Chicken pot pie
The Great Dane, four area locations
Pull the flaky top crust off this chicken pie and pour the chicken, carrot, pea and celery stew out to let the massive heat escape. It comes with a side of hot cinnamon applesauce, the perfect sweet pairing.
Herb tofu pot pie
Ladonia Cafe food cart, 1 E. Main St., Mon.-Fri., 11 am-2 pm
Start with a vegan crust as rich, flaky and flavorful as any made with lard. Move on to a deep mushroom gravy and bright herb tofu for the most surprising, comforting pot pie around.
Pot pie pasties
Humble, 10 S. Allen St.
This pie shop makes a meat pasty daily. While not technically pot pies, they’re kissing cousins. Made with a rich butter crust? Check. Slow-cooked meat filling (chicken, beef) and veggies in cream sauce or gravy? Check. Look for the ground beef and roasted root vegetable for extra savory satisfaction.
