Do you mean the Los Angeles Farmer's Market and pecan pie?

Probably Farmers Market, but not pecan pie. A slice with pecans on the top and mixed through but not a separate base.

Now this is a tourist spot as a bus took us there. Sorry I can not remember better. I did post years ago without any success.

Go to

and see if any ofthat looks familiar. That's the LA Farmer's Market website. When yousay slice, do you mean like a wedge of pie, or a slice of cake, or aslice of bread? Can you give us more of a description? What was thetexture and taste like?

I know of THE farmer's market in LA. But I don't remember this thing.
