flat bread painted with roasted red pepper aoili and topped with artichoke hearts, scallions and sun-dried tomatoes then drizzled with humus and topped with creamy Havarti cheese.  We pop it in the oven and toast to a dark crispy crunch and serve it with a garden salad and your choice of dressing.
Our Best Selling Salad - The Hunter's Salad
 
Since most locals enjoy fishing we thought we'd create a Hunter's Salad!   No it doesn't make sense...but things rarely do around here!  Just go with the flow...you'll love this salad!
 
Hunters Salad:  A bed of spring greens mixed with crunchy romaine topped with chilled grilled chicken, pecans, Feta cheese, craisins, red onions and served with a Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette!  Yum!
What is a Gooey Butter Cake? 
 
Coconut Gooey with Whipping Cream
Gooey butter cake is a type of cake traditionally made in the U.S. city of St. Louis, Missouri, with a bottom layer of yeasty yellow cake and a top layer of  egg, cream cheese, butter and sugar. In St. Louis it is generally served as a type of coffee cake for breakfast. The cake was supposedly first made by accident in the 1930s by a St. Louis-area German American baker who was trying to make regular cake batter but reversed the proportions of sugar and flour.  More recently, the cake has been popularized by Food Net Work celebrity chef Paula Deen. As you know, she's very fond of butter! 
 
 
Pies & Plates introduced the gooey dessert to its guests in 2009 and it was an immediate hit!  But, we didn't stop with the original gooey butter cake - what fun would that be?  No, we just keep tinkering with the recipe making it better and better!  So far, we have created over 40 different flavors of Gooey Butter Cakes!  We even offer Low Sugar and Gluten free gooeys in our bakery cafe!
