Costco clearly #1

People keep telling me spec's whiskey pecan pie is really good, but I just don't believe it'll hold a candle to Costco's

Others say Spec's is trash


Which do you go for

I like the Spec's pecan bourbon pie, done a few over the years. Never tried the Costco pies, their pies are typically double normal pie size, and we just don't eat that much sweets. You sound pretty fired up about the Costco pies, so interested in details, might be good to grab one for a family get together.

I make a pretty good pecan pie. Making crust isn't near as hard as people make it out to be. I do a standard pecan pie, no chocolate, bourbon, etc. I've enjoyed those other types, but the pecans really shine in a standard one.

That being said, I have also had some good store pecan pie. Believe my parents were gifted a pecan pie every year from some Texas company that was pretty tasty. Most pecan pie I find to be too sweet and imbalanced.

Everyone should make a homemade pecan pie at least once. It's simple.

I would gladly try a Costco pecan pie but since very few in my wife's family are pecan pie fans we don't need one that big and she makes a great one. Last year she added coconut to the filling on a whim and it was fantastic. Pecan pie and ice cream is about as good as it gets when it comes to dessert.

It's not bourbon. It's freaking crown Royal.

Blah, I think you're right. They're still pretty tasty! I do want to try the Costco version.

I agree. Specs has a trash pecan pie.

I saw it on commercials during the A&M game last Saturday and it looked like dried ****
