A little over a year ago Mariah Laughlin started baking up pies to pair with craft brews at Bearded Monk. Not too long after that she picked up steam on her pie-filled instagram account and her pie landed a magazine cover. While her crust skills are crazy good - she is really into connecting with people over pie. Read on to find out why you should head out to Nerd Nite next week to hear all about her life of pie.

Read MoreTHE GREAT AMERICAN BREWERY TOUR RIDES AGAIN
Garrett Dennington has been obsessed with craft beer and intrigued by the harder-to-find beers for years. Now his team travels the US visiting breweries and drinking those hard to find beers.
"We love craft beer and decided to take an annual road trip to discover new and exciting craft breweries." What he learned along the way was so much more.

LOCAL RESTAURANTS IN DFW RESTAURANT WEEK
Restaurant Week may have an uninspired name, but it sure has become a force in the DFW food scene.

This year, the proceeds go to benefit the local hunger relief foundatoin, the North Texas Food Bank. While the vast majority of participating restaurants are located in Dallas and Fort Worth, a couple of local restaurants are involved this year. Read on to find out which ones!

THE UNDERAPPRECIATED VALUES OF THE BEAN BURRITO
The bean burrito is cheap. You can buy one for $0.99 at Taco Bell. At $1.39, it’s literally the cheapest thing on the menu at Rosa’s – the next closest is a cup of coffee which is a full $0.20 more. You can get one at Fuzzy’s for $3.99, which sounds expensive except that theirs is truly a burrito-sized item and is about half the price of the other, snootier burritos. (Note: The bean burrito has been removed from the Fuzzy’s menu. I believe this is what’s called “gentrification.”)
