Description
Each month, Masters of Social Gastronomy takes on a curious food topic and breaks down the history and science behind it. This month, pop in for some Thanksgiving PIE inspiration!
Event Details
Think making an apple pie is simple? Not so fast! A trip to the grocery store yields a thousand and one varieties of apples, all bearing well-marketed and uninformative monikers: Gala, Northern Spy, Empire, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith. Learn the rhyme and reason behind the names and the categories, along with the history and science that got turned us into a nation of Red Delicious.
Fall also brings everyone's favorite time of year: pumpkin spice season! We'll discover how this New World gourd combined with English pie ingenuity to become the classic Thanksgiving dish. Along the way, we’ll venture into meat pies, coffins, and the history of competitive eating.
Bonus: Join us onstage for a pie eating contest, with a GRAND PRIZE!
Doors 6:30 PM, show 7:00 PM.
Tickets $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

Dubbed a “historic gastronomist,” Sarah Lohman recreates historic recipes as a way to make a personal connection with the past. She chronicles her explorations in culinary history on her blog, Four Pounds Flour, and her work has been featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. She appears on the Cooking Channel’s Food: Fact or Fiction? and is 1/2 of the Masters of Social Gastronomy with co-founder Jonathan Soma.
Currently, she works with museums and galleries around the city to create public programs focused on food, including institutions such as The American Museum of Natural History, The Museum of Science, Boston, and The Lower East Side Tenement Museum. Her first book, Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine, was published with Simon & Schuster in 2016.
Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire, and has more hobbies than can dance on the head of a pin. His work has been featured everywhere from Gawker to The New York Times.
