‘Waitress’ Lonely Chicago Pie

Nobody likes being alone whether it’s Chicago or NYC, unless they have a pie all to themselves. Jenna taught THE doctor (yes, Pomatter) how to bake this pie and, well, a fair amount of fun follows. And I’m not just talking about the pie now.

The pie is spices, cinnamon and sugar, lying beneath a thick layer of mashed berries and melted chocolate. This is the kind of alone I want to be!
