Arkansas Gets Slice of ‘Best Pie’ List with Simple Offering

Although simple in ingredients, nothing is simple about this gooey, scrumptious slice.

There are few foods out there as versatile as the humble pie. Growing up in a tiny town known for its apple pie, I'm a major fan of this sweet dish. And I don't mind it in the savory form either.

With the fall season approaching, pies popularity will certainly be on the rise.

Recently Food Network drafted a list of the best pies across the nation. From apple to rhubarb, sweet potato to whoopie these pies have made a name for themselves not only in their state, but also the nation. This is the "50 States of Pie" list.

Arkansas stands out for its perfectly simple chess pie.

Not only does Food Network believe that this is the best pie in Arkansas, they also recommend that you try its chocolate counterpart. Chess pie is a favorite year-round, even at state fairs. The best chess pie, according to the network, is found at Alley Oops in Little Rock.
