    Are cheesecakes and gallettes pies? Where does pie territory end and tart territory begin? Is a square pie just as tasty as a round pie or a slab pie?

    Are cheesecakes and gallettes pies? Where does pie territory end and tart territory begin? Is a square pie just as tasty as a round pie or a slab pie? These are just a couple of questions the host of WNYC's The Sporkful podcast, Dan Pashman, tackles in this loaded debate with our very own Evan Kleiman over the technicalities of pie: "In the grand scheme of life, there are only a few categories of food," says Pashman, "Pie is one of them." Get the official rules for our pie contest on the Good Food blog.
