AZ Food Crafters, Mike Caliendo and Eddie Castillo’s hand-pie shop in Chandler, is featuring a couple of new pies for March.
The Hot Brown, inspired by the famous Hot Brown Sandwich from the Brown Hotel in Louisville, is stuffed with slow-roasted turkey breast, applewood-smoked bacon, and fresh Roma tomato, all blended in a rich Mornay (cheese) sauce.
Strawberry Lemon Creme showcases locally grown lemons and California strawberries blended with a sweet, rich vanilla cream cheese custard.
AZ Food Crafters, located on the southeast corner of Alma School and Ray, is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. A dozen or so varieties of full-sized hand pies are $4 apiece.
You also can find Caliendo and Castillo at various Valley farmers markets, including the Chandler Farmers Market from 3-6 p.m. Thursdays.
