Displaced Okies and Frito Chili Pie

About this episode

The episode discusses the birth of a new tradition among Okies in Kansas involving Frito Chili Pie.

Traditions have to start somewhere. I was present at the birth of a new tradition for a bunch of fellow Okies living in Kansas involving a favorite food from our home state. A few things had to fall into place before the tradition was born - like the invention of the Frito and for the daytime high temperature not to exceed a certain limit! SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTIST!
