So truth be told, I never really liked banana cream pie, I always loved bananas but thought the combination with custard in a dessert seemed weird. Then I got a job as an accountant at McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants corporate office. One of McCormick’s top restaurants is Jake’s Famous Crawfish, where my new team took me for lunch on my first day. I was told I had to try the banana cream pie – “it is incredible!” my new manager exclaimed. I didn’t want to appear like a whiner by saying I didn’t like banana cream pie, so I obliged. Plus who am I to say no to a dessert?!
