Makes great pie. I mean really great pie. His pie was recently honored in "the Oscars of Food" when he became the town’s first James Beard Award-nominated chef. Richer was a semifinalist in the category of Rising Star Chef of the year, which singled out talented young chefs who are likely to significantly impact the food industry. He was also written up in the NYTimes.
I've been eating pie there every week for around 5 years. My 6 yr old daughter Brooke refuses to go anymore because we go too much. I have to trick her into it.
I should note here that dan uses a local CSA for his salad and vegetable offerings, uses eco friendly boxes and and packaging and has recently started a mini farmer's market outside his store on thursdays. You can buy the bread he makes shown in this picture. Or whatever. Carrots.
