At first glance, the delicate flower cut into our Chicken Pot Pie crust might seem like just a decorative touch, but it holds a much deeper meaning. This simple yet beautiful detail is a heartfelt tribute to the original owners who built this business and made Chicken Pot Pie a beloved staple on our menu. Their dedication to homemade comfort food and quality ingredients set the foundation for what Acres & Oak Kitchen is today, and we honor that legacy with every pie we serve.
Cutting a flower shape into each crust is like sending a bouquet of thanks to the past. It’s our way of remembering the hands that first crafted this dish with love and care, turning it into a tradition that has stood the test of time. More than just a signature mark, it symbolizes the warmth and hospitality that have been at the heart of our kitchen for decades.
Beyond its sentimental meaning, the flower cutout serves a practical purpose, too—it allows steam to escape as the pie bakes, ensuring the perfect balance of flaky, golden crust and rich, savory filling. But for us, it’s always been more than just function. It’s a reminder that every dish we make carries a story, connecting the past to the present with every bite.
So, when you take a bite of our Chicken Pot Pie, you're not just enjoying a comforting, homemade meal—you’re also savoring a piece of history. We are honored to continue serving this classic dish, watching it leave our kitchen and become part of your family’s table, just as it has been for generations.
