An East Sacramento staple for more than seven decades is closing its doors. Pasty Shack’s last day of operation will be April 24.<\/p>\n
The owner of Pasty Shack, Bobbie Mier, said it was just getting too expensive to continue.<\/p>\n
For decades, customers have walked through the door craving the comfort of home cooking. A pasty is a baked hand pie filled with meat and vegetables.<\/p>\n
“The aroma of the pasties that are even outside the door brings people in,” Mier said. “Anyone who grew up with pasties, when they come in, they say this was the closest to homemade.”<\/p>\n
