Show Notes
In 1904, a kitchen mishap in Connersville, Indiana, led to the creation of butterscotch pie. Sarah Wheelers burnt custard, turned into a pie filling by her sons, became a hit. The Wheeler brothers launched the first Wheelers Lunch in 1920, expanding to multiple Indiana towns and Indianapolis. Known for 24-hour service, free coffee refills, and fresh ingredients, the chain grew with drive-ins, buffets, and concessions. The last Wheelers closed in 1969, but Sarahs butterscotch pie recipe, shared years later, keeps the accidental treat alive.
