The Guard House Cafe is Hosting a Special Pop-up Featuring Tomato Pies From Jiu Dough

This is a nearly 20-year relationship that has recently blossomed into a special pop-up for those that love a great tomato pies. Jiu Dough owner Garri Banar and Guard House Cafe owner Khoran Horn are teaming up for a pop-up on Saturday April 1st at The Guard House Cafe (2275 Bridge St.) from 11 am to 3 pm featuring “not your average tomato pies. You’ll see why you don’t need anything else once you taste it,” Khoran states.

“Garri’s who has a black belt in jiu-jitsu (hence the name) and a great human, has made bread his laser focus for some time now. He honed in on every minute detail, down to the little things you (honestly) don’t even care about. We met in our past lives and have now known each other damn near 20 years. We’ve been on him about getting this go to public because it’s a disservice to the world that no one has tried his (baked) goods and now we’re here,” Khoran explains.

Jiu-Dough will be slinging 9.5”x13” pies that can feed up 6 “depending on how greedy you are,” Khoran jokingly add. The pies are selling for $25 a pop and requires a dough reservation, which can done by visiting TheGuardHouseCafe.com. Dough is limited to 25 half sheets so once they’re gone, they’re gone.
