cobbler

In a cobbler's workshop in Los Angeles, the footprints of Hollywood history are stacked floor to ceiling, watched over by a man who says his profession is dying.

Removing the top of the box, he revealed two carved wooden forms known as shoe lasts that cobblers use to make their wares.

Rose McGee’s years-long relationship with buttery crusts and heavenly aromas began with an impulse one day one Sunday morning to make a sweet potato pie and a blackberry cobbler.

The small box includes three flavors, all inspired by Salt Lick’s menu: honey pecan BBQ, smoked brisket and blackberry cobbler.

Yet, it often occupies a space reserved for quick snacks or sweet endings — a banana on the go, peach cobbler, or a bowl of strawberries.
