Oops, I was misinformed. It DOES have calories, but they’re worth it!!! Unfortunately, it’s too late to order one of Bud Royer’s fabulous pies for Thanksgiving, but you should get your Christmas request in now. And while you’re at it, watch the clip of the cafe from CBS Sunday Morning at Royers Round Top Cafe web site; the segment ran on November 22.  Here’s a photo from Bud of the pie counter at the cafe, which is between Austin and Houston. The diminutive town makes a fun family holiday excursion, by the way. Want to  make a pie in the sky yourself? Here’s Royer’s pie crust recipe from our November 2005 issue; add your own filling.
