Snapshots From the 9th Annual Bucktown Apple Pie Contest

[Photographs: Dennis Lee]

Last Sunday was the 9th Annual Bucktown Apple Pie Contest here in Chicago, and this year, they titled it "The Clash of the Pietins." For me, it's one of the more fun events every year because the contest showcases home cooks rather than professional ones. And of course, it's a true onslaught of apple pie. There's more pie than the eye can see—two gymnasiums full! Attendees sampled hundreds of different homemade pies (some have the best names ever), and watching the crowd is always as fun as enjoying the pastries.

Dennis is somehow an award-winning food writer and pizzamaker from Chicago. He loves bizarre food experiments, his cats, and instilling regret in his social media followers. His achievements include being so good at writing that he definitely doesn't need his fiancée, Davida, to write his Serious Eats bio for him. Also, he needs to empty the dishwasher.
