The Piehole Project is back for its 5th year with exciting twists — a new theme and for the first time, a giveaway and Fort Worth chefs! Themed “Piehole Squares” as a nod to the classic gameshow Hollywood Squares, this year’s online pie auction brings together celebrated North Texas chefs each crafting a unique, once-in-a-lifetime pie for bidding November 11 to November 21, just in time for Thanksgiving.
For the first time, anyone who registers for the auction at PieholeProject.org will also be entered into a giveaway for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to any 2024 Piehole Project restaurant of their choosing.
Since its debut in 2020, Piehole Project has auctioned 243 pies raising more than $60,000 for the industry.
