Celebrate National Pie Day on January 23 with friends and family! This day traces its origins back to the mid-1970s, thanks to Charlie Papazian. While working as a nuclear engineer in Boulder, Colorado, Papazian's passion for pies, brewing, and teaching led him to declare his own birthday, January 23, as National Pie Day. Pies have been around for centuries, offering an endless array of possibilities. From the classic sweet and savory to the innovative fruit-filled and custard-based creations. National Pie Day is the perfect opportunity to explore this diversity – a day where any pie flavor you dream of can come to life in your kitchen!"
