Rich's Pecan Pie
Pecan Pie is a rich southern tradition and this one is no exception. The recipe originated from Rich's Department Store in Atlanta. A southern institution Rich's department store was open in 1867 closed in 2005. People still rave about Rich's Bakery even though it hasn't been around for 18 years. Recipe compliments of Uncle Phaedrus, Finder of Lost Recipes and given to us by Nancy Bailey and Rob Robinson.
