The smell of Marie Callender's always whisks me away back into my childhood, when my parents would get off after a long day of work tending a little mall coffee shop and we'd occasionally go to Marie Callender's for some reasonably priced American grub. And that's what Marie Callendar's is. It's not amazing food nor is it an amazing franchise. But it's comfortable, quaint, and affordable. What brought my boyfriend and I to Marie's today is the $8.99 strawberry double cream pie. Oh it was delicious. The pie's usually go for ~$16, and 1 slice is easily $5.50. So $9 for an entire pie is just entirely awesome. We wanted to eat the whole thing. Creamy, just the right amount of sweet, and fresh strawberries. I am always a fan of Marie Callender pies. From the apple pies my mom would buy when I was in elementary school to the college pi days where my RA would get an assortment of pies to now when I go and get my own pies out of pure gluttony ... I have had Marie Callender pies for a long time, and will keep doing so.
