Is Hot Pie overrated as a baker?

[Patrick Durden]

Food gathers, and now my supper begins. It shall not end until my death.

For the pie is dark and full of trans fats.

[Milady de Winterfell]

Hot Pie is The Baker That Was Promised.

This is all a set-up for Hot Pie to work in the Manderly kitchens forging the ultimate Frey pie. It is known.

I bet Hot Pie makes apple pies. I HATE apple pies which means I have no choice to hate Hot Pie.

Also, I bet his key lime pies are green. No excuse for a green key lime pie.

So who's the best baker in Westeros, guys? Is it Hot Pie, the Manderly's baker, or the Red Keep's baker (the one who makes the lemoncakes)?

What about the baker at Winterfell? Sansa was addicted to the lemoncakes. ;)

Nah, the best baker is Drogon. Oh wait, he's a roaster :(

[Tagganaro]

Hey, I've always thought Stannis was bound for the Nightfort as the Night King, but you've convinced me. Why include the story of the Rat Cook and have such an incredible baker just hanging around? No, I'm convinced, Hot Pie will be the new Rat Cook and his pies will save the Wall from the Others.

If only Jon had called on him earlier. Marsh and co. would definitely not try to assassinate him because they'd be too full from Hot Pie's cooking. Wall would still be fine.

Actually, would he technically be a griller or a BBQer because of the open flames? I always think of roasting as being a slow cooking process and Drogon doesn't strike me as being all that patient.

Well, I suppose, but I think he's an all purpose sort of culinary device. He can roast, grill, or BBQ at his device.

Yes, this is a great point! Drogon would be a handy kitchen device when you need a weekday meal in a hurry. Put everything in a marinade the night before and then stick it in front of Drogon's face just before dinner. Just run away real fast so you don't get roasted in the process.

Man normally just read the posts on this board (obviously) but this thread was SO much win that I had to acknowledge its brilliance.

[brashcandy]

This theory clearly belongs in the heresy threads. If we can't put our faith in Hot Pie's baking skills, what can we really trust in Westeros?

The Bolton rehab clinic remains pretty legit. Just ask Theon...

Quentyn should have marinated himself before visiting the other two.

[Jon's Queen Consort]

Blasphemy! :ack:

Three hundrends bakers through Westeros disagree with you sir! I call you upon a duel for Hot Pie's honor. :fencing:

IMHO, Hot Pie is a good baker, but he is no where near the best. Drogon is definitely the best in the series! Anyone who denies Drogon's abilities simply didn't comprehend the books, because the proof is evident in the text.

[Umel of Ys]

I for one contend that Hot Pie had the best teacher: we know that his mother taught him how to bake pies, we also know that mothers are the best cooks, ergo Hot Pie's mother was the best cook/baker in all of Westeros. End of discussion.

Plus he is so Lord Manderly's hidden bastard (how could it be otherwise? I look forward to the great reveal in TWOW).

Yeah, but Drogon doesn't do pastry. Best baker of people, maybe, but best pies? I think not.

In which case, Chef Manderley should win as the only living character to bake both people and pies...

Arya grew up with a professional chef cooking for her, she did not dispute Hot Pies skills. She thinks of him whenever she is in a kitchen. Maybe he is the best or maybe he isn't but he is good we can't argue about that.
