Pie at the White House

Guess what President Obama served Chinese President Hu Jintao at last night's state dinner? A "quintessentially American" meal topped off by ... apple pie! Details here.

And, you can bet that pie was made by Bill Yosses, the White House pastry chef, who the prez has nicknamed "The Crustmaster." Here's a story the New York Times did on Yosses last year, and here's a People magazine story that includes his recipe for apple pie, plus his secret for crust nirvana: he double-bakes it. Genius! All hail the Crustmaster.
