It’s time for PIE! Put your pie-baking chops to the test at what is sure to be a heated battle at the 4th annual Brooklyn Pie Contest, put on by the Brooklyn Homesteader. This year’s bake-off benefits Growing Chefs, a Brooklyn-based group that teaches people “where their food comes from, and how to grow it.”

Brooklyn foodie’s are hardcore, people, so bring your A game.

Judges are to include Blake Joyal, Head chef of The Bedford, pastry chefs from Momofuku Milk Bar, Four & Twenty Blackbirds, and Baked. Sweet and savory pies will be judged, but no pizza allowed!

When: Sunday, January 23, 2011
5:30 pm – 9:00 pm

To be entered in the contest, bakers must arrive at 5:30. The first 50 pies will be accepted.

Where: The Bedford restaurant
110 Bedford Ave. (at N. 11th), Brooklyn, NY
