Ed and Kay's

Today’s recipe comes from “Miss Alma,” a local legend.  For many years she and her husband operated a restaurant called “Ed and Alma’s” that served what we in Arkansas  affectionately call good home cooking ,  When Ed died in the mid 70s, Miss Alma continued operating the restaurant until it sold in 1982. She retired in an on again, off again fashion until she finally quit the restaurants business for good.  She was coaxed out of retirement to cook for a local realtor and his friends for an occasional lunch.  Needless to say, you wanted to become a “friend of Lib” if for no other reason that to sample some of that great Southern cooking whipped up by Miss Alma.

Ed and Alma’s, now known as Ed and Kay’s, was and is famous for its pies.  They have even been written up in Michael and Jane Stern’s RoadFood.  Take a look at that meringue!

There was always a lot of variety of pie to be had, and usually people would head straight to the pie cabinet to make their selection either immediately upon being seated or after ordering entrees. There was no time to be wasted since some of those flavors seemed to vanish as soon as they were sent out from the kitchen. Probably the most iconic pie Miss Alma made, and one carried on by Kay, is the PCP.
