Since 1922, Hubig's Pies have been a delicious fixture in New Orleans. These folded, fried, sugar-glazed and fruit-filled treats have long warmed spirits and bellies in the Crescent City.
On July 27th, a fire erupted in the heart of the Hubig's Faubourg Marigny factory, just outside the French Quarter. No one was injured, but the factory and all of the equipment inside were destroyed. To help keep the Hubig’s spirit alive while we eagerly await the return of our beloved hand-held pies, we've assembled some links about and in support of Hubig's. They're a collection of funny, sweet, and historical references - just like Hubig's Pies.
