I’ll allow it!

That would be great, but the closest you can get are the folks at Sonic.

TGI Friday’s had a peanut butter cup pie that I enjoyed–in fact, it was probably the only restaurant-available pie that I liked. (I don’t really like pie in general.)

It disappeared maybe a year or two ago–I still check the menu every time I go in, hoping that’s back, but it never is.

Weird coincidence: Earlier today I was watching an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. She was having dinner with a friend. The name of the restaurant: Steak & Ale.

Not \*the \*Stake & Ale, but still.  
mmm
