WORCESTER – The brewmaster at Wormtown Brewery has a not-so-secret indulgence that, up until a few years ago, never entwined with his love of beer.
Ben Roesch can’t get enough Table Talk Pies.
He scarfs down one a week. “And it might be more like two a week,” said Wormtown managing partner David Fields.
During a 2016 meeting with his brew staff, Mr. Roesch surprised everyone by announcing Wormtown would make a Table Talk Pumpkin Pie-flavored ale. They laughed away the suggestion.

WORCESTER – Hot Dog! Worcester Bravehearts were renamed Tuesday night as the Coney Island Hot Dogs, beating out another tasty Worcester institution, Table Talk Pies, for the coveted honor.

WORCESTER – The baseball rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees is yesterday’s news.
Thanks to the Worcester Bravehearts, there’s a new homegrown rivalry baking or steaming its way to the forefront, and it’s between two beloved and tasty Worcester institutions – Table Talk Pies and George’s Coney Island Hot Dogs.
John W.S. Creedon Jr., owner of the Worcester Bravehearts, and Dave Peterson, general manager of the baseball team, recently unveiled a promotional campaign in which the Bravehearts will briefly be renamed the Table Talk Pies or the Coney Island Hot Dogs.
“On June 19, which is a Tuesday, the Worcester Bravehearts are not going to exist,” Mr. Peterson said. “There will be no Bravehearts. The team will change their name for one night only. We don’t know yet what our name is going to be. That is up to the community.”

In Worcester, the name Table Talk has been synonymous with pie since 1924…especially the beloved four-inch pie…”me snack,” as some say.
Not all 10,000 pies an hour make it to market. Good news for us, those deemed perfectly imperfect can be had at bargain prices at the pie store on Green Street.
