We were very sad when the resaurant closed and my husband has been looking for a substitute for his all-time favorite 'Dixie Pie' ever since. He will be thrilled with 'the real thing'.

I...I just googled Dixie Pie and your blog came up. I also worked at Tippins, in Kansas City, when I was in highschool. I LOVED their dixie pie, except I never knew it was made with bourbon or walnuts. I thought it was just a pecan pie with chocolate. Anyways, today I got a neat email from someone that read my blog that used to work for Tippins. I thought Id share it with you too.<BR/><BR/>(I had some spare time on my hand today and thought I would see what Tippins was up to. (funny what we do when we have the time!!)<BR/>I saw your blog about Dixie pie and wanted to let you know what I know ... I started working at Tippins as a waitress in 1982 and left when they couldn't get out of their bankruptcy situation. By then I was running our production facility with over 150 employees and 6 supervisors under me.<BR/>Long story short ... Dixie pie was made with walnut halves. (Not that I would not eat one made with pecans). It was called Derby Pie when we first opened but because of the copyright laws, someone else already had that name ... thus Dixie Pie came about. We also used to use bourbon in the formula but our 3rd restaurant was in Independence, MO and our 4th in Tulsa, OK so religious concerns and a "family environment" forced us to take out the bourbon.<BR/>The only pie we continued to produce with a liquor content was the mincemeat and the chocolate cherry rum cake over the holidays.<BR/>I spent many years working for Tippins and it's nice to come across someone else who enjoys and remembers the product we used to put out. I have all of those formulas etched in my memory forever!<BR/><BR/>Have a good day)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081697878085094417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689792761901900858.post-28925456473607973612008-11-21T11:36:00.000-08:002008-11-21T11:36:00.000-08:00Thank you so much for this recipe,it was the pie o...Thank you so much for this recipe,it was the pie of choice at every Thanksgiving celebration until Tippins closed.
