Two Guys and a Pie are back in Beijing hutong, taking over the kitchen at the Cuju sports bar and rummery on Wednesdays from 6 pm on. Individual-size savory pies are 30 yuan ($4.70), and the bar will offer "colonial cocktails" for 35 yuan. And in a special bow to the baseball World Series which starts this week, Cuju and the pie guys will be open for each game at 8 am starting on Wednesday, serving up the Australian fare to wayward fans of New York, Kansas City or whatever major-league team inspires them to chase an early morning pie and beer.
