Once upon a time, there were three bachelors who decided it would be fun to eat pie for breakfast. Rob, Pete, and Joel thought this would be fun to do on Thanksgiving morning! The guys, along with the help of a few friends, decided to bake the pies the day before. Friends from miles around came to eat pie with them on Thanksgiving morning, and thus begin the very first annual Pie Breakfast. The first year they baked around 15 pies and around 35 people came to enjoy the different recipes. Now, six years later, the bachelors are no longer single guys baking pies, but married men with children. Instead of 15 pies and 35 guests, there are now 40 pies and around 150 guests. The tradition has developed into a favorite for many Park City residents, and it has fed pies to hundreds of mouths. Some of the favorites through the years are Lemon Icebox, Banana Creme, Bonnie's Chocolate, Heath Bar, Caramel Apple Crunch, Magnolia, Millionaire Pie, and for the last two years, the 21 and over Jack Daniels Pie. Some that have come and gone are the Margarita Pie, the Avocado Pie, and the "what did they put in this - everything" pie. Last year, the Schillingers joined the team of families behind the tradition, and they opened their home to host this year. As always, the morning was a huge success, and it was fun to see many old friends and new faces as well. Obviously, the pies were a hit as we only had about a pie and a half left when all was said and done. It' s amazing after all the pie tasting that we still had room for an amazing Thanksgiving dinner that afternoon.
