Banana Cream Pie?

[samg316]

I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions of where I can get a good banana cream pie? Important factors would be: The crust, the pudding/filling, and the amount of "banana-ness". I prefer real banana as opposed to just banana flavoring of course.

Let me know if you've got any ideas....

Are you looking for an entire pie to take home, or just a slice? It was a while back, but I had an awesome slice of banana cream pie at the Twin City Grill in MOA. I like banana cream pie, but it's not my go-to dessert choice (that would normally be something chocolate). I still remember this pie as being super delicious.

Keys in downtown Minneapolis makes a fantastic banana cream pie.

The savory dishes are just mediocre, but the desserts are generally pretty good.

Also great place to unwind after a long day in court, esp. during happy hour.

The Seward coop has a great pie made with natural ingredients. They don't always have it, so it might be best to call them.

Call me crazy, but I just love the banana cream pie at the House of Wong in Roseville. The owner learned to make pies in the 50s at a diner in the Dakotas somewhere, before moving to the Twin Cities and opening a Chinese restaurant. It's not expensive either.

I love good banana cream pie, and there isn't much of it around. I mean made from scratch, not a lot of weird stuff including those fried banana discs that some places put on top. Birchwood Cafe has a reputation for making a good one but over the years I've hardly ever seen it there. I did read recently that they had one, might have had a bit of chocolate in it though. They would definitely bake a whole one though for $30 or so, I've never wanted to spend that much but I'm sure it would be fabulous...

I also have a distant memory of some great banana cream pie at Turtle Bread Co. years ago, with many many layers of very thinly sliced fresh bananas in it- they might custom bake one for you.

The only memorable Banana Cream pie I've had was @ Norske Nook in Osseo, WI. All of their pies are epic.
