Palm Springs chef Tara Lazar describes her shop in the 1887 Victorian cottage as an homage to Americana and the military.
For much of the past 36 years, Oceanside’s famous “Top Gun” house has been boarded up and moved from place to place as the city’s downtown waterfront exploded with growth.
“Top Gun” memorabilia lines the walls of HIGH-pie, a new hand-pie shop located inside the historic Top Gun house in Oceanside. “I loved breakfast and my friends would come and visit and we wouldn’t have places to take them, so I got the idea I should open a breakfast place. I started losing more and more money sitting in front of my computer and decided if I’m going to lose money, I might as well go into the restaurant business.”
Meanwhile, in 1986, “Top Gun” was released to global acclaim. Tom Cruise starred in the movie as a cocky San Diego-based Navy pilot. The Graves house was featured in one scene of the film as the home of Cruise’s onscreen girlfriend, played by actress Kelly McGillis. Lazar said her concept for HIGH-pie is tied closely to the movie “Top Gun,” American patriotism, the military and the ocean. Because of the shop’s small size, a dessert concept worked best for the space, and Lazar said she knew Scott Malkin was a fan of apple pie. So is she.
