Three Generations, One Great Story
Hello neighbor, my name is Tom, and I'm the founder and namesake of Tom's Fried Pies, which I started in 2011 with a recipe developed by my Mama long ago to feed me, my 12 brothers and sisters, and my coal miner Daddy. There weren't many days that she wasn't up before dawn, fryin' up fruit pies and meat pies made from leftovers for my Daddy's lunch pail to take to work in the coal mines of Kentucky. Before long, my Daddy's fried pies were missing from his lunch pail at the mines. All of the men wanted Ms. Lillie's fried pies, and the only way Daddy would get his lunch was for Mama to send enough for the other miners.
