Celebrity Chef Gives Pie Tips

Tod Wilson, the owner of Mr. Tod's Pie Factory in Somerset, doesn't just own a prosperous dessert-making business. He was also a winning contestant on ABC's "Shark Tank," winning the confidence of investors to put their money behind his pies.

He stopped in to Middlesex County College's cooking school to give their insipient chefs a hand in how to create a great pie. Wilson has been visiting the school and offering tricks of the trade for several years. He is always a big hit, and he's got the pie sales to prove it.

MCC students Ryan Dunn of Colonia and Rachel Carrizo of Parlin were on hand to receive pie instruction.

Wilson's website also does a zippy mail order business in strawberry cheesecake, pecan pie, and a buttermilk coconut pie that is to die for.
