Chicken Pie Shop, a San Diego institution, 1992

March 11, 1992
Everyone knows our Larry Himmel loves to visit new and old places. Tonight Larry visits The Chicken Pie Shop-a San Diego landmark since 1938.
The University Heights location was the third in 54 years. 78-year-old George Whidehead was the original owner and was still putting in 12-hour days. And talk about loyal customers--Marshall and Andrew sure loved the pies! Larry said the Chicken Pie Shop would be around to turn another generation of San Diegans into old time customers-how right he was. Thirty one years later, it’s still a San Diego favorite.

The coolest thing about the '90s was that people from the '20s '30s '40s & '50s were around. They understood about Real Life as they unwound..!

My grandmother was born in 1918, and she’s still around! But I know what you mean. And 9/11 happened 22 years ago!

My first time was in 1974. When it was on Fifth and Robinson.

I’ve tried that place a few times, WAY too much salt. I couldn’t taste anything except sodium. Dangerous food
