GRAND TRAVERSE CO. -- Locals (click here) have long known the power of a Grand Traverse Pie Company pie, but now the legend has grown.
Alison Spiegel of the Huffington Post Taste recently reviewed the company's Chocolate Stout Pie and claimed it is worth relocating to Traverse City.
The pie has four layers containing chocolate mousse, chocolate ganache, a flaky crust and meringue drizzled with chocolate stout ganache.
Drooling, yet?
The stout in the pie is also a Traverse City delicacy - the CEO Stout from Right Brain Brewery....
Not unlike other Michigan towns, Traverse City has mastered the are of 'local economy.' For every major national brand there is a local merchant outclassing them.
Just for example, the "Pie of the Month" is the one reviewed by Ms. Cook, "Chocolate Stout Pie." (click here). The ingredients are all wholesome and natural.
There are pie shops all over Michigan now. (click here) These shops do not mass produce their pies and receive refrigerator trucks full of pies for sale that day. The pies are baked on site and 'same day fresh.' The company is excited to be reviewed by Huff Post and so are their customers.
