Amish Dessert Shows Up in Our New England Dessert Survey, How?

The Morning Waking Crew conducted a 'favorite dessert' survey and we were surprised at one dessert many listeners enjoyed.Believe it or not, Amish Country's 'Shoofly Pie' was a favorite of many listeners. How does that happen?  Do we not vacation at the lake or beach anymore?  Is Amish the new Orlando?  Are we so wrapped up in our electronic lives that families now want to get away to a quieter non 'smartphone' way of life?  Anyway you slice it, the Amish should find a way mass-produce. 'Shoofly Pie.'

Of course, the majority of people said their favorite dessert involved chocolate.

 (I'm pretty sure this is what Mark's dreams are made of, minus the strawberry)

Congratulations to Zack from North Conway.  He was today's winner of tickets to see Travis Tritt this July.
