One of the few truly ‘Aussie’ meals is a humble, hearty meat pie. But with so many pies around the place – its pretty hard to find a great tasting and filling pie these days.

Stumbled across a little place in Mt Gravatt (1373 Logan Road) over the past year called Piefection. It boasts a tasty menu of gourmet pies, and the owner, Matt Roman, regularly tests different recipes (such as Soy Pork Belly which I tried once) if you are lucky to get one in time.

This place is NOT for the healthy eater. It’s NOT a place for the fine diner. It definitely IS the place for meat-filling experience with a plethora of options.

The menu can be found here.

My pick is either one of the daily specials, or the Jack Daniels BBQ Pork Rib Pie with the floater (mash, gravy, peas) combo. No joke – I can’t believe how much pork is shoved into the pie, and how tender it is. The JD BBQ marinate makes it taste so good.

If you’re feeling extra dirty, you could try their animal fries or gems (fries or gems baked with bacon, ham, cheese and gravy) – be warned this is deliciously dirty (or dirtily delicious?) and should never be tackled solo.

You may find this place a tad pricier than usual bakeries, but it is definitely worth the cost. You’ll still get a good feed for under $8 with a floater or under $11 including chips and drink.

This is one of my favourite destinations for pie. Have a try and let me know what you think.
