Spencer Thomas @ The Texas Pie Company
Originally uploaded by seanclaes

I have taken photos around Kyle for the last 3 years and realized I've never taken a picture of the interior of the Texas Pie Company.

I ran the exterior shot back in August 2006, but never anything on the inside.

So, I'm going to fix that.

This is Spencer Thomas. When he's not fronting an awesome blues/rock band he's one of the owners of the Texas Pie Company. If you're looking for a pie that's better than your mom makes (don't tell mom) check this place out. Dutch Apple, Cherry, Fudge Pecan, Blueberry, Buttermilk Chess, Coconut Macaroon, Coconut Cream... if you've got a pie want.. drive down Center Street in Kyle and look for the HUGE slice of cherry pie. You'll thank me later.

They sell the 10" pies for between $12-$14, but if you're not wanting an entire big pie,they've also got mini-pies for like $3-$4. They've also got other dessert items like macaroons, cupcakes, brownies, and lemon bars.

If you're in Kyle for lunch, stop in and get yourself a sandwich, as Texas Pie Company is also a sandwich shop.

Oh... they also cater. They make full-pan casseroles and pot pies that are pretty darn good. That's a big thing for me to say. I hate casseroles.

Do you get the idea... I really like this place.

By the way, try their Peanut Butter Pie. It's the most amazine pie I've had in a long time. Totally my favorite pie of all time.

The Spencer Thomas Band rocked the street at the Dia De Los Muertos party...

If you look close at the right... you'll see the mannequin (provided by Lynn Wilkerson of Great Big Signs [http://www.seanclaes.com/GreatBigSigns.html]) that sparked a slightly odd conversation with my 4 year old... as to what it was, and why someone would want a "great big doll to dress up."

Like I said.. it was a fun night.

JAM!


This was the scene recently when Spencer Thomas played a live show at Kyle's Lucky Cup Coffee House. There's going to be another live show next Friday there... with Marc Utter and the Blackland. Good times.
