A ticket to this pie-licious Sunday brunch covers a choice of two slices of pie (sweet and savory), a farm-fresh salad and a beverage. Pies are baked by some of the area’s finest chefs and bakers using fresh locally grown ingredients. Pie Palooza is a highly anticipated event, drawing sell-out crowds, prompting hosts to add a fourth seating time to the event (previous years only scheduled three seating blocks). Tickets sell for $16 in advance and $18 at the door. (Order online at www.reapfoodgroup.org, or in person at the REAP office at 306 E. Wilson St.)

Back by popular demand, whole ready-to-freeze pies will be sold for those thinking ahead to Thanksgiving. Whole pies will sell for $15.

His competitors yield from, The Blue Marlin, Brasserie V, Bunky’s Café, Captain Bill’s, Restaurant Muramoto and Liliana’s.
