Great Closed Colorado Restaurant Returns With Famous Pies for Thanksgiving

The summer of 2024 in Colorado included the closing of a restaurant that had been in operation for 40 years. For Thanksgiving, that restaurant is back with their pies.

Those who do actually score one of these pies will be smiling big, when it's time for dessert.
