Oprah fesses up to Cape Cod pie-buying spree
BARNSTABLE, Mass. — Oprah Winfrey is fessing up to her love of a Massachusetts pie company’s creations.
A spokeswoman for her production company initially denied that Winfrey had purchased a pile of pies from the Centerville Pie Co. while on Cape Cod for Eunice Kennedy Shriver’s funeral last week. But on Wednesday, the talk show mogul called the Cape Cod Times to say, yes, “the pie-gate escapade actually did happen.”
Pie company owner Kristin Broadley says she delivered a chicken pot pie to Winfrey’s traveling party last week, then followed with two more orders. Broadley says she delivered a total of 20 pies, including chicken, custard and banana cream, to Winfrey’s crew.
Broadley says a mention of the pies on a radio show hosted by Winfrey’s friend Gayle King has sparked a flood of orders.
