Get Your Fall Food On With These Seasonal Favorites.
As October comes to an end and November begins starts creeping up around the corner, more and more places are including fall-oriented treats on their menus. This, obviously, is great news.
Human beings with any sense of enjoyment in life crave these delicious pumpkin- and otherwise fall-flavored concoctions all year round. And yet, due to a malicious decree from some faceless and close-minded flavor overlords, we're only able to enjoy these for but a few months out of the year. True, these foods are more thoroughly enjoyed during cold weather, but, fact of the matter is, this is Texas and the weather doesn't always cooperate. And yet we still somehow find a way to enjoy these delights, do we not? Of course we do.
Alas, as each of these items is only available for a limit time due to powers beyond our control, we figured now was a good time to remind you of all the fall-oriented foods ready for your ordering at the moment.
So, by all means, pick your pleasure and get out there — before they're gone till next November.
Who and what? Emporium Pies may be a newbie to the thriving Bishop Arts food district, but their fall offering is a classic. Called the Drop Dead Gorgeous, their rendition of pumpkin pie features a crumbly, buttery gingerbread crust filled with creamy pumpkin custardy goodness. It's amazing!

When? Every day through Thanksgiving, but be sure to arrive early in the day if you hope to score one, as these babies sell out quick.
