Generations of drivers on Wisconsin’s Interstate 94 have taken exit 88 for one very delicious reason: the pie at the Norske Nook.

This family restaurant with a quirky name is an institution in Wisconsin, a place where the pie is elevated to an art form. People drive for hours to visit the Nook, and while a couple of other locations have opened up around Wisconsin, the original cafe in Osseo can’t be beat. It’s a place that’s even found its way onto the presidential campaign trail, and every candidate who stops at the Norske Nook is a winner.

Here’s why.
