Community members from the South Side gathered in the Hyde Park Neighborhood Club last weekend to raise funds for the Hyde Park and Kenwood Hunger Programs as part of the eighth annual South Side Pie Challenge. Contestants donated a record 68 pies and raised $4,500. Judges included the pastry chef at The Promontory, the general manager of Medici Restaurants, and a competitor on MasterChef Junior. Molly Herron, pictured to the left, took home the grand prize for her plum pie named “What a good boy am I pie.” The event also featured live music by the University of Chicago Glee Club and a Chicago-wide youth ensemble.
