TOON TWEAK?
While you’re making changes to the Fun Stuff section, please consider switching the positions of “This Modern World,” which would benefit from being slightly larger, and “Bliss,” which wouldn’t be hurt by slight reduction. Whinewhile, will “Futon Life” ever get good enough to deserve a place in your publication? L.J. Kopf

‘SLICE OF HEAVEN’
I enjoyed very much Carolyn Shapiro’s survey of local pie makers [“Easy as Pie,” April 6]. The article did a great job surveying the remarkable pie-related culinary talent we benefit from here in Burlington and the surrounding areas. FILE: CALEB KENNA

However, I would like to point out the omission of a very talented pie professional. Jonathan Davis is working miracles at Pie Society. His pie kitchen is in the same building as Davis Studio at 916 Shelburne Road in South Burlington. Every week, Pie Society changes its menu to offer two savory pies and one sweet. This week, for example, he is offering bratwurst, kale and ale gravy pie; butternut-sage pot pie; and rhubarb crumb pie. The savory pies typically cost less than $30, and the sweet pies less than $20. Jonathan is a craftsman of crust and a philosopher of filling. Every one of the Pie Society pies I have ordered, savory or sweet, has been a slice of heaven. I hope that we support such a talented young food creator in his quest for the ultimate pie.
