It is the most delicious pie I've ever eaten and have looked for about 2 years for even a close copycat with no luck. Please help! Thanks, GabrielleHello Gabrielle,
Sorry, I had no more success than you. No recipes. No copycats. No “tastes-likes.”
There is a photo and a description here: Foodie Diaries
“Our version of a New Orleans classic. Chilled layers of banana pudding and vanilla butter sponge cake in a cinnamon graham pastry shell, layered with banana rum sauce and topped with freshly sliced bananas and warm caramel.”

Bananas Foster Pie (menu description)
Chilled banana pudding and vanilla sponge cake layered in a cinnamon-graham pastry with rum sauce and warm caramel.I’ll post this for reader input, but it will be weeks before it appears on the site. I think it unlikely that anyone out there has this recipe except Dave and Buster employees who are probably sworn not to give it out.
There are other “bananas foster pie” recipes on the web, but I did not find any that looked like Dave and Busters’, or any that had the same ingredients.
Are you a skilled cook? If so, why not try to create something similar yourself? You’ll need to make the vanilla butter sponge cake, and banana rum sauce separately, then cook the pudding in the cinnamon graham pie shell.
There is a banana bread pudding with banana rum sauce recipe here: Banana Rum Sauce
Another one here:A Bananas Foster bread pudding recipe here: Bananas Foster Bread Pudding
A vanilla sponge cake recipe here: Gretchen's Bakery
There is a cinnamon graham pastry shell recipe here: Southern Food.about.com
Another one here: Betty Crocker
To do this would be entirely experimental. It would be a lot of cooking. You would have to be prepared for failure. On the other hand, even if your final product was not exactly like Dave and Busters’, it might be quite delicious in its own right. A Bananas Foster Bread Pudding made with vanilla sponge cake instead of bread, with banana rum sauce, and warm caramel sauce, and cooked in a cinnamon graham pie shell might be close and might be quite tasty even if it’s not actually close.
If you try it, let me know what happens. If you create something similar to Dave and Busters’, send me the recipe.

Morrison's Cafeteria Turkey and Dressing
From: melissa Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 9:43 PM To: phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com Subject: Morrison's recipes Thank you soooooo much for these recipes. My Mom and I had a shopping day once a week and we always chose Morrison's no matter where we were in NW FL/S. AL. Beautiful memories! What I am looking for is their plain dressing from the turkey and dressing. It had no rice, no pecans and just the tiniest bit sweet. To top off the fork tender turkey was the yellowish gravy. Anyone remember this? My other fave was the liver and onions and I'm so happy to know it was baked. Can't wait to try. See if my request rings any bells with anyone please. Thank You So Much, MelissaHello Melissa,
Please visit my Morrison’s page at: Morrison's Cafeteria
That page has a list of, and links to, all of the Morrison’s recipes that I have posted thus far. I have an actual Morrison’s Kitchen Manual from the 1950s – 1960s era, and most of the recipes that I have posted are from that manual. They are cafeteria recipes and therefore most of the measurements are by weight, even the liquids. Most of them are recipes for cafeteria quantities of food, not 4 to 6 serving home kitchen quantities. You will have to cut them down yourself.
There are a few (very few) Morrison’s recipes on my site that have been converted to cups & tablespoons, etc. by someone and have been cut down to home kitchen size. I found those posted on the Internet like that. They are not from the Kitchen Manual and may or may not be authentic.
The actual Morrison’s recipe for their turkey and their gravy (and the corn bread for dressing) is here: 5-9-2016
The dressing recipe given there is for their pecan “Dressing Deluxe”, but see below for their other dressing recipe, which was “Celery Dressing.” This is from the Manual. It does not have rice or pecans. I do not see anything in it that would give it a slight sweet taste, but individual Morrison’s cooks often added things to the basic recipes that they considered an improvement. In this case, some locations may have added a bit of sugar. At any rate, the turkey and gravy recipe likely was the same whichever dressing they used.All requests are posted for reader input, but it will be 2 to 4 weeks before it appears.

This recipe produces approximately 60 orders. * For the corn bread recipe, see the link above.James, a former Morrison's manager, says the slight sweetness was from the sugar in the corn bread.
