When I was young I loved Robert DeNiro so much and in the movie Taxi Driver he orders a piece of apple pie with cheese melted over the top

so for all four years of high school whenever I went to Denny's I would eat a piece of apple pie with some cheese

melted over the top because that's what he ordered when he had his date with Sybil Shepard.

I don't even like cheese over apple pie but he was so cool I had to eat it.

Because I wanted people to ask me,

what's with the cheese and the apple pie?

Have you seen Taxi Driver?

No?

You really should.

Let me tell you the whole movie.

From KCRW, I'm Evan Klyman, and you're listening to good food.

Do you have a favorite pie?

I like all pie a whole lot. I mean I could eat any pie at any time.

Seriously except for maybe coconut. Really you can't mess with a good apple pie.

Like a good apple pie is baseline good and at its peak

transformative. Shee pie, potato pie, spinach pie, lazy pie, lazy pie is without dough.

Coconut cream pie, lemon,

moraine pie, and chicken pot pie.

Oh, chicken pot pie.

Oh, chicken pot pie.

My favorite pie is a blackberry pie

with red chili peppers because it's really unexpectedly delicious. If I'm gonna go pie, it's definitely a pecan pie, no question about it.
