Pecan Pie

This Pecan Pie features Alake’s Georgia Pecans, a small business that supports the community of Savannah in a beautiful way. Mustafa Maxwell, the owner of Alake’s Pecan, profit shares the sales from his foraged pecans with his neighbors. Pecan trees grow like mad throughout the city of Savannah, specifically in the neighborhoods of the Westside. By offering to clean up yards and forage the abundant amount of pecans Mustafa is not only sharing local pecans but also igniting the economy of our community. So, this pie is both delicious and builds people up!

Bonded by a common viewpoint on what makes for delicious food, Chef Mashama Bailey, who received the James Beard in 2019, and restaurateur Johno Morisano partnered to build The Grey in Historic Downtown Savannah. Located in an old Greyhound bus terminal, The Grey reclaims the building’s history and places it at the very heart of Southern cooking by transporting guests to the past, present, and future of Port City Southern Cuisine. Tapping into much of what they learned in creating that space, Mashama and Johno opened The Grey Market, a New York bodega meets Southern lunch counter, in 2018. Their talented team, including senior manager Colleen Ferris and executive pastry chef, Tanya Matta, are ensuring that everything is delicious and making its way to you exactly as it should.
