A slice of "Derby-Pie" from Kern's Kitchen. The Kern family is said to have created the pie in 1950 as the signature item for a restaurant it used to operate. What people commonly call "derby pie" is like an embellished pecan pie: sticky, sweet filling made with bourbon and chocolate chips. Ironically, Kern's recipe is made without bourbon, and it uses walnuts instead of pecans. (Courtesy of Kern's Kitchen Inc.)
