James Lasyone began working on his famous meat pie recipe in the 1950s. It wasn’t until 1967 that he rented out the bottom half of a building and began selling meat pies. In the early 1970s, the editor of "House Beautiful" stopped in to try one and ever since, people have been flocking to Lasyone’s to get their hands on a meat pie.
