"Home to a Shaker community renowned for its well-crafted furniture, Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill serves Shaker Lemon Pie that lures masses for its double-crusted, intensely tart-sweet pie."
"There are some old-fashioned dishes on the menu that may not reflect his locavore culinary bent, but are so beloved by the restaurant’s patrons that he can’t take them off the menu. One of those is the Shaker lemon pie. It is, however, a remarkably simple pie and makes a surprising dessert."
"For nearly 50 years, diners have driven to Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill near Harrodsburg for beauty, history, discovery — and the Shaker Lemon Pie. This double-crusted, intensely tart-sweet pie, filled with faintly bitter, paper-thin slices of whole lemon, makes Kentuckians forget all about the lemon meringue and icebox pies in the world outside."
"Anything involving pastry is a good choice for dessert, especially the marvelously tart Shaker lemon pie."
"And pucker up for the Shaker lemon pie (which has a flaky crust, no meringue and makes the drive worth every mile)."
"Within the flaky crust resides a harmonious blend of three timeless ingredients: lemons, eggs and sugar. With my first bite, I am taken aback by the acidic punch, but the lemons quickly mellow, and I am reminded how beautiful a dish can be when left simply to celebrate one solitary item. You need not look any further than The Trustees’ Table at Shaker Village for this delicious reminder."
"Whether you are an overnight guest, indulge in a hearty meal of fried chicken or country ham at the Trustee's Office Dining Room. Be sure to save room for Shaker lemon pie."
"At the Trustees’ Table, we go full Southern: no one leaves without Shaker lemon pie — a tart pie made with lemon curd and peels."
"The Shaker lemon pie is superb."
