Two million pounds of sweet potatoes. That’s what it’s going to take to get Patti LaBelle’s suddenly famous sweet potato pie back onto shelves at Wal-Mart.
Which means the pie that became a viral sensation during the weekend — selling roughly one every second — after a customer sang its praise in a YouTube video may not be back in time to grace your Thanksgiving table. Not that Wal-Mart isn’t trying. “There’s a lot of moving parts. The suppliers have been working all weekend,” Kerry Robinson, vice president for bakery and deli at Wal-Mart, said Monday.
Why wait for Walmart to get more of Patti LaBelle’s sweet potato pies in stock? (They’re saying they may not have more in before Christmas, let alone Thanksgiving!).
You know you can count on THE HUB (by way of today.com) to give you the information you need!
Here’s Patti’s recipe — but please don’t tell her we gave it to you!
