Prize Pie
Taste of the Town, a fundraiser for Family Services, Inc., held a Kentucky Pie Contest this year. I got to be one of the judges for the contest, and I really enjoyed the Triple Chip Race Pie.
The pie was made by Jim Gilbert, a co-owner of http://www.coupons4Winston.com.
Gilbert had never made a chocolate-nut pie like this, but he winged it pretty darn well.
