Drive-by Critic Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 So sayeth the City Paper:http://www.washingto...-to-georgetown/The company, which is actually named Connecticut-Copperthite, once had a location at Wisconsin and Ohio (?) according to an old poster. The current owner is the great-great-grandson of the original owner. And for us Georgetown-averse types: "At some point in the future, Copperthite envisions a mobile phone app where customers can place "smart orders" and pick the desserts up at pie wagons near Metro stops around the city."

DonRocks Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Why don't they just call it The Pie Hole? It's funnier *and* less coarse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive-by Critic Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 They say in the article that the reaction to the name is a gen gap thing. Guess you are on the Old Fart side of the gap...it's just the jargon du minute. Like yelling SHUT UP when something is really rad (70s?) instead of saying "far out" (60s?) or "way cool"(90s?) or "that's sick"(00s?). I guess the idea is to really get attention and buzz. But it is pretty in-your-face. As it happens, there is a place in LA called The Pie Hole as well as a pizza chain by that name out in Idaho. And another bakery in Rosewell, GA though really it should be in the other Roswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It was also the name of the pie shop in the short-lived show Pushing Daisies on ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Does anyone know the story with Shut Your Pie Hole? Repeat: Does anyone know the story with Shut Your Pie Hole? They have a website (actually what seems to be two websites) and a Twitter account, but they've been radio silent for two years. If you go to that second website and scroll down, you'll see that they're affiliated with (owners of?) a place in McLean called StarNut Gourmet. How did I not know this place existed? Or, *does* it exist? There's a phone number, and even a third website, but the website doesn't work, and I don't want to call at 9 PM in case it's a cell phone.

DonRocks Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 The Pie Hole is officially shut until further notice. If anyone knows what the address was supposed to be, would you please write me and let me know? Cheers! Rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
