MILWAUKEE — It's everyone's favorite mathematical-turned-quasi-food holiday, Pi Day.
The holiday was created by physicist Larry Shaw in San Francisco in 1988, who came up with the idea to link March 14 with pi's first three digits.
Today, we celebrate by either trying to recite as many numbers of pi as possible or eating as many slices of pie as possible.
Because I'm not a mathematician, I went to Honeypie Cafe in Bay View to learn about all the pies they offer. The cafe has been around since 2009. Last year, they sold more than 800 slices of pie. Honeypie said they expect to sell even more in 2024.
Along with pies, the restaurant is also known for its brunch and dinners. Multiple other locations are part of the same franchise called Pie Incorporated including Palomino, SmallPie, Comet Cafe, and Honepie Chicago.
