Film director Nora Ephron held area-wide pie auditions for a coveted role in her feature film, Michael. The unanimous winner: Threadgill's kitchen jefe Sam Castro's lattice crust Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, a sweet-tangy filling encased in a tender, flaky crust. The pie evidently plays a pivotal role in the film which also starred John Travolta, Andie McDowell and William Hurt. We're happy to report that the Movie Star pie is now a regular part of Threadgill's cast, starring on the dessert menu daily.
