Per usual, Suzan has failed to eat at Il Pizzico, and it's still one of Jaime's top three Rockville restaurants.
We revisit a pod favorite, Ema Rossi, and give a shout-out to Chris Landers of the Clay Co-Op, who made some of the dishes Ema Rossi uses.

Coming up--Rockville City Council member Marissa Valeri on civil discourse.

This season, we solve all the world's problems with help from our friends.

Darband Kebab
Chef Tony's

Josh's Smack Shack
Baguette Antojitos

See that empty box in the episode photo? The pie was gone before we thought to take a picture.

Today Dini from Dini's Divine Pies hung out in the garage with us to talk all things pie and small business. Suzan manages not to talk about Texas, but Jaime, of course, slips in a pickleball reference. We also talked about the Thanksgiving Kim had to cut the pie Suzan made with a machete. Good times!

It's not too early to pre-order a holiday pie! Be a hero--bring a truly amazing, hand-made pie to the office, a party, or a holiday dinner (or all 3).
