Hi-Rise Pie Company Description:
Hi-Rise owner Rene Becker shows fanatical devotion to his products, both savory and sweet: not only is he committed to quality ingredients (he gets his cornmeal from an old stone mill in Rhode Island and imports Italian flour) but also to preserving baking traditions. He studs brown bread with dried blueberries from Michigan, makes a yeasted cornbread, and knows from babka. Though the amount he charges for sandwiches has earned his company the nickname "Hi-Price," they're worth every cent, generously stuffed with topnotch curried chicken salad or house-roasted turkey, spread with freshly made hummus and mayo, layered with hand-cut bacon and fresh herbs, and so on. The Harvard Square branch occupies an old house with a leafy patio overlooking the bustle of Brattle Street; if weren't for the notoriously sour attitude of the gen-Y staff, you might think it one of the most civilized spots on earth.
