Join us on Sunday, October 2, for KCRW’s ‘Good Food’ Pie Contest at the Royce Quad at UCLA. We are excited to announce this year’s panel of judges which consists of some of LA’s best tastemakers: 2016 James Beard Awardee for Outstanding Pastry Chef Dahlia Narvaez (Mozza), Meadow Ramsey (Sqirl), the Los Angeles Times’ own Jonathan Gold and test kitchen director Noelle Carter, plus many more! (See the full list below.)

We invite bakers of all levels to register your pies in any one — or more! — of our eight categories: fruit, nut, cooked custard, cream/chiffon/mousse, savory, vegan and Cuban pie. This year, we’ve also added a sweet potato pie category, sponsored by “Almost Christmas,” a Universal Pictures film. ‘Good Food’ Host Evan Kleiman will preside over the day’s festivities, which begin at 11 AM and include public pie tastings, music, food trucks, activities for kids, an artisan marketplace and more.

The deadline to register your pie(s) is Sunday, September 25, at 11:55 PM.
