Know your pie days at Carshon’s Deli

Hey, Bud! Where can a reader find the absolute best pecan pie in Fort Worth?

—Relayed from Fort Worth Foodies on Facebook

Other foodies made some first-rate suggestions — Emporium Pies, Buttermilk Sky, Gus’ Fried Chicken, Black Rooster Bakery. To all those first-rate pies, I’d add the Carshon’s Deli pecan pie, served only on Mondays. (Tuesday is butterscotch meringue pie. Everybody knows about chocolate meringue Wednesdays and Saturdays.)

New restaurants ahead for WestBend

Hey, Bud! What did you say will replace Zoës Kitchen and East Hampton Sandwich in WestBend? I sure miss Zoës.

—Luella, Fort Worth

Sadly, the Zoës chain was bought out, and Cava replaced most locations. A Zoës is still open in Colleyville. Nothing official is signed yet for the WestBend space on South University Drive.

Hey, Bud! I’d like to book a reservation for four Friday at lunch.

—Somebody every week

Thank you for calling! However, I am not a restaurant. (No matter what Google says.)
