Pie, On a Stick
Dennis and I have this dream: It's opening a restaurant where everything is served on a stick. (I won't reveal all of our grand plans, but if anybody wants to fund this little project please let me know.) Like any good business prospect, ours involves extensive research and that research led us to Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pie-ery in Red Hook. Steve's done some of the work for us and devised a way transform his lovely Key lime pies into mini Key lime pie covered in chocolate and skewered on a stick. I want to emphasize that this is a real live crust-and-all Key lime pie under the chocolate. Also, it's really sweet, and should probably be shared with a friend. I have to give Steve credit for his ingenuity, but I found that the chocolate, crust and pie filling combination is a touch too sweet. Still, it's worth a bike/bus ride over there to see for yourself. Plus, as everybody knows, food on a stick is just more fun.

How far would you go with your menu? Are we talking meatloaf on a stick?
If I liked meatloaf, I'd consider it !
my friends and i were discussing "sides on a stick" - mashed potatoes with gravy dipping sauce... etc.
I went to the Georgia Renaissance Festival a few years back and found that they were serving Mac 'n Cheese on a stick. How this relates to renaissance era Europe, I have no idea.
Why do I think of the muffin top Seinfeld episode reading this post?
LOL
No ingenuity on his part ... key lime pie on a stick is famously made by The Blonde Giraffe in Key West. Plus, that guy's a total dick.
they do end up being a bit too sweet by the end...but the first bite is insanely perfect.
I never knew this place was open to the public! And they have PIES ON A STICK. Good lookin'
Yeah, the cook Paula Dean's boys have their own show on FOOD TV and they went to key west and showed a brazillian's woman's key lime pie on a stick concept--but if he added a frozen banana with choclate on a stick, i'd check it out...

"Plus, that guy's a total dick."
Hey Rich, twice so-far you've referred to me on the internet as a total dick, is there something else going on here that we should know about? I'll say the same thing here as I said on Chowhound; I work here 7-days a week, my primary purpose is to make and sell my product. I'm known for my key lime pies, not for our ambiance, not for my good manners or tea and chit-chat over lace doilies. There are places that excel in those areas and are known for those things. Likewise, I am not here to answer visitors endless questions about real-estate, sightseeing recommendations, water-taxi schedules, other tenants in my building, what duties my dog performs in the pie-production, when IKEA will open, where is the Queen Mary, etc, etc, etc. Nor in any way am I obliged to tolerate rude, obnoxious, overbearing people, or those who might wander through my doors and start aimlessly ambling into my warehouse. I suspect you may have left here with less than positive impressions because you fall into one of those groups.
Also Rich (may I call you Dick?), I guess your comment about "No ingenuity on his part" could apply to anyone who spins records for a living for that matter; someone did it first, but does that suggest that there isn't someone who can do it just as good or better?
