Wendy from our Oxford store: "My grandmother made incredible pies, never cutting them in more than 4 pieces! Her specialty was pecan pie, she would shell the nuts and then stand at her old fashion country kitchen table and mix the dough and roll it out and put the ingredients in the shell , all the while talking to everybody and frying chicken and making collard greens, etc. My mother tried to duplicate the recipe but it is hard to come up with measurements when you get instructions like, if the eggs are big use two and if you don’t have white Caro syrup, dark is fine but always use dark brown sugar, mix this up till it looks good to you. Mom made a great pecan pie, but just not quite like Grandma Bordeaux’s so when I served a piece of Achatz’ pecan pie to my dad, I never expected him to tear up and tell me that was exactly like his mother’s. Thanks Achatz, I will always remember that Thanksgiving."
