You can't call it a Derby Pie

derby pie

Here's a trivia question: In which state is the Kentucky Derby held?

Unfortunately, if you said California, you're wrong. It's Kentucky!

The Kentucky Derby takes place tomorrow, May 6 at Churchill Downs, and with the run for the roses, many other long-standing traditions will be observed. Lovely ladies will be sipping on mint juleps and if you're lucky, you'll get to eat a slice of Derby Pie. But be warned, just because the pie is made with chocolate and pecans and served on Derby Day doesn't mean you can call it a Derby Pie.

Derby Pie is a registered trademark of Kern's Kitchen. The pie was created as a specialty pastry in 1968 at the Melrose Inn in Prospect, Kentucky. Today, Kern's Kitchen is the only company that can bake and sell the pie as "Derby Pie."
