For the residents of California, upper midwest,& southeast have any of
you eaten at Bakers Square restaurant?
They have the best pies especially their crusts and wondering if some
one has cloned their recipe yet.
Farmer Jacks grocery chain -michigan-has been selling them in their
bakery aisle but last I looked price has hit $9.25 which is a bit high
for me.
Just thought I try here first.

No, but I've eaten at Marie Callendar's which is supposedly
better. I thought the food was mediocre at best and
defintely over priced. However I haven't ever turned down a
pie from MC when someone brings it as a house gift. I
wouldn't turn away a pie from Bakers Square either.

Cloned what recipe, the crust? Their crust is much better than frozen
pie crust, but not any better than any fresh pie crust.

My wife buys a lot of Baker's Square pies at their local restaurant. I
like their French Silk pies, but most of the others I think I can do a
better job myself (and have a 10" pie instead of an 8")

I could probably do as good a job with the french silk pie too, but a
10" silk pie would be dangerous.

They were even better when they were "Pop n Fresh", before being sold to
Baker's Square.

If there's a nit to pick, some nitwit will pick it.

Michigan??? What happened to Chef Pierre pies? They were
the cornerstone of store bought pies when I lived there.

I, too, loved those pies! But Chef Pierre went the way of most great
companies: they were bought out. Pet did the deed, kept the same pie for a
while, and then axed the subsidiary. Too much competition for other, lousy
Pet company pies sold under other names.
