Who determined that January 23 is National Pie Day? The American Pie Council, that's who. According to Holiday Insights, the American Pie Celebration began in 1986 to commemorate Crisco's 75th anniversary of "serving foods to families everywhere."

How precisely does one celebrate? Holiday Insights suggests:

National Pie Day is a special day that is set aside to bake and cook all of your favorite pies. On this day, you are also encouraged to bake a few new pie recipes. And most importantly, it's a day to eat pies! A great way to celebrate National Pie Day is to bake some pies and give them away to friends, neighbors, and relatives. You never know, you may be starting a tradition of pie giving between your friends and family.

A Good Day To Pie

Okay, so tomorrow is a good day to bake and eat pies. Fair enough. What about those of us who lack baking skills? What are we supposed to do?

On that note, let's make an event of this. Where will you find the valley's best slice of pie? One of the crews here at the studio did a little research around the holidays and tracked down the valley's best pumpkin pie. Let's open the door to the entire spectrum. Who makes the best?
