Drink the Light. Remember the Crust. History Father Custard’s Pie Parlour was opened in 1972 by Agatha and Eustice Grindle, a husband and wife baking team from Belair Road, Baltimore. They started with a single oven bought from a decommissioned hospital kitchen and a hand painted sign that simply read Father Custard. Agatha mixed custard in repurposed paint buckets, claiming the rounded rims “kept the heat gentle.” Eustice handled deliveries in a rust-red Chevy panel van, its sides stenciled with the words "Father Custard". By 1975, the shop had become a quiet local legend, nurses from Mercy Hospital swore the pies stayed warm for hours after purchase, and late-shift dockworkers lined up for slices long after midnight. The Grindles refused to expand. The same two ovens still sit behind the counter today, their enamel worn smooth by decades of sugar and heat. |
