President's Day Pie

Today was President's Day and I sampled some Pie more closer to Home..well not too close actually. But it was in Queens! It's also very close to Brooklyn, I went to P.J. Leahy's on Vernon Boulevard, Long Island City.
No Link to website for this one, I guess they might not have one. A simple enough spot with a pretty simple enough Pie also.
It actually looked a little burnt also?

Well you know if it looks a bit dodgy, it certainly would be huge surprise if it tasted Amazing..
Anyhow your very Basic Pie here, it did have Peas !!
No beefy or shouldn't it be Lamby Flavour?
No real distinct flavours, I did need the ketchup for this one. I think I had an aftertaste of Burnt in my mouth afterwards. It actually looks worse in the Picture, at least I don't remember it been extremely badly burnt.
I think it was a Broiler Job.. In the end you get what you pay for more or less? On this Occasion it really was not something I would ever order again in there.
It certainly was not the worst so far, Marks out of 10..I give it 4.

Dinner by the Fireplace

Tonight I found a nice little Bar & Restaurant called "Jack Dempsey's" http://www.jackdemseys.com/
on West 33rd .

I went with Daniel , one of my Best Friends
(he's reading this..LOL )

Anyhow nice and cozy place with Fireplace and nice service.

The Pie came nice and hot ,and as I was very hungry, I dug in as soon as I took a snapshot! (a little dark in there and only had phone with me)
The Potatoes were lovely and fluffy and tasty. The meat had a nice amount of sauce to meat ratio. And the meat & sauce had loads of flavor, mostly a rich gravy one. Intense meaty and also a feeling of just like Mother made when you were young :)

Delicious and would go back for more. Had some mushrooms and green beans?
Whatever happened to Peas?!!

I also thought of something else tonight, I should find out if pie is Lamb or Beef?
Traditionally it should be made of lamb but I myself and I am sure many more out there use Beef.

8 Marks out of 10 .
