I have had thsis at Weidman's restaurant. It is now closed after over 100 years. This is a recipe that needs to be preserved. People drove for miles and miles to eat this pie. Thanks for posting.

I've had this and have looked for the recipe for years. This isn't fast food, but it's worth the time and trouble. Thanks!
