The 100 best dishes and drinks of 2015 On trend: Year of the pie
Pies were huge in 2015. Our favorite was the s’mores pie at Baker Miller (72). With a fudgy filling, graham cracker crust and fluffy marshmallow crown, it doesn’t emulate s’mores, it improves on them. Also try the sweet potato pie from Southern Pitch food truck (79) and key lime hibiscus pie at Spinning J Bakery & Soda Fountain (75).
