piecycle! piecycle! PIECYCLE!

[Please excuse the Queen musical reference. Quite easily one of the most annoying songs of all time, but in this case, it makes for an appropriate title.]


Today is National Pie Day (I know, I know, March 14 is the alternative Pie Day). As an avid pie baker and consumer, I am pleased to submit for consideration my nomination for a National Pie Day Hero:

Max Kraushaar, photographed above and known by his Twitter handle @thepiecycle, is a Seattle-based artist who on Friday and Saturday nights, makes homemade pie house calls in the University District on, you guessed it, his bicycle.

Kraushaar's been getting some good press lately, and I have a feeling with the current ascendancy of pie (High 5 Pie is less than a month old in Capitol Hill and Pie in Fremont is even younger. Cupcakes, beware: classic is back), he'll soon have a fleet.

Like ice cream atop a fresh slice of pie, Kraushaar is creating a perfect pairing: new media and old school deliciousness. Now I just have to work late one Friday or Saturday evening so I can sample @thepiecycle offerings while within his delivery zone.

It's high time for pie time.
