"It’s tough to find a better pecan pie than Emporium’s Drunken Nut. The secret ingredient isn’t love, it’s bourbon. Bourbon and a load of butter, because it’s made without any corn syrup — a rarity in pecan pie land. Enjoy it in the pie shops in Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Fort Worth, or McKinney. They’re all cute little coffee shop-sized places, and when you order a slice in-house, it’s served to you on a fine china plate. Whole pies are also available to order nationwide." - Courtney E. Smith
