Brownie's Diner's - Coconut Meringue Pie
Source of Recipe
from Fantome
This was a long time favoriate diner in Dallas, Tx.
They had one of the best coconut pies around. It
was a frequent stop of politicians including a
friend of mine who ran for Governor a few years
back. I contacted his staff and asked if J M would
like the recipe for the pie. After the election he
called me and asked for it.... it's a good one I got
from the chef who has since passed on.
