Sweet or savory, hand pies appeal to anyone with a practical nature: They’re tidy and easy to eat. No fork or knife! Olympic Provisions, a small restaurant with a superb deli counter, makes the most delicious pork rillette–filled ones. Jason Barwikowski simmers pork belly and shoulder with wine and garlic for hours, mixes it until it’s almost smooth and packs it into flaky pastry. He loves his pies because they’re good for breakfast, lunch or dinner. How practical.
