Pies 'n' Thighs

Back in 2006, two Brooklyn cooks named Sarah Sanneh and Carolyn Bane converted a tiny, six-stool former beer storage closet into a homespun counter serving up massive doughnuts, Southern-style fried chicken, and two-napkin smoked pork sandwiches. It’s the type of food that’s impossible to dislike, and the locals soon realized they had something good on their hands. Rave reviews from The New York Times, New York Magazine, Food & Wine, and many more soon followed (as did a visit from Guy Fieri for “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”), and Pies ’n’ Thighs legacy as one of New York’s best Southern restaurants was cemented.

Today, Pies ’n’ Thighs (which has since moved into larger digs) is a certified Brooklyn institution, and a must-visit for anyone craving expertly-made fried chicken, biscuits, doughnuts, pies, and a whole host of other Southern comfort food classics. Every item on the menu is made with care according to recipes inspired by the Slow Food Movement’s attention to high-quality ingredients, and the dishes that put it on the map are now delivering nationwide!
