With just over 60 pies entered in the 2009 Annual W+K Pie contest, the competition was stiff and the judging even stiffer. The apple pie categories saw less than normal numbers as debate over whether apple really IS Dan's favorite or not continued. Yet last year's winner- the Cheesecake only saw two entries and were deemed not worthy of even making it to the final table.
But when it came to the ultimate judge of all things pie- Dan called it unanimous- the pumpkin pie was the winner.

The largest entry came all the way from the New York Office an Apple Paella!
One tough judge.
This table agreed with Dan on the winner.
Champions of the categories were as follows:
Grand Prize Pumpkin/Nut: Mary Alberque
Berry/Fruit: Mira Kaddoura
Chocolate: Erik Weeman
Cream/Meringue: Dawn Weeman
Straight-Up Apple: Melanie Fedunok
Specialty Apple: Casey Hall
Cheesecake: Two pies and none was chosen for first- harsh!
Thank you pie makers.
Thank you judges.
Thank you Mary, Danny Sheniak and Ademar for their help.
Happy Holidays!
