EDITORS TIPS

The Extras: If you?re hankering for more Southern-inflected eats, try owners Craig Samuel and Ben Grossman?s other Brooklyn restaurants, Smoke Joint and Peaches.

Fun Fact: Those pies you?re eyeing? They?re made by upstate New York?s Wilklow Orchards, which fashions a different fresh-fruit pie daily.
