As you are no doubt aware, today–March 14, or 3.14–is Pi Day, named in honor of that freaky little mathematical constant whose value is the ratio of any Euclidean plane circle’s circumference to its diameter or the ratio of a circle’s area to the square of its radius. Awesome, right?As is only appropriate, Pi Day is customarily celebrated by the reciting of pi to many thousands of digits by super-nerds who get off on that kind of thing, and by people who haven’t dedicated their lives to memorizing the seemingly endless stream of numbers (3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510 . . . etc.), but rather get together to eat bake and eat pies. Believe it or not, there actually is an honest-to-God tradition associated with this. In 1989, Larry Shaw, a crazy-haired physicist working at the San Francisco Exploratorium, celebrated the first Pi Day, with staff and members of the public traipsing around one of the Exploratorium’s circular spaces, then hanging out and eating fruit pies.As for us, we’ve had pie on the brain for the past week or so, and can first offer this bit of reading on pie and its place in our culture.First, there was the review of Pie and High 5 Pie which asked the questions: Is pie the new cupcake? And if it is, where in Seattle can we score some?I answered at least the first question in a follow-up blog post dealing with the whole notion of trends, trend stories, and giving pie the respect it deserves. Short answer: No. Pie is not the new cupcakes. Pie is too cool for that.That was followed by a slideshow full of pictures of pie which, in many cases, looked a whole lot better than they tasted.And after that, I just sat back amazed as the comments and e-mails came pouring in. As stated plainly in my pie post about trends and trend stories, claiming that anything is the new anything is one of the great magic tricks of the publishing world–an instant spur to people’s egos and a way to casually get both sides of any issue up in arms.The good thing is, in this case, many of the most vocal folks on either side came through with suggestions for other places in and around Seattle to score some pie–good pie, most of them promised. Occasionally great pie.So if you’re looking for a place to pick up a few Pi Day accoutrements, here’s what the people of Seattle recommend.St. Clouds restaurant in Madrona.Of course there’s Pie in Fremont, which escaped last week’s review mostly unscathed.Pie Goddess, a walk-up window in Enumclaw.Shoofly Pie Co., name-checked by more than one disappointed pie lover as THE place to get their fix.3.14 Bakery in White Center.And other than that? Seattle apparently has a whole lot of at-home pie bakers who swear that theirs is the second-best there ever was, after the pies baked by their own grandmothers. And you know what? When it comes to pie, I really do think that the home cooks may have it over on the pros.But by all means, if any of you out there have any other suggestions for where folks can pick up some excellent Pi Day party supplies, be sure to drop a comment.The people, and Larry Shaw, will thank you.Follow Voracious on Twitter and Facebook.
