Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Pie Shops

    Busy Bee is the classic West End soul food restaurant, known for its fried chicken and peach cobbler, and its sweet potato pie holds its own beside them: silky and balanced between spice, potato and cream, with what tastes like a hint of lemon. Slices are always available. Order a slice after the fried chicken.
