Chef Moe's Pie Chart Mug

This design is a salute to my canine pal Moe, who lives with our friends at Brandywine Farm in western Pennsylvania. A few years back, we paid an overnight visit to our friends, and brought along a delicious pie from Gray House Pies, located in suburban Cleveland. (Unsolicited testimonial: if you are ever in northeast Ohio, consider visiting Gray House Pies, for the best pies you will have ever eaten.) We had most of the pie after dinner that night. But the next morning, we were awakened by furious shouting from the kitchen downstairs. Moe -- under most circumstances a Very Good Dog -- had apparently been so utterly mesmerized by The Scent of Pie that he had grabbed the pan containing the remainder of the previous evening's dessert from the center of the kitchen table, dragged it into another room, and ate every speck of that pie. Ever since that morning, whenever we come to visit, he always greets us with an air of hopefulness: 'have you brought more pie?' We often have. We brought him his own miniature pie for his birthday one summer (he very nearly ate the candle as well). This mug will always make sure you remember Chef Moe's advice: "Pie is an essential part of a well-rounded diet."
