Handheld. Hot. Crimped by hand. Sold at Chicago French Markets.
A pastie is a complete meal in a flaky shortcrust shell — meat or vegetable filling, potato, all sealed in a crimped half-moon and baked until golden. It's been the lunch of choice in Britain since at least the 1300s.
It's also the perfect handheld food: it stays hot for ages, you don't need a fork, and it doesn't fall apart in your hand. Which is why it shows up at our markets, our office lunches, and (often) the late-night station at our weddings.
Four classics every week, plus a Guest Pastie.
Beef, potato, carrot, and onion, with a hint of mustard.
Tender chicken with buttered leeks, potato, and carrot.
Packed full of your favorite veg — broccoli, cauliflower, potato, carrot, spinach, onion, mozzarella.
A classic combination of lamb and rosemary with a hint of garlic, wrapped together with potato and carrot.
A different guest flavor every week, dreamed up by Chef Pam herself. Past and upcoming guests have included Hot Honey Chicken with Sweet Potato and Georgia Peach Salsa, French Brie with Plum Sauce, Chicken Tikka — and plenty more on the way.
Every market, every date through October. Come hungry, come early — we sell out almost every weekend.
