New items from the December menu.
Chocolate Peppermint Chess Pie
A holiday twist on Chef Rucker’s standard Chocolate Chess Pie, and as good as that one is, this tweak might be even better. Maybe it’s the time of year, but I really dig the mint. While the dense fudgey filling maintains a similar flavor, it’s the cookie crust that really make it taste like a much more substantial and satisfying thin mint.
Cranberry Buttermilk Chess Pie
The sweet buttermilk custard filling is studded with tart cranberries, which wonderfully balances this pie. The buttermilk chess pies aren’t a staple of Fat + Flour’s menu, so get this while you can. It’s available both as a whole pie and by the slice.
Vietnamese Beef Stew Pot Pie
This weekend, Shawn Pham brought his Bò kho recipe from Fiona to Fat + Flour, to tremendous results. The filling is quite good (and generous on the beef) but this story here truly is familiar: the crust is absolutely insane. Chef Rucker has said before that she’ll keep doing these specials and collabs to draw people in, so it’s exciting to think about what she’ll cook up next. That said, this is one of–if not the–best they’ve done to date. I have no idea if it will be available next week, but if so do not miss it.

So down for the bo kho and that cranberry buttermilk is one of my favorites from her!

I ate a slice of the cranberry buttermilk like it was a slice of pizza. Highest recommendation.

Yeah, that Cranberry Buttermilk Chess Pie is certainly something. Got Chef Rucker to show me the whole pie (minus a slice lol)…
Alas, my heart still belongs to the Fat + Flour Curry Greens Potato hand pie. It is just as (if not more) flaky, savory, and luscious as any omnivore hand pie I’ve had.

nicole rucker x shawn pham bo kho pot pie
this was fantastic, the filling was a little heavy on the five-spice/cinnamon but was still solid. but my goodness, I agree with @rlw, the crust was incredible, soft and flaky at the same time and oh so buttery. she could fill these with durian and it would still be delicious.
jump on these if she makes more @attran99, @TheCookie, @foodshutterbug, @hppzz

i don’t see it on the menu anymore
Darn it!
Honestly probably the best crust she’s had on any item. Especially with the salt on top

Delightful gastronomic torture porn for gluten intolerant folks who can’t even get to GCM during the pandemic.
However, there are several items I know I will enjoy eventually. Thanks for posting, everybody.

I know! I’m trying to get there this coming week!
Be sure to pre-order at least two days in advance. Sadly I struck out completely on my last trip. I just can’t schedule these things, let alone pre-order plus pick up times.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I’m slowly starting to get the hang of pre-ordering.
Thanks to @rlw and @PorkyBelly for advanced intel. I emailed F&F when the bo kho pie was sold out — was told to check at 5pm when they refresh slots on Tock.
Success! Got the beef pie on Friday along with the choc peppermint chess pie and seasonal fruit hand pie (cranberry apple).
I heated the beef pie for a few minutes and when I dug in with my fork, the scent of 5 spice with beef magically wafted up. Dipped the crust into the pie like it was fondue. Heaven.
Chocolate peppermint pie - put me in a Christmas holiday mood - staff cut the pie after I arrived for pick up and decorated it with 2 peppermint drops before boxing.
Nicole Rucker has been described as a fruit whisperer and I decided to simply TRUST and order the seasonal fruit pie without knowing the flavors beforehand. Last weekend it was a cranberry apple pie filling.
Came in it’s own box and was massive for a handpie, perhaps suitable for Andre the Giant. I divided mine into 2 portions. The cranberry apple filling’s tartness gives way to the vanilla rum sugar dusted crust at the end of the bite - indicative of Rucker’s genius imho.
Definitely looking forward to future offerings at F&F via preorder.

glad you got to try the bo kho pie @foodshutterbug.
If you’re warming it up straight out of fhe fridge, 350 for about 20 minutes was perfect for me.
