"It was feminine without being fussy, modern without being clunky, and very, very nice to eat (buttermilk chess) pie from."
"A buttermilk chess pie is creamy, light, and lemony—and though I can't imagine Grandma Elizabeth made a grapefruit custard pie, she would be proud of this sweet and tart and creamy concoction."
"The pie in question is Four & Twenty’s estimable Salty Honey, a delicious variation on a chess pie."
"Since the Gowanus bakery opened in 2009, Four & Twenty Blackbirds has earned a cultish following for its perfectly turned-out pies, including the chocolate chess."
"The crust was flaky and shining with the stuff, and the filling had a beautiful, thick texture (don’t get caught without something to wash it down) that was just a little tangy and the teensiest bit crumbly."
