Gotta Love DUB

At Down Under Bakery (DUB) Pies where the spunky Australian hostess/counter-gal/server/smoothie-maker closes every phone order by saying, “Thank you, my dear!” the specialty is meat pies, with hospitality on the side. We were so distracted by our tasty lunch and our server’s animated description of the memoir she’s writing that we didn’t remember to take a picture until dessert — note the photo of the just-tart-enough mini key lime pie above. You’ll have to go see the light and flaky meat pies for yourself — they’re stuffed with ground beef or chunks of top-round steak, stewed in a dark and savory onion gravy. For vegetarians, a sweet and spicy curry with notes of garam masala brightens a pie filled with potatoes, carrots, and peas…

For $7.50 total, one pie is served with a hearty helping of roughly mashed potatoes and mushy peas. This is normally topped with a meat-based gravy, but a douse of thick split-pea soup makes a fine vegetarian alternative. For $7 total, patrons can request a “pie float” — a pub grub specialty from South Australia in which the pie is soaked in a bowl of split-pea soup. For $6.75, the pie is paired with a fresh green salad. DUB’s wide delivery range spans from Van Brunt to Nevins, and from Joralemon to West 9th, and their pies are also available frozen, to be heated up in home kitchens. Catering is available as well, and they even offer cocktail-sized pies for parties.
