“The Food Experiments” is coming to Boston! And it’s going to be all about pies.

The Food Experiments, fellow readers, is a series of amateur cook-offs designed to celebrate the home chef. In creating them, co-organizers Theo Peck and Nick Suarez have developed a community of food- and fun-loving people in their hometown of Brooklyn, NY. Now this duo and their experiments will go on the road for a national tour, and they’re coming our way soon.

On Sunday, July 31st, The Boston Pie Experiment will be held at the Middle East in Cambridge from 12-3PM. You can enter any kind of pie into the competition: sweet, meat, savory, fruit-filled — heck, even pizza pie. As long as it has “some kind of pie crust…it will represent!”

Anyone can attend and anyone can compete, which means anyone can win. The top prize is local fame, of course, plus a trip to Brooklyn to compete against all the cook-off winners from around the country. And, no worries about footing the grocery bill: chefs will be provided with a Whole Foods gift certificate to help purchase ingredients for the competition. A portion of the event’s proceeds will go towards The Food Project, a wonderful local charity on-site in Lincoln, Beverly, Ipswich, Boston and Lynn, which “has built a national model of engaging young people in personal and social change through sustainable agriculture.”

Give’ em a shout and join the fun! All of you out there are encouraged to enter or attend. Let’s show the nation what we in Boston do with our pies.
